i find its best to do a real shallow and quick carve to keep control so you don't end up 'checking' for stability and losing all your speed (especially on those awful flat traverses where it slants slightly downhill and if you don't turn you'll find yourself pulled toward the edge) i also use the manual technique frequently (riding the tail)like snowolf said, especially if it is flat with a little uphill section and i need every ounce of speed. and of course....ride FASTER into it.
