Your going to want to cover the rails on your ramp with super glides the best you can to cover the gaps. My buddy has a similar set up and it was a massive pain in the behind to get my bike up and down his ramp. The skag under my ski caught on every single rail and I dropped it off the ramp pulling it down.

Is his ramp not covered w the super glides therefore allowing the slag to get caught on the rails? I'm wondering how bad it would be if the right 2/3 are super glides and the left 1/3 the regular ladder to help walk the bike up?
Another option if people like the Spine ramp is to have one custom made for my deck. Is anyone using one of these presently? Would this be a better option?
May need to sell deck and just get a trailer for when I go sled....really want to minimize the cost though between these options.

I saw a setup like this in the pilot creek parking lot in cooke last weekend. Looks like it worked great.

I just used a small atv winch. Got one in edmonton with a wireless remote and synthetic cable for under $200. Just bolted it onto the front. Works great.
Riding it up ain't that bad either if you have a good run in.
I get a good run in and then just coast up the ramp. Maybe even drag the brakes a bit. Most of the shenanigans on sled decks happen when guys wait till there on the ramp to get traction it seems to me
