@thecramps, I take both when in doubt - though for me it is usually late March or into April when I have the same question going round in my head.

@thecramps, I always take walking boots and ski boots. Ski boots are essential and how do you get around the resort without walking boots in snow?

Just don't do what I did,
The easiest way to carry bulky walking boots is to wear them but they are a pain to take on & off through security & quite warm on the plane so I didn't bother fastening them & just tucked the laces inside. Fast forward to standing in Geneva Airport looking for my brother, when I see him, I go to walk but the hooks on said walking boots were having a bit of intercourse, locking my feet together and I go down like a falling mannequin straight onto my face in front of everyone in Geneva arrivals hall

@geepee,
I totally agree with you.
I take ski boots for skiing (quel surprise), walking boots for travelling and evenings out in the town and my slippers for inside the chalet/hotel.

Ski boots.
If it snows those are the ones you'll need.
If it doesn't snow any shoes will get you from your accomodation to the various cafes/bars/restaurants in town

Slippers? Surely some trendy trainers for hotel/chalet etc!

@thecramps, Wear walking boots, pack ski boots and trainers, job done.

@thecramps, with the walking boots you'd need your ice axe, crampons and rope (+partner) So it is a bit more than just choosing footwear. Personaly, I would take the ski boots and skis. I never take any spare shoes with me on holidays. I wear my approach trainers for the journey and for walking about the resort and never see the need for any others.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I always take both, obvs, but I'm doing what I do everytime we have an early trip booked. Looking at webcams and snowforecast everyday and panicking. I am such a bloody wuss.

You know it makes sense.

@tangowaggon, I always have my boots off and in hand when I get to the security desk. People who walk up to it and THEN start sorting electrical items, boots, belts etc get right on my tits. But I will heed your advice to avoid skidding across to the desk on my face.

@No Style,
You have to have slippers.
You can't get out of the bath/shower and put on trainers.

Good point, I was pulling his leg. We drive so I have room for both.

But daahling, the hotel provides the slippers and a nice fluffy robe too, does it not? (Flicks back hair, #becauseI'mworthit.)

I must've overlooked them in the Ibis Budget in Albertville...

I find trainers tend to be a bit slippery in snow - and very slippery on ice. Prefer walking boots. With crampons if it's icy.
