If you get nervous, scope it out first. Don't just go up to a cliff and jump off of it with a foot of run in and try for the form. It won't work.
You'll need speed. Keeps the flow of your skiing, and it is a lot easier to get proper form. When you do hit the cliff, pop a little, pull your knees up to towards your chest and keep your arms pointed forward. Spot your landing and prepare yourself. Do this by coming out of the ball you made yourself, extend your knees, don't be leaning too far back or too far forward, or else you can land back seat and have problems with the run out, or land too forwards and have problems with your knees or face hitting snow.
Lastly, land. Keep skiing out regularly, you'll have more speed coming out, keep control and keep skiing till you have met your buddies or done the run. Then look up at your glory.
