Alpine snow skis are typically made of a combination of materials such as wood, fiberglass, metal, and plastic. The core of the ski is usually made of wood for stability and responsiveness, while layers of fiberglass and metal provide strength and durability. The top layer is often a plastic or composite material for protection and aesthetics.
Snow shoes, skis, or if daytime thaw has created a strong crust on the snow.
People ride on snow with snowboards, skis, snowmobiles, and sleds.
Yes, skis are designed to distribute the skier's weight over a small area to create high pressure on the snow. This pressure melts a thin layer of snow to reduce friction and allows the skis to glide smoothly.
That could be cross country skis.
Snowboarders wax their skis to reduce friction and improve glide on the snow. Waxing also helps protect the base of the skis and prolong their lifespan. Different types of wax can be used depending on the snow conditions to optimize performance.
usually anywhere you can buy atomic alpine skis

Snow + Ancient Footware = Skis
Skis and snowshoes spread a person's weight out so that they do not sink.
Powder skis are a special type of ski made for deep snow. They are typically much wider than a normal ski and also oftenly have "twin-tips".
My friends and i call them BLADES! Their sometimes called snow skates. You usually get made fun of if you are caught wearing them

Most likely because there is a bigger chance that you will fall out of your skis while skiing alpine. Also in Cross Country technique sometimes you need to lift up your heel.
snowboards are differnet from skis because skis have 2 skis and a snowboard only has one thing that you stand on.
Alpine skiing is a sport where you travel to a mountain that has snow and you use specialised hard boots, called ski boots, which attach to skis, long planks of wood, carbon or various other materials, by bindings. You slide down the snow covered hill on your skis. If you want to learn how to ski, I would highly recommend taking lessons. There is a whole technique to skiing properly and if you learn correctly, you are much less likely to hurt yourself or other people.
