Real world is not the same as FSX CS-C-130.   The FS9 version ski plane actually worked alot better on the ice.

I believe it's because the ground effects on the aircraft in FS9 are a lot better than they are in FSX. An aircraft on the ground (in FSX) is somewhat like being on ice, even though the ground surface should not be slippery. So put it on ice or water and...WHOA...it's very slippery.
