I'm curious how much artificial grass compares to real snow? Half as fast?

It all depends on how wet it is and how steep u make the run in. If there’s no water u stop almost immediately after the steep part

I built a jib a while ago and the turf was very slow. It needed to be completely wet, and even then I had to cover it with that orange construction barrier material to get a good slide. Worked alright, but definitely slower than snow
