Either I mistake your shape and making quite,
Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite
Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he
That frights the maidens of the villagery;
Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern
And bootless make the breathless housewife churn;
And sometime make the drink to bear no barm;
Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm?
Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are not you he?

and he'll have boarded it by the time you air out.

Im guessing its a quarter pipe with puck board. puck board being HDPE, like the stuff on boxes.

it's been done and it's a huuuge fail unless you copy the exact transition of a zaugg or other pipe cutter.

I was thinking more of like the puckboard you would use on your driveway to simulate ice and shooting into the net with the puck on top of it.

My hill has one. They suck if you have longer skis b/c of the short tranny.
