yeah i got like 1/2 an inch of snow on my drop in and my ramp was over 2x's faster then just the orange fence and carpet but you will need a bigger dropin if your gonna build a jump after it
put basicly on the ends of the pvc some bolts...this means pre drill and put some pic bolts into the wood then the pvc...then just take some big screws and put em up through the bottom...this is what i did and mines held up for over a year
