Those short skis are the older version of the hunting skis (design is in the hundreds of years old). They later developed into longer skis which will make you faster in the deep snow forest hunting as they don't dig as much into the snow. Both variations evolved in the arctic borealis nomad cultures. You can see the newer hunting skis here, currently they are only produced one place (Østergren) and only about 100-200 pairs per year so waiting lists can be years and years (I borrow mine):

Neither of the above skis are suited for the mountains. You need more control, strenght and grip there.
