Originally it was intended as an aid to travel in snowy regions, but they are now mainly used for recreational and sporting purposes. Also, a ski may denote a similar device used for purposes other than skiing, for example, for steering snowmobiles. Skis were usually wooden planks made from a single piece of wood, however, now they are made from a complex assembly of components including glass fiber, Kevlar, aluminum etc. Most skis are long and thin and curve upwards at the front to prevent digging into the snow.
