basically look at the terrain and decide wat type of jump you want to build... whether it be a long lofty with little kick, or a shorter but higher amplitude one...

it basically works on the basics of physics which by the way i have never done... the the steeper the take off, the higher you will go but you will travel a shorter distence.

the best park jumps are usually curved so they slope gradually with a bit of kick at the end. its pretty much about finding a happy medium of height and lenght. its pretty hard to perfect it straight out..you need to constantly re-shape

step down jumps take less snow, because you only need to pile it where the jump is, and where the landing is. Killington uses them all over the place.

This is an ok jump...

But you know, you might want to go a tidbit larger if your really feeling like throwing down.

step over jumps are ideal, but if youre short on snow, just building up the landing makes a huge difference.

i think the jump they had open over christmass break at mt. st. louis was dialed.

the 1st alpine jump looks good.
the tranny for the jump should start lower then the knuckle of the landing. like a deep tranny in the jump makes it so much smoother. then a long steeper landing makes the jump that much safer.
its really not that hard, i dont see why so many resorts have problems shaping decent hits.
