Replying to XL jump tips

M.Freeman:
So this is pretty much my first season skiing in quite some time (tried skiing when i was 7, then snowboarded for many years and switched back to skiing about a year ago only to get a few months in), I'm a fairly strong skiier out of the park and can do all the runs at my mountain with ease. I'm able to hit some rails and 90% of boxes/flat top rails as well as smaller sized jumps.


I'm having trouble just nutting up and commiting to the XL jumps (40"-50" tall from ground to lip), partly because I'm clueless on what to do once you commit to the jump, worst possible outcome would be to land back seat or over shoot, those thoughts are stopping me from just hitting it.

If anyone could spare a couple of tips and tricks on how to just straight air without destroying yourself i would appreciate it.
