if you ask near by dry ski slopes and ask if they have any spare they usally do they might give it to you for free or make you pay and if your looking for a good rail just buy a cheap skate rail you can get a 7 foot portable one for like £30

Has anyone ever heard of Turf Runner? This stuff sells for $3.99 CAD a foot (6' wide) at Canadian Tire. Never heard of it and wonder how good it works

my local home depot had rugs of turf that were 6x8 for 15 bucks a piece. the turf slides real nice too on drop ins. check it out they most likely have a similar deal at yours local  home depot.

how well does the snow fence slide? and do you have to have something extra under it?

snow fence is way faster. the only con is you have very little control of your skis when your on it. i found that putting snow fence over the turf makes you have a little more control and a LOT more speed. but if you dont have the money to do that, just snow fence cause its so damn fast.
