that I can land my triples fine on-ice, but have trouble practicing any jump off-ice? I always seem to get things on the ice first and then struggle with any sort of jump off it.

It is great that you can land jumps on the ice - especially triples. But, I'd be careful to keep doing your off ice anyways.
Off ice training is really important to developing ankle strength. When you jump, the ankle takes most of the stress. But when an ankle is kept in a stiff boot and is immobile, then the stress goes to other areas of the body, like knees and hips.
Also, if you are landing on ice, but not off ice, have you considered your momentum and speed as factors?
Overall, though, it really is neat that you can land those jumps on the ice!!
