how big is big? 30-40? yeah you will be fine. anything much bigger you may want to look at a longer, stiffer ski with early rise such as FR's or Halos.

alpha 1s look like they could work pretty well. early rise but a stiffer flex overall could be a good combo for you.
the problem is that as a ski gets more buttery and jibby on rails, its stability on large jump decreases. you kind of have to figure out what you want to sacrifice if you're going to do a lot of presses, stalls, jibbing in general and also large jumps. the early rise helps to overcome this by allowing a stiffer ski overall with slightly more give due to the early rise. however that's not to say that all early rise skis are god status or that they will work perfectly on 80 foot tables and also be able to easily press as hard as max hill.
