Look carefully at the engines and you will see the contrail is originating from the engine exhausts, NOT snow blown up from the run-way. That is why the plane continues to produce a substantial contrail once airborne. It is not coming from the skids but the engines which are generating more than a gallon of water out the exhaust for each gallon of fuel burnt.

According to wiki, the LC-130 has fully retractable skis, for landings on both snow/ice, and normal runways.
