I ski and snowboard and i actually think that Snowboarding is better then skiing. True skiing is faster then snowboarding, so all-time skiers can just stop pointing that out, we know. But snowboarding requires more skill (not saying skiing doesnt require alot of skill because it does) and the tricks are cooler and i personally think its more fun.
Back to when i said snowboardings harder then skiing. Which is true when your first learning because skiing is easier to turn. But once you get to a moderate skill level they are about equal in difficulty but once you get to be more advanced i believe snowboarding is harder(being advanced in both sports)
SKIING IS STILL AWSOME! DONT GET ME WRONG I JUST THINK SNOWBOARDINGS BETTER.
I hope this helped.

Weight is distributed over a larger area, so the skis tend not to sink into the snow as much as wheels would. If and when the skis do 'sink' (into powder, for example) their design makes it easier to guide them toward the surface of the snow. Also, the longer the skis, the faster you can travel on them.
Because ski's are flat, they skid along the snow's surface. But wheels can get stuck under snow.

snowboards are differnet from skis because skis have 2 skis and a snowboard only has one thing that you stand on.
Is there less friction if snow skies have a large surface area?
Yes, snow skis with a larger surface area can reduce friction by distributing the skier's weight more evenly across the snow. This allows for better gliding and maneuverability on the snow.
