You are missing something
I use mine every night to dry off the boots after skiing. My previous pair of boots were incredibly difficult to get on when cold, but much easier when warmed/dryed over night. I was advised not to use the hotel hot air dryers as they could potentially damage my Zipfit liner.
Also very handy if driving and putting on boots in a cold car park! |
If there isn't a heated boot rack, I always bring the boots to the room, place them near the heat source, warm in the morning, the car keeps them warm if driving to the first lift, I usually take the boots out of their bag when we arrive and they don't see it again till we are flying home.

Dont't do what a friend of mine did and put them too close to a woodburner and melt a hole in the shell.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@ster, pfft, nothing one of our resident boot-shamen can't fix.
Is Ski Bunnies still going? Maybe you could get him a voucher?

Nah, he looks at the same triptych that I do on the dinning room wall! Well, unless he's planning on sneaking off boarding sans famille this winter, in which case I'd better have a chat with him!

Oh I did that with my husbands hard hat ( showjumping velvet) it was all damp so I put it in the bottom of the stove ( the warming oven) forgot about it till I got the smell, it melted into a flat disk, (war ensued)

Have a quick look online, search Ski gondola Christmas tree decoration. I've just bought one for a friend and it's so good I had to get myself one!

Hemel do a brilliant "board in a day course" I'd recommend.
Not sure if @Admin, still does them, but a Snowheads Calendar? Actually @Admin are you still doing them? Can I have one?
I wouldn't buy him boot heaters if he's got fitted booties.
Heated insoles, ResQ ski device, , snowboard multi tool, Sticks of P-Tex, avalanche Shovel, probe, Merino ski socks or T-shirts, whistle (for tree-skiing/cat-skjiing in Canada) are all pressies I've loved to receive.
