The video shows the skis before and after a roughly two-foot heavy wet snowfall, evaluating whether they prevent the blower from digging into gravel. Light on tractor or blower specs, but useful for gravel-driveway owners wrestling with the same scraping problem.

Yes, the video shows the skis riding on top of the snow, keeping the blower an inch or two above the gravel instead of digging in.
They performed flawlessly, did not bend at all, and held up well to the force of being pushed into drifts and snow.
Factory skid shoes are small and designed for concrete or asphalt, which causes problems on gravel and muddy roads common in spring storms.
