Replying to Need help Tokyo Drifting onto a small cannon rail

So I'm usually in the progression park since I ride with my 12 year old brother most days (also I just started skiing again so I'm relearning a lot of stuff). There's a tiny cannon rail just shoved into the snow in this park and I'd like to relearn Tokyo Drifts onto rails with it. The only thing is it's super super short and fairly steep so I have a major fear of slipping out and having this rail stab me in the back. I guess I'm also confused as to what I do with my body/legs. Due to the size my lead foot will be leaving the rail super early.

I'm assuming this means I have to go extra fast?

When do I put pressure on my front foot? Right when it goes from snow to rail or should I wait until my rear foot is on said rail?

When Tokyo Drifting should I attempt to slide with my skis flat on the ground or should I be on my edges like a hockey stop?

Any other advice other than just send it? I plan on sending it, I just want to have a basic idea of how not to get shanked by this sketchy snowboard feature.

EDIT: Shoutout to whoever the guys yelling stuff at me from the chairlift when I was checking how well it would slide last Sunday (Granite Peak). I have no idea what you said but you looked like you were a park skiers so I'm assuming you are on here.

Thanks!
