Any tips for setting up a pvc sesh using ice rink snow? I got everything I need and am planning on using a trashcan with wheels or a tarp to move the snow around to a little hill close by. I have rock salt too for firming up the snow. Not sure how I should place the pvc so it doesnt move around or how to construct the lip so it doesnt collapse after hitting it a few times. Anyone has experience w/ this stuff? (also pictures would be nice).
Put a wide foot on the pvc to keep it from rocking. Also can bury it in the lip to help keep it stable.
Can build a small takeoff out of wood with carpet if you're stressing snow. Depends on temps but a lot of times rocking rink
k snow its a little wet, the salt will so wonders if its wet. If you use pow or sugary snow you can heat it up and ice it with a propane torch.

Okay thanks. Im trying to do everything using snow. Seems to be no shortage of it. Planning on going out this Sunday.
Last time i went to a rink for some preseason PVC fun was 10+ years ago. Luckily Ontario is crazy about hockey so there were a couple nearby rinks with a nice slope where they dumped the snow. Photos are from 2012 or 2013, good times
We rarely had any issues with arena staff, always helps to clean up after yourself and be nice to the Zamboni driver, sometimes they'd even ask us where to dump the next load of snow.

Hell yeah. Im in ottawa and the rink is right across the street from my college. When you say "Clean up" does that include shoveling snow back into the pile?or it doesnt matter to just leave it to melt.

Yeah just leave it. They put it out there to melt anyway. But dont leave trash or your rails and stuff all over
Day 2 (ice rink sesh update) We had a proper sesh today. More homies pulled up.
A near by construction crew pulled through at the ice rink and helped move some snow. Landed a nice sw lip f2 which was dope.

ParkingLotPissAnyone know how big of a difference it makes using PVC vs ABS pipe?
abs is gonna be more durable than pvc but is a little more expensive. pvc can crack after a lil while and abs should hold up better. pvc is still a perfectly fine option

Last Sunday I went to the ski the rink again with a more proper setup. @bertBertson pull up and brought an extra rail. So far the best sesh at the ice rink.
