You should try to shape it as good as you can,and depending on the weather,bring salt or water. Salt freezes snow if it's warm, and water..well, that's not a secret.

when snow wasnt packable we would just let it freeze first,

if u really cant shape it, put playwood on buckets to make a slope and put a lot of snow under and above the plywood. thats an easy way. and also, after a while, you can take off the plywood and it makes a mold.

sometimes when im running water to wash dishes or something, i think about how lucky i am to have such simple access to running water and how some people will never know such a simple pleasure.

then i let it run for awhile, just because i can.

get a big ass pile of snow, larger than you think you need. Pile it in the general shape that you want. Then pack it as well as you can and if you can get the salt that they use for driveways and stuff, dump some of that in there to harden it up. If not, just jump on it alot, and keep piling on snow. And make it really wide so that if any of your snowboarding friends come along and decide to spin off it they dont take out half the lif carving a cork 270 to death

If the snow is light, you need to dig deeper into the pack, to the compressed snow further down. Cut out blocks and use them for your foundation. That's how the guys in Utah do it.

just pile snow and put more lip for air and go bigger and higher.
