what is snow fencing?

 

[Fujative421]

Snow fencing is the orange fencing on some trails that keeps people from skiing off the trail. Usually beginner trails.

 

[andrewg]

oh what do you need it for?

 

[Fujative421]

summer skiing...i hear skis can slide on it

 

[andrewg]

oh i see. i also heard that atro turf works nicely for summer setups.

 

[Travapple.]

where would you get some astroturf?

 

[andrewg]

you can find astroturf at many hardwear/home improvment stores. Ive seen it at Lowe's before.

 

[Travapple.]

wht about home depot?

 

[andrewg]

yeah they probably carry it aswell

snow fence would be cheaper im guessing, does it work as well?

 

[Download-My-Apps]

work as well as astro turf i mean

well, snow fencing is uglier, probably provides a more slippery surface but its less stable and edging on it would just fuck you. Astroturf while slower and requiring watering/soaping allows for some edging, stays in place, and doesnt have a bunch of holes in it to grab at your tips and such.

if you have the money i wuold go with astroturf - or get a little bit of both to test for yourself before spending alot and committing to something.

well I think I might try to score some free fencing from the hill and if it doesnt work, ill invest in some turf

 

[DietCoke]

are you talking about the plastic kind of snow fencing thats like a solid sheet, or the rope kind. i dont see how the rope kind would do anything

 

[lyndon]

ya, i wanna make a setup as well...

 

[garrett.]

ok, so this snow fencing is the stuff they use at ski resorts and places? and its not like some other weird shit?

 

[monkeysteez]

snow fencing works, just make sure you have it secured tightly to the ground. slides real well if you put some water on it.

 

[396222687862]

how do you secure it? like concrete blocks or sumthin?

[lsquared]

i staked it to the ground. you wanna make sure it doesn't go anywhere.

what i did was got some cheap astroturf from menards for 27 cents a square foot and then stole fencing from a construction site near my house. The turf gives you a good base off the ground and some grip while the snow fence makes it so i can hit urban without having to bring soap and water.
