pvc pipes for the rails, a shitload of wood, some turf to ski on, nails, construction fence if you don't wanna use just turf.

Cool. And have you ever heard of or used mSnow? I just saw it but I dont want to buy it if just turf will work better

Build a jib cult. It helped me greatly in making mine. Also buy AstroTurf not fake grass they are very different.

That stuff is mad expensive, but If you have the money then I would definitely recommend it over astroturf. But yeah join Build-a-jib-101 cult, the top thread is a great tutorial for everything you need to know about the drop in. Look at other peoples drop ins and rails as well, in the "POST YOUR ______" threads to get more ideas.

you'll need to buy a snowmaker for that, and yes, they can be pretty expensive, it's not as practial either tho

I don't think you need a snowmaker for msnow. From there website, it looks like you just need to wax your skis and use it as is.
