Lean farther forward. Just keep working at it, but just like you, 99% of people lean way to far back when starting to learn to slide boxes.

I find it easier to learn by starting off 50/50 then sliding 90 instead of just hopping on 90 right away. Helps you gets the balance down easier without having to worry about spinning yet

Put weight on your front foot, have your skis shoulder width apart or more.

get a backyard setup or hike a box at your mountain and just widen that stance and put more weight on your front foot

lean forward. don't kick your legs out in front of you so they're sideways because you're being a scared little bitch
