Okay I'm looking for good ways to make a jump in my backyard. Need tips how to make a good one
 
the way most park crews do little jumps. is they get plywood boards and a bunch of 5 ft or larger stakes. they set up the boards on the back left and right sides of the jump to the width and length they want. they stick the stakes in the ground behind the boards to support the plywood, they just start throwing snow on the back board let it accumulate then start adding some in the front for the transition then carve it out (if you have cold temps and fluffy snow ur going to need about 3x the amount of snow than jump size, just keep packing it down (the boards allow for the snow to stay very strong without moving. also after your done take the boards off and spray water on the back and sides maybe even the surface (best way is to get water just above freezing or atleast as cold as possible drink some but dont swallow, then spray it out of your mouth, keep your lips tight so it mists other wise it will be just a stream of water and melt the jump) good luck nig
 
get a buttload of snow shape/pack it down alot. Then dump ALOT of water on it and it gets really really solid. Thats all i do and i have a rail in my front and a rail on the side of my house. Its really time consuming but really fun afterwards.
 
2 ways to do, pile up snow like crazy then pack, this works but your jump will look a bit like a pyramid at the end. The other way is to use 3 vertical boards in the shape of a rectangle with 1 side missing, and pile snow into these, this will make edges straight and jump even. This is a jump I built using second method

landing hasn't been finished in that pic yet, I usually hit it to flat a few times first to figure out where landing needs to be
