pull up your legs. take your hand, and grab your ski. right underneath your boot is probably the easiest. (saftey) Just try it on a straight air

any size, I started on medium ones, gives you time to hold the grab. I did grabs way before I was doing spins. It just seems natural. Safetys are pretty easy but tails seem easier for me sometimes.

try on the biggest jump that you feel really comfortable on. the more air the easier it will be to learn, but if you are uncomfortable in the air its gonna be hard to learn.
