I was a Crater Lake Ski Patroller for 12 years. I took my pickup camper up there. Studded tires all around.
For a few years I didn't have the slide topper. I tried covering it with a plastic tarp. It stuck to the ice. I ended up taking tea pots of hot water to melt off the ice after shoveling the upper portion off. That sucked and was dangerous.
I chatted with other campers here on the forum. That said they did not have any problems rolling in the slide. They were right.
I installed the topper and it did very good. Sometime when I would roll it in, the blob of snow would just hang there till it was sticking out about a foot before it would fall off.
I sprayed the complete slide and topper with a silicone spray. Nothing stuck to the topper, but sometimes I would have waterfall chunks of ice stuck to the sides of the slide that would come past the slide seals when I slid in the slide.
