Skis are long, narrow pieces of equipment used for gliding over snow. They are typically made from materials like wood, fiberglass, or carbon fiber and come in various lengths and widths to suit different types of skiing, such as alpine or cross-country. Skis are attached to ski boots with bindings, allowing the skier to control their movement on the snow.
When skiing, the skier uses their body weight and balance to steer and stop. Skiing is a popular winter sport enjoyed by many around the world, often taking place in mountainous regions with snow-covered slopes. Ski resorts provide facilities and trails for skiers of all skill levels.
