One of JBotti's orignal assessments characterizations of the Ullr's Chariot was that it would "ski short".  What does that term mean?

--- especially when the reviews (not that many) emphasize the stability of the UC in lots of different surface conditions?  Stability is often one of the things that is gained by going to a longer ski, short turns from a shorter ski (slalom vs. gs for example).  More total surface area and therefore more float would be another thing gained from a longer ski?

I know when I rented Mojo 90's in Park City a couple of years ago, I didn't like the way they felt; they looked short because of where the bindings were mounted, but now that I think about it they didn't really feel short, they just felt unstable and not balanced right.  And I don't even remember their length.
