Long flat skis are used when skiing on ice because they reduce the pressure exerted on the ice as they have a large surface area, which means that the skis have a large area of contact with the ice.
The skis are long to allow the skier to glide along and prevent him/her from falling into the ice; They are also flat to distribute the weight of the skier more evenly over the ice.
