you should try and get and industrial pvc thats got a diameter of 6 inches and its about 12-14 feet long and then make your supports. ive seen this at one of my local hills except they just froze it into snow, too bad there isnt any yet...

Absolutely insane idea

Tell someone when you go out to ski it, so they know where to scrape your remains off of the hill

sounds like fun

75% chance you fail horribly
20% chance you die
5% chance epic win!

i'd go for the 5% !

Just get the largest diameter PVC pipe you can find.  At our hill there's a PVC cannon that they just stick in the snow, you could do that if you have access to shitty boilerplate ice like they do.
