Front or back?

So I'm new to skiing this is my first year and it's going pretty well I hVe 360s very consistantly and yesterday I went of to try a frontflip which turned out to be a success, it was sloppy but it was a land. I did it off a 3.5 foot jump I build on a hill and I must say that it felt a lot different that doing it into a pool or on the trampoline. It felt really unnatural and it felt like I didn't have a fluent rotation. So my question is what feels better or more natural to you a frontflip or a backflip? I've yet to try a backflip so I'm not really sure what it feels like but I see a lot more people doing backflips so and less people doing front flips so what feels better?

I can do backflips into pools and on the trampoline though.

Haha I'm surprised you even needed to ask this question. Just think about it, frontflips you go against the lip, backflips you go with the lip.

If you have a poppy jump it's gotta be one of the most effortless tricks there is.

I did my first backy after tossing a pretty inverted flatspin this past snowday. Theyre easy as hell, people who can do both usually tells me backflips are easier to do.
