I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but it seems like you are asking how to build a rappel anchor in snow or ice.
In good ice I build a v-thread anchor. (Google Abalakov V thread for an explanation). If it is hard snow, then I chop a bollard. In soft snow, then I use a fluke or dead man a picket.
