So i'm pretty solid on the tramp, i can throw cork 9's even. and today i started taking em to the snow.
Spinning to the left. I was getting the 7 and all the way back straight, corking even but for some reason i would never come out upright i would land in cork on my right side and my feet never came back under me? any help?

hard to tell what's going wrong without a video, but i know i had problems throwing too much for the cork when i learned and it didnt come out correctly.
my advice is to set like your doing a normal, straight 7, but look back down at your tails as you set your rotation, this should be enough cork (at least for me it is), as sometimes thinking about the cork you'll set the rotation poorly.

you got 2 solid responses in that thread, and failed to even acknowledge either of us.
don't bitch about not getting feedback before letting the kids who tried to help know that their advice did or didn't work.
for those curious, my original advice:
coming uncorked isn't difficult at all, it's just tough to figure out for yourself how to do it.
here's what i do:
1. forget about spotting your landing during the first 360
2. figure out where you are in the air near 540
3. once you pass 540, bring your head around and spot for 7
4. after you have your landing spotted, reverse your shoulders. what i mean here is this:
assuming you're spinning left, your left shoulder should be dropped throughout. so once you spot your landing, reverse it and drop your right shoulder. lean forward, and make sure your hips follow.
an easy way to think about reversing your shoulders is to act like you're cracking your back. you know, that awkward swivel-and-back motion you make after some chick catches you checking her out in school. we've all been there.
hope that helps

hence the "not much" but there is no way of knowing if your feedback helped since i haven't been up skiing since and i just wanted some other opinions. everyone has a different learning style and your feedback (step 4) was confusing. but thanks for the effort.

I spin left, and I spot my landing once near 270, to my left. I am horizontal at that point, with my head nearer to the jump. I then arch my back and look for the landing again just before I come around at 720.
All times are Eastern (-5)
