short skis
Abbreviated snow blades
Short skis are skis significantly shorter than traditional alpine skis, typically reaching only to the skier's chest or waist rather than above the head.
They're easier to maneuver and learn on, making them popular for beginners and freestyle tricks.
The term sometimes appears dismissively: He's on short skis can imply someone lacks skill or seriousness as a skier.
