Can you...

See I think that would be really hard because when you go down they would just move...i think that you would have to have a lot of them...Just get indoor/outdoor carpet
 
^ but you see indoor/ outdoor carpet would cost money, just pile a bunch of pine needles down. i would asume they work just as well as water ramp carpet
 
I dont care about my skis, or shit sticks as I like to call them. I have a steep hill mostly covered in pine needles, thats why I aksed.
 
i dont think you can, at least not that well. Just go to rona and get some cheep snow fencing. It takes some skills to stay on the stuff without sliding off the sides, specially if its a longer innrun but the stuff works like a dream
 
Yeah, I hear it works pretty well, especially if you're just going down the hill. Indoor-outdoor carpet isn't really very expensive, though, if you're using it for a rail setup. I just bought a 3' by 16' strip for $15.
 
did you really feel the need to go onto NS and ask if you can ski on pine needles when you have a steep hill covered in pine needles nearby? just try it, and tell us how it went. i guess it would be easier if its wet outside though.

and skiing without snow? come on, that is just soo 05, dude.
 
Its 90 outside, and I didnt feel like going out in ski boots and clearing it out. Not to mention setting up a rail or something at the bottom to do. I was just trying to see if anybody has tried it and could save me the effort.
 
it should work. People are saying wet it...don't. It works dry. skoganskier101 and I have had a couple times skiing on pine straw. for just an in run, you should be ok. actually skiing and turning on pine straw requires a lot of it. It will work well dry. It doens't hurt your skis that much either unless you hit a rock.

Are you talking about pine straw, the long needles, or like small needles from like a christmas tree, fraiser fir, whatever?
