And practice with a pack on.

And practice by dropping on you butt -head uphill , then dropping on your 
face head uphill.

When all those work fine, then, dive headfirst downhill, on your face and 
on your back, and try those too.

You'd be surprised how different they are.

Oh, yes! Almost forgot. Don't stab yourself with your axe.....
