It sounds like a fairly high speed jump (to triple).  If so, turning in the air might not be a good option.  Turning in the air actually starts by turning / leaning / weighting on the jump face.  Landing while pointing other than straight is ok if it's not at much speed or if the landing surface is banked to match your intended direction.

Can you swing wide, then angle back inside so if/when you do triple you will be landing closer to the middle of the track?  Doing that might be OK for a practice time when it is not very crowded, but if crowded or in a race, people will likely cur underneath you in the turn and then jumping diagonally across the track would be dangerous.

If tripling puts you too far outside and too fast to make the turn, try merely doubling and cutting the inside of the turn as tight as possible.  You will shorten your distance travelled and still leave the outside open for someone who can triple and still make the turn.
