Skinny ski will work depending on attachment. Stickies skins are GTG. The extra length is just wrapped up over the tail of the ski. I like that, it makes removing the skin with skis on much easier.

I had a alpine touring rig (short wide ski) and Telemark (Longer skinny ski). I had wide skins and skinny skins. I did not like skins that was a wide as the ski, messes with the edges. Again the skins where mohair adhesive skins.
