It could be the skis themselves, im asuming your using rentals. I used to ski on a pair of Solomon teneighty's that were shorter (161's) and with any kind of speed they would start to flutter like that. When I got new skis (170's) I have yet to encounter a speed that my skis dont like. I think the extra length has is where most of the stability came from, but the better construction of the ski can't hurt either.

Someone else might have some advice on technique but I'm no instructor so I can't really help you in the area. My advice would be to rent some longer skis, so long as you can manewver just fine with the current skis.
