Thanks Guy's for the advice, my old Nordica boots were spot on and very rarely leaked but they did have the oem lining, i am supprised this lining has a bad join along the top of it the snow getting between the liner and the boot is always going to happen but if there is a gap on the liner then the heat from your foot will melt the snow and make it wet inside the boot,i am just supprised that's all, my pals boots don't ' leak ' either

So how about this i purchased some new boots in the summer from a well know ski shop in the midlands, a pair of Lange boots and by the time they had used bespoke liners and other bits and bobs on the boots the final bill was £250 which i wasn't planning of spending that much but hey i thought comfort is paramount here, took them back for a adjustment as big toe was hurting any way off to Colorado we went and in the powder moisture was getting into the boot on investigation i had found that the liner didn't meet properly down the top of my foot hence the moisture, i phone the shop and the told me to bring them back ( 60 mile round trip )and i was shocked when the assistant said 'just put some duct tape over the join and all will be ok' well will i be going back there again i think not

We have just returned from Winter Park in Colorado a party of 10 which we did through American ski classics, we have always gone to Europe but took the plunge this year, cost was £840 for hotel flights and lift pass with transfers, ( 10 days )the resort was a little pricey but was ok, the runs and the snow was fantastic we are going to look at it again for next year. good luck
