A person wearing long snowshoes can walk across a blanket of freshly fallen snow without sinking far into the snow because (p.s. Google snowshoe if you don't know how one looks like) snowshoes cover a larger area than a foot and so the pressure is reduced. the snowshoes reduce the force of the person on the snow. the large area of the snowshoe concentrates the force of the person to a point smaller than the foot. snowshoes push less dense snow out of the way so the person stands on more solid ice below
