Sleds actually work much better on ice than snow. And by ice, I mean
*ice* - clear enough to see a fish through it ice.

I'd probably just spray it with a hose and wait for it to freeze. But
if you want to build a homemade snowmaker, you're in luck because the
difficult part about snowmaking is how to make it light and fluffy like
the real stuff and you don't have to for this application.
