ok so I have been skiing park for 2 months now and when ever I 5 and 7 I always spin on the lip of the jump and I do it alot, not carve but spin, should I be carving or should I just wait longer.
 
i used to have the same problem as you. and yeah just wait a little longer, till about half your ski is off the lip to pop and then a little longer after that to make sure your whole ski has cleared the lip so you dont catch
 
I had the same problem in the beginning of the season (this is my first year skiing park as well.) I actually find it easier to spin off the lip when going into a bigger spin like a 7 or whenever I try a 9(still can't get those)But that's just me.
 
yeah you basically want to be popping and setting your spin when the lip is right under your boot. that way you can pop and it won't set you off balance
 
wait a bit longer and open your legs to have more spin..use your head..maybe try to spin stronger..body will follow your head..but pop just when half skiis is of the lip..

Hope will help..
