Cross country skis are longer, narrower and thinner than downhill skis. They are not designed for sharp maneuvering.
No matter what I tried to avoid the jump, I couldn't change my direction. The snow's icy crust was too thick. It happened so fast, it didn't occur to me to try to sit down and I'm not sure I could have. I was leaning forward to keep the weight of my backpack balanced.
