So the air bag is going up this week at my local mountain and I'm pretty comfortable flipping a backflip on the trampoline and I can do them into the pool and get all the way around, but I'm never done one on flat. I can do 3s pretty good and just got 5s and I've tried some front flips with a sloppy land (this is my first year skiing) so I'm not that great yet. Anyways, I want to try a backflip into the airbag while I get the chance. I feel I can do it easily mentally but I'm still a little nervous for some reason even though it's into the bag so does anyone have any tips for doing it into the bag and then taking it to snow?

100% commitment on skis if you can already do a backflip (pool, cliff, tramp, or flat ground)

My mountain rented a airbag for a weekend and it's the last time they will too, let me just set the scene, so our mountain gets airbag people a room at motel 6, so they are already pissed off, and they decide to ban all backflips into the airbag which is super gay, I was just a wee lad that wanted to be one of the flippers and such but it was quite difficult because these guys were restricting us. So anyways that's that. My friend who is one of those flippers throws a rodeo something something and his skis land straight into the bad poking a hole. It was a pretty shitty thing to go on. I don't know, nobody gives a shit just thought it would be neat for NS to know.

I just got my first backflip 4 days ago, and i was in the exact same situation as you. Just do it into snow. Find a big enough jump. Have your friends pump you up, and get the adrenaline thumpin, then dont be a pussy, and just huck it and you will get around! good luck, thats what i did!
