yes, build a jib is awesome for drop ins, because many people have made them for summer set ups and urban setups and you'll easily find the information you'll need to build a portable yet effective drop in.

This is a pretty sweet site that shows you how to make a portable drop in so you can just toss it in your truck while scouting out spots. My friends and I made one last week and it works super well.

get 2 pressure treat 2x4x12' and 3/4"pvc with 3/4" wood dowels and a one inch spade bit, on each 2x4 drill a hole 6" in and then every 13" right in the center speed squared are the shit fyi, then the hard part

you put the ovc in the holes they are very snug so do one side first then put the dowels in the pcv and screw on the top side of the 2x4 and lock in the dowel and the pvc to the wood

i had trouble with the other side since it such a snug fit, i used 3 ratchet straps and a rubber mallet, then you bet the fuck out if it until you get the pcv to the other side of the 2x4 screw that side in and you should have a pvc ladder looking thing, now the gaps are freaking looking to people but legit as shit i use one for my summer setup, i will give you a link to my video, not the best but it will give you an insight on how i did it

i build one this year in like an hour with my buddy this winter.

kinda built it like an opening ladder. with 2x4s going down each side. make the one side longer and the spaces not much bigger than 16 inches.

connected the top with a screw in each side ( one side fit inside the other)

then about have way down across both cut a leash and screwed in into each peice across so it would shot once opened to a certain point

the top was like the two 2x4a spaced 16 inches or so with it open, with holes in between but it was easy to put skis on and pretty quick

on the bottom attach longer 2x4s so it wont fall over obviously. but it forlded up and worked great for me
