Hey guys, not sure if theres a post somwhere else about this, direct me if there is but i have been trying to think of ways to ski when i get my new skis. Things to use for run ins and run outs for rails etc.. i read somwhere that carpet with a bunch of detergent and water can do the trick? any other cheap ideas?

cheers to the guys who understood,

 The rest of you go shove the search bar up your ass. I have 3 posts to my name and if i had put 'skiing without snow' in the search bar it wouldn't have come up with a thing. I've been mountain biking for the past 4years and dont know any ski lingo, i had no idea summer set ups existed so the search bar would have been no help to me. I understand people get frustrated when new people come to a forum but isnt that the idea behind a forum, a place where people go to ask questions and get advice. 

I realy appreciate those of you who are nice to new memebers such as myself, its those of you who give forums such as this a good reputation.

Haha fuck yea man, there are some assholes on this site for sure.  It takes the same amount of time to type "Build a jib cult" as it does to type "Searchbar you noob."  Plus telling new members to search is real 2008.

Oops, forgot some information.

Materials that work well:
Orange snow fence
Astro turf with soap and water
A ladder with PVC pipe rungs (look in build a jib cult for a pic)
Real snow from an ice rink is fucking prime

Make sure your transition at the bottom the the drop in isnt a really sharp angle, it will kill any speed you have.
