traffic cone alternatives?

I have a friend that for his senior project he fixed up a 78 mercedes 300CD(with a great deal of my help) to at least a running,reliable,daily driver status.He has been driving it for a year,but he is not really an enthusiast when it comes to spending time behind the wheel. With the way the weather looks to be shaping up it looks like we could be getting alot of snowfall around here this winter.With as much time and effort I have invested in the car I would hate to see it in a ditch the first snow storm.Although to be fair he could probably drive it through a house with nothing more than a scratch.Still though I would like to head up to gravel parking lot up in the woods(doesn't everyone know where one of those is) to have him practice hard stops, emergency lane changes, and skid recovery in a reasonably controlled environment.Not enough for him to become a rally driver by any stretch of the imagination  but just enough that he doesn't wreck it when "drive slow,and leave plenty of stopping distance" fails him.Problem is traffic cones are damned expensive,and I was just wondering if you guys could recommend something that would be cheap enough to get lots of and flimsy enough to break lots of them with no damage to the car?
