Are you hitting the same jump. If not, a different jump might be more or less poppy so you need to compensate accordingly.

Yea, just straight air the jump a bunch and get a feel for the air time and where you are and try some grabs and look behind you to get an idea for being blindside.

And remember to pop foward of the lip to compensate for the angle of the jump so your flat in the air.

Oh you said 4 or 5 years, i read too fast and thought I saw 4 or 5 days. 

Thats really wierd then.  Have you not been throwing 3's and only bigger spins that past few years?

spin faster. sounds weird but when i had trouble with mine a couple of years ago i just had to spin faster and then slow down for the landing, which gives you more time

Sack up, no one can really tell you how to gain the confidence, you just need to commit.

1rst 3 I ever did : Broke my binding
2nd : Skied into the chairlift pole
3rd : Fractured my wrist

Needless to say, me and 3's don't mix.

i rotate to 540 easier than 360.  i haven't done a 3 in so long because 5s are just so much easier for me, but if i really made the effort i think i could slow it down to a 3.
