does anyone know where to get fake snow carpet so i can set up a little rail setup in the summer

 

it just sux so much to wait all summer

 

snowcarpet is over-rated... just use some old scraps of carpet or go get some cheap carpet from Home Depot and then on the way back home stop at your local icerink and steal the zamboni shavings.... last summer we had multiple rail sessions like that.

To have a nice size set up, how many trucks would you need to fill up if the trucks beds were 8 ft'

You dont even need the snow, just get astro turf, and soap and water and that works well.

one... i got that snow with my mom's minivan and a bunch of garbage cans filled with snow.

 

here is the snowcarpet that Skier150 has setup at his house... its pretty sick but i prefer real snow.

where can i get astro turf for less than like a ton of money ???

 

homedepot has it for like $0.39 for a square foot... or something like that.... you could spend $40 and get enough for a decent set-up

I want to do this at camp in Mass. for the summer. Some summer skiing done! :P:D:wiggle There is a nice sized hill that I can ski down if I had some snow carpeting.

covering "a nice sized hill" is going to be impossible. rail jams can be roughly simulated in the off season, but free riding would be something else.
