Are you allowed to have small skis (yard long) as carry on items on a plane? Or are they forbidden?

If the screaners think that the small ski can be used as a weapon then - NO you can't take it. I tried to bring a similar thing on as carry on (a field-hockey type stick) and they took it away when I boarded. A guitar, or other similar sized thing is OK - but you have to worry about the weapon use onboard. Since it is questionable - ask when you check-in if it is OK or check it just to be safe.

Musical instruments I have seen and that makes sense cos they get damaged as checked baggage.
Sporting goods? Not sure about short skis but I always carry-on my travel fishing rod. Have done it on all the major airlines with no problem. It's a 3-piece and the container comes to just about a yard long.
Btw, security has never asked to open it.

I would think that the skis need to checked and can not be carried on the aircraft with you. The TSA does have a section dedicated to sporting goods and what you can and can not bring on the aircraft http://www.tsa.gov/ I would suggest you start looking there and if you can't get an answer there contact your airline directly.
Have a great flight!

The TSA site doesn't say anything about short skis, but almost all sporting goods that are equivalent are forbidden.

if they are only 3 feet I think you'll be ok, I saw this guy carry on 2 guitars those are a lot bigger.
