We use weighted tarp bags to deploy in between the regular runway flags when contrast is poor. The trick is to have something simple and quickly deployable that can be picked up and stowed away when not required. As the wiki article mentions, the key to operating the runway is snow management and anything that gets left out causes snow to drift behind and creates a lot of work in snow clearing when the weather clears up again.
