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

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.

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

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.
