design idea - Ski Boot
Tis the ski season! Last year I was a beginner who kept falling over and then couldn't get back into my bindings, because the soles of my boots were jammed with compacted snow. So I started thinking about a beginners boot that the snow couldn't stick too. One idea is to have sprung sealed rubber discs in the soles so snow is compacted into them and then pushed out, when you lift your feet, reducing the surface area it has to adhere to. It would also give better grip when walking back to the chalet after a busy day.
