Not sure if anybody's done it, but I can't imagine it wouldn't work. If it supported a slide, it should support a ramp to ski down. How tall is it?

i have as well! Mine is also 5ft tall. I suggest you make your drop in 7ft long...perfect amount of speed. and use the ladder thing for your drop in. :) good luck!!!!

So I know I'm kinda late to the thread but I still thought I'd share, might I recommend re-attatching your slide and just using that, works great for me:

yeah I can see how it might look like that but it's actually nice n smooth, makes for the perfect speed.
