Just wondering if anyone has come up with a decent do it yourself ramp?

It seems loading is the hardest part of my day!

This has been working great all year, it's the easiest and cheapest setup Ive seen out of evryones ideas..

Ramp is a trifold with one side removed, I would use a 8 footer next time though, get a sheet of light gauge aluminium cut to fill in under the ski runner material, get some ski runners and cut notches across it about 1/4" deep every 2 inches with a dato blade on a table saw . You only need one runner with the new skis, I built this when I had a 4 runner snow hawk ski. The ski will slide up the runner and the track grips it really well. I had to add a piece of 2" angle on the outside of the ramp for the dolly wheels.

Dolly is 2 16" pieces of aluminum 4" or 5" channel, 5/8 all tread for axles and 4 wheelbarrow tires...pretty simple. I used 10" wheels, but I would do 8" ones next time that are solid...not pneumatic and narrower, these have a lot of drag on the shop floor...but the do work good in the snow and gravel and whatnot.
