Cat tracks are more for protecting your ski boots soles, rather than making walking easier. Essential if you have fitted boots.

Talk about fickle Iceman - they're the same thing!

I simply saw it as yours were for shoes, Trenchers were for boots :oops:

Sorry

If you buy someone something like that, you're implying that they don't know how to carry their skis properly. Your dad might like something that made getting his boots on a bit easier http://skisnowboardboothorn.com/index.html

Fairpoint - but does prevent trashing gloves on sharp edges :roll:

Just seen this advertised in Sunday Times!

Now that's useful.

Now I need something that will allow my socks to easily slide over the grippy custom footbed without pulling the socks too tight over my toes. I'm thinking a strip of ripstop nylon might slippery enough, and strong enough to be pulled out.

I bought one of those ski walkers at the Ski and board show. I hate carrying my skis, I get all hot and flustered so anything that makes it easier is fine by me. Will let you know how successful in about 90 days :D
