So, thinking about getting some msnow for a backyard setup, is it worth it? should I buy some?

M-Snow is awesome. It's really fast so you don't have to build your setup very tall to get a lot of speed, especially if you use M-wax. I'd say it's 2-3 times faster than astro turf, with the added benefit that you can brake and make turns in it. The only negatives are that it's really expensive and it will destroy your ski bases, so make sure you have some beater skis to use on it.

just bought some, really sweet, and totally worth it, you don't really need to cover the whole surface with it though, space it out like they show on their website, it actually is really worth the money

Is there anything you can do to protect your bases from MSnow, such as waxing with a hard wax or using graphite?

Talked to the guy on the phone, he said that they don't really effect the bases if you have their wax on your skis,
in other news: Got some. so be lookin back for some serious review time for this stuff. Stoked for the summer.

They have msnow specific wax, but i would just wax and not scrape. might slow you down though, but try it out
