Try bringing your knees up when you start your rotation, it's much easier to cross and grab when you do this. Feel like your making an 'L' shape with your torso and your thighs. All you have to do is tweak your toes in a little bit and you got an cross with your skis.

wait until your spin is set then think about grabs/crosses when youre first trying to add stuff.

while everyone learns different, i'd say give this a shot:
before trying to cross or grab or anything, try bringing your legs up in the spin. simply try bending your knees, and being more conscious of your legs, from the hip down. remember that they're there. once you have your 360's very dialed, this will be easier. get them so you can do them in your sleep. then practice bringin your legs up. maybe a cross. but again, keep looking for your spin and landing, don't forget, the spin is more important. a safety grab would most likely be the easiest, first grab. you can also just try a tip cross, the easiest way being like this:
if you spin to your left, spin your right ski with your body, instead of spinning your body 'around your skis' so to speak. spin your right ski slightly faster so it simply glides over your left ski, and boom, you have a crossed up steeeeze.

Try doin' your threes kinda' crouched up in the air so you get rid of the pencil style. The reason for this is you will be more comfortable in a grabbed position and it won't be as far to grab.
