Here is how I us my boots..
When I get up at 5 am I tie on my k2 BOA snowboard boots nice and tight....
Then I head down and get some bfast and coffee... On over to the shop and load and fuel all my sleds, check conditions in the area, and drive to the trail head. The people I ride with show up at the trailhead about 8am.
On to riding, hucking sleds, and snowboard/ski until about dark. Head down to put away sleds, fuel, oil, do paperwork, and fix anything broken..
Then head over to the bar for a beer and burger and back up to my house where I walk in and take off my k2 boa snowboard boots 12 - 14 hrs later and slip on some cush sandles... Put boots by the fire so that they dry This plan works great for me 5-6 days a week in the winter..
From what I have seen ski boots suck to ride in. If you are learning it makes it even harder. I tell skiers that go out with me to take a watershead bag (big zip lock baggie) and change out boots once we get to the skiing. But I do like the idea about the size 18 sorels!!!
Also if you like the seat on your sled any boot that you look into should be a boa or burton pull type system - the eye hooks on the upper part of most boots will in a season tear your seat to hell...
