Skiing tricks compared to Diving

I'm relatively new to skiing park and the only tricks I know are 360's basic on/off rails and how to work switch. I don't get out skiing much but I dive for my school. How well do the diving skills transfer towards skiing, I can do a reverse double off of a 1 meter (ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xNi7XfX91Q) and a backflip seems like basically the same thing but off of a jump. My problem is I dont have access to powder, an airbag, or a water ramp (ice coast) so I'm not sure if there is any way to practice without doing it.

I’m not an expert on diving, but that video looked like a single instead of a double

I feel like most ice coast skiers don't get the chance to practice on pow/air bag. Most people practice on a trampoline I reckon and then just fuckin send it one day. You should be fine to just give 'er a go if your used to flipping and stuff. Let us know how it goes

As far as flips it definitely relates. If you know how to flip, especially doing a reverse to have the feel of the forward motion, you should be find. Most people just learn them by finding a jump one day, saying yolo, and sending it.

Didn't the east coast just get a ton of snow in the last few days? Now might be the time to try it.

If you can gainer off a board, you'll land your first backflip. The biggest problem with backflipping is commitment. If you commit, they're easier than 360s.
