if your drop in has a steep section you can use white lattice like this:

Before I converted my old setup to mSnow, my drop in was lattice on the top part, and turf on the transition/lip

Ridiculous

Fynluebkemy setup is too far away from my house

500 gallon tote and a little water pump would be the ticket.

Those totes are easy to come by and aren't expensive.

55 gallon drum would also work but you'll need at least 2.

Rparrif your drop in has a steep section you can use white lattice like this:

or orange snow fencing. slick and gives you speed but only use it at the top, where you don't need to edge even slightly

soap and water

put pam or something on the rail itself

I read this as dish soap and a horse. I don't know if a horse would help but I was somewhat amused.

OP if you can’t get a hose bring a decent size jug with you if you can. Water goes a long way toward sliding faster. The more dry the more grabby

Fair point. I use them for watering BMX jumps in the summer but I drag them around with my truck.

Also forgot to mention the later setup we had at the local ski hill we bought one of those pesticide sprayers that you pump up and filled it with water, was like $30 and usually lasted a few sessions
