yeah your good balance will give you a proper landing. I guess you should practice first your jumping ability then try to control your balance in mid-air.

If there too close then you will lose your balance, but if there to far apart you will lose style on the jump, so i would say shoulder width apart.

Wide stance is definate for freestyle, Close together is if you get got air from a jump and you wanna land it with no tricks (Like in racing)

Practice your balance by starting with short jumps and moving up to a larger ones gradually. If you can make it into the jump, holding your balance thru the air can easily be taught . Practice make more than perfect when it comes to a ski jump, it also makes for safety.

I keep my skis shoulder width apart, that way if I come off a jump and land hard, I don’t knee myself in the face, which happened to me before.
