its because when you try to go big you want to try to make the landing, where as the small jumps the landing is a piece of cake. Also on bigger jumps you have to have a different rotation speed to readjust to the hang time this causes most people to wipe out. (including me)

Do you prefer to go snowboarding or skiing? And why?

It's all psychological... I had the same problem when I was learning them. If possible, you should film yourself doing them. I noticed that I was hesitating for a split second which was slowing my rotation down quite a bit. Hope this helps.
