Yeah so we are putting in hardwood floors and ive got quite a bit of berber carpet that we removed. Should i use that for my summer setup or would astroturf work better?

definitely use astro turf, maybe jujst use the carpet for the landing but the astro turf will slide a lot more than the carpet.

carpet works if u have to use it u just need a ton of soap, but turf is better, better still is dry slope material

If you have enough even put some on the sides for more protection for the skis.

Im sure u already made the setup - but carpet sucks only use it unless u want to like 0.5 mph - astro turf is the way to go - and you could use orange fencing to speed things up.
