Skis don't sink in snow because of their wider surface area that distributes the skier's weight over a larger area, which creates more pressure and prevents them from sinking. Additionally, the design of ski bindings and boots help to keep the skier's weight evenly distributed on the skis to maintain buoyancy on the snow.
What else can I help you with?
Is waxing skiis an example of increasing friction intentionally?
Yes, waxing skis is an example of intentionally increasing friction. The wax creates a rough surface on the ski base that interacts with the snow, providing more grip and control when skiing downhill.
Why is it difficult to walk on snow?
What i think is, as there is less friction on a muddy road it is difficult to walk on it. Water has less friction, that is why usually we see cautions warning us not to walk on wet floor as we'll slip and fall, so when soil is in contact with water it reduces the friction of soil.
Name three things that sink and why they sink?
Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.
Does anorthite float or sink?
Anorthite has a specific gravity greater than 3, which means it is denser than water and will sink in it.
Do marbles sink or float?
Marbles are denser than water, so they will sink when placed in water.
What is snowmobiling?
It's like a motorbike with skiis and a tread and it goes on snow.
What kinds of technology are invented in the Polar region?

Why does feet sink into the snow as walked?
The snow is soft and our weight is concentrating on our feet so there is more pressure hense our feet sink in snow
Why do people sink in snow?
People can sink in snow because snow is made up of loosely packed snowflakes that can collapse under a person's weight, causing them to sink. This is more likely to happen in deep, powdery snow or snow that has a weak underlying layer.
Who has large and furry hind feet that do not sink into snow?

What equipment does alpine skiing use?
Skiis, ski poles, ski boots, snow pants, coat, mittens, ski helmet/ hat, ski gogles. :-)
Can ATVs go in snow?
no they wud sink
Why do not we skiers sink in fresh snow?
We do not sink because the skis have a high surface area compared to our feet, therefore we would float on fresh snow.
Why do not we skiers sink in the fresh snow?
We do not sink because the skis have a high surface area compared to our feet, therefore we would float on fresh snow.
How do you say skiis in spanish?

Why is it better in the snow to wear flat shoes than high heels?
