I tried this a while ago. I put the ladders on a realativly flat hill and tried to ski down them. Nothing happened at all. I strongly recommend not attempting this. Join build a Jib or PM COLE. He made some PVC ladders that work great.

if ur thinking of using it as a drop in i think it would work. ive seen a few edits out there using metal like drop ins. so im guessing it would work just fine. for a rail on the other hand i would have to say it would not work to great

i agree.
I think it could come in useful as a drop in just skiing down the rungs though.

if your talking about using a aluminum latter for a drop in it wont slide, but it would work if you put something on top of that like indoor outdoor carpet

if the alum. doesn't slide well enough you could cut pvc pipe in half and put it over the rungs so they slide better. screw it in or glue it or something.

or if you could find a way to keep them whole and put them around the rungs that'd be even better.
