larger area of contact will mean larger area for the pressure to spread. and less force will be exerted per unit area of the snow. hence the snow will remain intact underneath keeping the ground stable

Skis have a large area of contact with snow to distribute the skier's weight over a larger surface area, which helps prevent sinking into the snow. This increased contact area also provides better stability and control, especially in variable snow conditions.
they are good for the snow because the help you keep balance and to go faster hope that helped

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.
We do not sink because the skis have a high surface area compared to our feet, therefore we would float on fresh snow.
People ride on snow with snowboards, skis, snowmobiles, and sleds.
Snow shoes, skis, or if daytime thaw has created a strong crust on the snow.
That could be cross country skis.
