Its simple just take the side veiw of the jump you want and cut it out of 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch ply wood then take 2x4's and run them across and cut out the top peice out of 1/4. sorry if its confuseing.

I stack logs under the end of the carpet strip I use for a run in, real sketchy but works

well if you are going to use wood make sure that you put turf or carpet on it so the snow sticks to it otherwise the snow justt slides off..
but the best alternative is making a jump out of dirt. I have done that and it workds great cause you can very easily adjust it to your liking if you screw up.
That is what i have done hope it helps

Unless its winter, then you need a blowtorch or something to that affect, or an ice chisel

my friend and i just put down some logs and put a piece of plywood over them and cover it with snow. It's simple and it works fine.
