How big of a drop in for my park (winter time)?

I already made a 6 foot drop in this summer for my summer stuff. It seems like it won't be fast enough in the winter for my features. I have two 1 foot high 8 foot long boxes combined to make a 16 foot long box. I also have a 1.5 foot high 12 foot long rail. In the winter I want to build a 10' gap/step down jump. I also will build a 20 foot option for tow ins. So on to my question. How much height should I add on to my 6 foot tall drop in? I'll take pictures of my stuff tomorrow.
 
the roll in is defintely faster in the winter cause you have snow and its much more slippery--i wouldn't worry about gettting speed--also you can use the snow as a way to make the inrun more smooth--making you also go faster
 
i made a 16 ft long one, and it is crazy for speed, to hols snow i just pu 2x4's, or 1x1's to hold snow in works great, and its not to steep, spent about 20 - 30 bucks on it.
 
yeah i got like 1/2 an inch of snow on my drop in and my ramp was over 2x's faster then just the orange fence and carpet but you will need a bigger dropin if your gonna build a jump after it
