I'm wondering if it would be possible to use a lawn roller for packing snow to make a nice smooth hard surface for sledding? If it was filled up all the way, then it would be too heavy (and would sink down too much plus be impossible to pull up the hill). But, if it was only filled up part way (how much would have to be determined by experiment), then maybe it would work. I used my tractor last year to pack it down by just driving up and down the hill. It packed it down pretty good and improved the sledding quite a bit, but it would be better without the lug marks, plus it took a long time because I could only do a little at a time.
What could I fill it with that won't freeze and won't corrode a metal roller, but also won't do any damage to the soil and plant life if I drain it out on the ground?
