Build em just like you would a dirt jump. Two things to keep in mind. Ice and make sure it's packed well before and after the jump. Snow can trick you and allow your front tire to sink into it.......then comes endo time!!!
Build it on one of those days where the snow is tacky, but make sure and check it out before you ride it again to be sure it's safe, it's condition can change with temps and sunshine.
