Ski skis glide on snow
because downward pressure, as well as heat from surface
friction, melts a thin layer of snow directly under the ski.
This creates a very thin layer of water directly under the
ski upon which the ski glides. Ski wax is used to decrease
drag by increasing the water repellent properties of the
base.
Ski boots are specialized footwear that are used in skiing
to provide a way to attach the skier to skis using ski
bindings. This ski-boot-binding combination is used to
effectively transmit control inputs from the skier to the
snow.
Ski poles (sometimes called "stocks") are used by skiers to
improve balance, speed and acceleration.
In modern skiing one pole is held in each hand, and each
pole has a circular "basket" attache lose to the lower end
to prevent the pole sinking significantly into deep snow. At
the upper end of the pole a strap is attached, which is
normally slipped over the wrist to prevent the loss of the
pole in the event of a fall. When skiing the ackcountry (off
piste) in trees, the wrist strap is not normally used, since
there is a risk of wrist injury if the pole should catch on
an unseen branch or root. You can also ski without poles as
some freestyle skiers do.
