20 footers are good. No run up with your skis hanging over the edge.

5-10 feet for your first time. Tips: Don't land or rocks and you'll be good. I'm very serious. Make sure it's a good landing and just huck a few and you'll get good at them.

Cliffs are fun. Just hop off of whatever you have.

About 50 or so ft. double stagers would be good.

ya i started with just like little 5 footers off boulders and stuff and just keep stepping it up, im on the east coast so i cant hit that big of cliffs because theres no pow and its really hard to find them with a good landing anyways. I just did like a 25 footer the other day and that was prolly my biggest. Big for me especially since im only 5' 1", so its like 5x my height

are you supposed to pop off cliffs or just kind of glide off?

i just kind of glide off and unless you have reaaally good landing you dont want much speed going into it either. I usually just stand at the top and hop off

anything bigger then 10 for your first time is a bad idea. trust me 10feet is bigger then it sounds. after 20 feet it isnt about skill its about balls

Definitely take some speed into it so you dont catch on the rock itself especailly if it goes outward. if you are throwing a spin off the rock that is more then a little three, it is definitely necessarry to get a decent pop, but you can float 3's and 180's off without popping too much

push yourself with it but make sure the landing is good. Make sure you don't land forward either or you can tomohawk for a very long ways
