Question

Skis have large area of contact with snow.​

Answer 1

Skis create a large contact area between the skier and the snow. Therefore, the weight of the skier—or how much gravity pulls on him—is spread out over a larger area. The skier presses less on each square inch of snow, and instead of sinking into it he or she can glide over it.
