backflips are soooo much easier, but fronts are less scary...if you decide a back, do a DEEP pow jump with a lot of kick...if you decide a front do a not-so-lippy jump....

i tried a front first. almost got all the way around. backs are kinda easy too. make sure you do have a lot of powder. i've seen some people almost stick them the first time, and other people who end up spinning 90 and thrusting the air while grunting...haha

i'd go with back but make sure your bindings are good. When i first learned them if i threw hard my skis would double eject on the lip and id finish my backflip without skis, land and then they would fly like 20feet past me, it sucks

Backflip, practice them on tramps first, you'll be more comfortable. find some nice pow, and make a pretty big jump, make sure the lip is nice and steep. go big or go home.

try a flair. it is easier to spot your landing.
