Snowboard Slider Box Materials

I am building a 2' wide x 10' long box to slide in my back yard and wanted to know if anyone knew for sure what material the resorts are using for the top of the box between the steel rails?

I think it is a plexiglass sheet of some sort, I asked one of the Freestyle Ops guys and they said it was not a metal/tin sheet as I first though.

Anyone know? I should finish the box this weekend so I will post pics when I am done.

some places use stuff called puckboard.. its the same material that the boards of a hockey rink are lined with.

I used puckboard for my first wakeboard slider, the local rink was changing it so I had access to a whole hockey rink of it, there's still alot left so some more rails are in the plans

Built it this weekend, I used to work at Northstar so I checked with Gunny and they use plexiglas....

Picked some up and threw one together a sick 2' wide 10' log box. I will post pics when I get it finished
