In snow I have found that getting my weight as far back as possible and trying to correct the weaving front wheel slowly (rather than reacting instantly) works best. Therefore long wheelbase, mtb style is better as mentioned above. Having weight over the front wheel means slides will be sudden and not correctable.
Tried to add something like this to my earlier answer, but could'nt explain myself. Absolutely spot on.
