i spin left, but when i ski switch, its much easier to look over my right shoulder. spinning left while switch scares the shit out of me, even though i spin left normally

I always had that problem.

Basically just practise. You should be able to ski switch looking over either shoulder. You can just learn that by skiing switch a ton and forcing the look over your uncomfortable shoulder.

When I fixed this in my skiing, I simply forced myself to ski blue runs backwards top to bottom for an hour each time I went skiing.

Just practice on both sides constantly, pretty soon you'll have both sides down.

Don't worry I had pretty much this exact same problem, I never realized I shouldn't be spinning right while switch cause it'd be unnatural then one day I tried a red switch three and it's so much easier just try it. And for the spinning unnatural better it's probably you just spot differently while spinning left. Get someone to take vids of you spinning both rightside and leftside and see what you can do to fix it.

consider it a blessing.

I was the same way on rails. I learnt right foot forward and got comfortable with that. but I found I stopped progressing. Then i switched to left foot forward and it felt so fresh and awesome. started learning tricks way faster and progressed a ton. now I can ride rails equally comfortably left or right foot first. though i consider myself naturally left foot first. same would apply to jumps for you i believe. So switch it up and in 1-2 seasons you can spin both ways comfortably!!
