work on your pop. just stand on flat ground with your skis on and work on jumping so your skis come up and down evenly. just take some groomer runs and work on a good solid pop off every roller you come too, and land centered and balanced. then take the same pop off bigger jumps and you'll have no problems.

Also make sure you're not leaning back as you go off the jump. If you're feeling a bit scared of a jump, you'll have the tendency to lean back. This puts you out of control in the air. Before you take off you want to have your shoulders centered over your feet and you should feel your shins pushing on the front of your boots.

unbalanced in an inrun could be a number of problems:
1. lack of skiing experience. A lack of experience and technique gives you a bad position anytime. On a bad position, turning, stopping and popping is compromised. Solution: take ski lessons.
2.sitting back on your skis. When your sitting back, your center of gravity changes. This change will throw you off balance when the snow plain angle changes. Solution, ski with your hands forward. This will force you in the center of your skis and stabilize you on the kick.
3. Lack of "pop" The pop, when correctly done helps you regain control of your angle of axis. In other you will become horizontal, then forward for the landing. As a bonus it avoid catching an edge on the lip. To pop, keep your weight forward, knees slightly bent and on the lip of the jump, extend your knees like a hop.
good luck
