artificial snow surface for the backyard
I would like to practice feature riding (rails, tabletops, etc.) over summer.
Since this type of riding doesn't require a lot of pitch, nor a lot of snow (just some in front of the feature, and some at the end), I was thinking that using some artificial snow surface would be sufficient. I've seen it on various ski/snowboard shows, where they have a plastic snow surface for demo purposes. Does anyone know if this stuff can be bought somewhere? I only found one site (http://www.powderpak.net), but they don't mention if they sell it. Some hardware/gardening stores sell fake plastic grass, would that work for this purpose? I would think it's too soft, but who knows? Anyone tried it in their backyards? |

Never actually seen this stuff but read an article on it a while ago.
Its used for commercial indoor ski centres, not sure if you can get a small amount for your backyard, but maybe worth a try. I'ts probably used more for outdoor centres, I live within 40 mins of 2 (outdoor) slopes using this, and 10 mins of one slope (indoor) using frozen water. Considering it only snows here about once every 5 years that's quite lucky I reckon. btw, a lot of boarders prefer the outdoor artificial to the 'real' snow. |

hmm, lemme try that again a lot of boarders prefer the outdoor artificial to the 'real' snow indoors. |
