Mike, using Johns method whether your on long or short skis, doesn't matter. The reason is because there's no hard carving. As long as the skis are NOT race vertified stiff. It's what's underfoot, under the boot that helps makes things easier.

Last year in JH I skied with John on my SS....with their narrow 66 underfoot, drifting and soft edging can be a bit twitchy cause the sidecut wants the skis to turn. It's doable but the pilot has to be more soft footed. Once you find you can shape turns with out hard edges, it won't matter what ski width or length you're on.

I played in the bumps with my twin tips, 90 underfoot and using CSM drifting and soft edges, it was a blast ans speed managemnet was a breeze.

Hope that helps,
G
