Need some help:

Well as the title says, I need to build a drop in for this winter since I wont be able to make it to the mountain as much as I'd like to.

Here are some things I need the drop in to do or not to do:

I need it to be relatively small, easy enough to where I can transport it without much of a hassle.

I need it to had some what cheap materials to build and also easy to build.

Pictures of examples would be great, hell even if you have videos that'd be great. Anything will help.

++K for all the help.

a pile of snow works, or you can build it out of wood pallets with that plastic fence shit as a ramp in.

make sure you spray your turf with water with dish soap for the extra boost if your using turf

DO NOT BUILD THE DROP TOO STEEP, yeah my brother had a nasty accident with a super sketchy drop-in we built that was way too steep.

mine is 50-55 degrees for about 10 feet and i have no problem with it, first hit is scary but you get used to it. i wouldn't go any higher than that tho. also don't expect to be goin switch on it if it's that steep
