Check the resources tab on this site and then drop down to the tricks section and weed through all of the idiots posting shit, and find a couple of decent guides on 360's... or my personal little guide, which i've learned from experience just a couple of weeks ago.
Make sure you practice spinning before you get to the snow. You will find you usually jump now with your hips, and not with your head. But, when you practice, make sure you rotate your head hard in the direction of your spin and let that pull your hips and your body around. Now... when you are ready to hit the jump... do it on a decent sized jump as it becomes twice as easy that way... i would recommend 25ft if you have the juevos. Before you hit it doing a 3..do some straight airs or some grabs...maybe some 1's if you can do them. Then... get ready and make sure you have enough speed to clear it.. because realisticly the reason you will get fucked up really bad is if you do not hit it with enough speed... if you make sure you can get to the landing .. it will be a little scarier.. but you will reap the benefits. Anywho... so ... you have enough speed and you are approaching the jump... make sure you have a wide stance as that will help to level off your spin... make sure you have a nice tight middle... i.e. your abs, not killer flexed, but i find that when they are flexed you will have much more success, ok.. also as you approach the lip have your arms on the opposite side of your body in which you will be spinning, so you can throw them with your spin to help your rotation...now you are hitting the jump... you need to make sure that you 1. get off the lip without starting your spin, and then 2. that you POP OFF THE LIP. If you start your spin before you get off the lip.. you will go corked, and you can't handle that yet, and you will fall hard, so make sure you get off of that lip before you start your spin. Ok once you are passed that you want to make sure you pop off the lip, and roughly when the tips of your skis are off the lip, POP and throw your head most importantly.. in the direction you want to spin, and keep looking in the direction of your spin, also as you are throwing your head, throw your arms in the same direction. So at this point you should be in your spin, then the most important part is to keep looking over your shoulder in the direction of your spin, because if you stop looking, you will stop spinning, but when you see the landing of the jump again.. look at it, and spot your landing... then your feet and body will follow as long as you stay focused on the landing...then touch your feet down and ski off with some steezeness like it was nothing.. and just keep progressing... that's all there is to it... also if you fall.. get right back up again... do some tricks that get you pumped, and then....get on that chair lift go back up and throw it again. If you commit you will get it...
See it, Pop It, Throw It, Stick It ...
hope that helps....

Get to 270 and force it around?
Either you are doing 3s on real small jumps, or you dont know how to do slow rotations.
Just practice it man. The biggest thing you have to do to do you first three is just fucking do it. Half of it is getting the balls. The first time you do it, wind it up and get your momentum going. Look over the shoulder, it keeps the rotation moving. To slow the rotation (if you are gonna over rotate,) spread out your feet. Seriously though, search the forum cause there are hundreds of threads on doing goddamn 360s, and I'm getting sick of repeating myself.
We'll have you dead pretty soon.

P.S. Good luck dude. If you are a good skier tho, dun worry about it. It shouldnt give you many problems.
P.P.S. Thanks for the novel on how to do 360s, whoever you are. Damn.
P.P.P.S. The most important tip he gave was to pop off the lip. If you don't do that, you don't deserve to live.

o.. also...
Think about this.. and now it... practice it in your head , see it in your head... but as stupid as this sounds... don't think about it at any point after you start towards the jump, because if you over think yourself... you will fall too. Just know what you need to do before you go at the jump. Then when you take off for it, just do it without thinking about it, and throw it. The guide is to give you a good idea what to do when you throw it, and then if you don't have success, what to work on to make sure you do get success... hope that helps.

huckedmeat, r u pro? i landed a 3 first try too but guess what, no one cares
shitslam- if your advice for a 3 is to wind up and throw your arms, you obviously suck and really should read the 360 novel that you're making fun of
as for dan1080, to not get off balance, come in really stable and spin with your whole body, and DON'T throw your arms as the dipshit SBer said. and keep your body stable and compact, for a second as you take off and arent facing forward you may feel like you're gonna bail, just stay calm and youll be fine

the skis look like joints cuz they smoke the competition -crystalneedsapark
