Yep, a little longer ski will help. As mentioned, use a more skidded turn to be constantly scrubbing speed as you go down the run. Another thing to think about is working the top of your turns more. We loose speed both from skidding and also from traversing. Many people do not "complete their turns" and go into the next turn before they cross the fall line. This is a missed opportunity to slow down. By allow the skis to cross the fall line, you have a chance to really get a good turn established at the top of the new turn.
