So, I know its depressing, but I was thinking ahead and how miserable I'll be when I can't ski. I was wondering if there is any way to build a dry land jib and able to ski on?

Perhaps, a lonngggggggg (50 yards) of carpet, with a jib down the hill. Wet the carpet, and PERHAPS able to ride. I don't know. Anyone got any ideas?

Didn't get anything, except some kids jibbing.

But thanks for a great answer?

it costs more, but new zealand is a decent "summer jib" and it takes out the whole DIY part

totally possible. i have one, and several of my friends do. just use indoor/outdoor carpet AKA astroturf, and it works pretty well. but if you can, make the in run as short and steep as possible because you cant edge at all on it, i.e. more time on carpet, more chance to mess up, good luck bro!
