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

My apologies for having let this go for so long without an answer, sb.

Are the ski boots (any ski boots) well enough fitted to do that? I really don't see how they could provide graduated pressure.

and that the important thing to do would be to get legs up when resting at lunch time and not stand around in bars at the end of the day and get straight into proper class 1 or class 2 compression hosiery then...

Undisputed.

Those, perhaps.
Joe Friel's summary of compression sox at Kona Ironman, references at bottom (I have not looked at the references).

I could get away with 3 pairs for a week's skiing..

you could easily get away with 2 - things dry quickly in the dry mountain air. I have a pair from Decathlon which are fine, but I had to hunt all through the display to find any thin ones, because I've no room for thick socks in my boots. My daughter, every time we stop for a break or she has to wait for me to catch up, lies on the snow and props her feet up on her skis. I'm sure it's great for her legs, but personally I find it too much of a mission to get up again, so I only do the same if having to wait ages. It's a good habit.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I bought the most expensive technical socks from Mountain Warehouse in the end. They seem to have a small amount of compression but I'll probably have to do boots and socks off, compression socks on and feet up twice a day to keep things flowing...
Still haven't sorted getting my boots heat-moulded and footbeds fitted so that's the next step...
Thanks all...

Socks, how much difference do they make?
Isn't the answer to that it depends on whether you are wearing sandals?
