im also  looking for some stuff for a summer jib setup. i think astroturf is made out of nylon so i dont see a reason why any nylon carpet wouldnt work. but if you find some good stuff post it up

its not too expensive.
or you could just get some really old shitty carpet or rug. (usually you can find something free.)
and then get some old shaved ice from a local ice rink.
thats what me and my friends did basically all summer.

shaved ice works.  if not go to home depot or lowes and ask for indoor/outdoor carpet. pretty cheap

I'm actually having the same problem (about summer skiing). I've actually heard that astro turf will ruin the base of ur skis or something (idk if it's true). But I've seen some ppl use that orange fence u see at construction sights. idk how well it slide caz i haven't tried it...or built a drop in ramp. But I'm plannin on it soon caz I just build a 10 ft. box

find a pool that is next to a house and build a roll in off of the roof, to a kicker into the pool, put turf on the roll in and just get it wet.
