What is a "ski"?
A ski is a long, narrow piece of equipment used for gliding over snow or water. In snow sports, skis are worn on the feet and attached to bindings, allowing the rider to slide down snowy slopes. They are designed to provide stability and control while turning or speeding down the mountain. In water sports, skis are used similarly, with the rider being pulled behind a boat across the water's surface. Skis come in different types depending on the sport, such as downhill, cross-country, or water skis, each designed to suit specific conditions and techniques.
