either go to a hockey rink and snag some snow from the zamboni, or get astro turf and put water and soap on it, there are alot of threads on this though, so check them also, they will hel alot

^yep. you can also join the "build a jib"-101 cult

go to interact, then cults, then it should be a little bit down, but generally towards the top of the list. Message one of the leaders (in bold) and ask for an invite

thats snowfence, its slides pretty good and you can find it pretty much anywhere. and a ladder propped up on like garbage cans or something will do just fine as a drop it

Yo if you're really hard core, grab a skate and get a buddy to push you at the rail. Then when you get there just jump off onto the shit like you just came from the snow. We used to do this when we were jonesin for snow in whistler and set rails up accross ditches and shit so you could skate up to it, rail gap over the ditch, ride away on the grass. Good times!
