is it even possible to slide wood rails on skis? seems like you would catch an edge instantly.

You just have to angle your ski more when you slide it. Watch LTC's latest episode.

Make sure you only hit wooden features on cold days when the wood is hard, if you hit them on warm days the wood seems to be a lot softer and is much easier to catch an edge.

alright so it probably isnt a good idea to hit one at killington tomorrow with a high of 40 degrees.

I have found it to be easier than expected. Definitely anticipate some resistance.
