    HoTronics Battery’s On then Shut Down?

    My Wife’s HoTronics Batteries are fully charged and activated with 4 LED’s indicating a max heating setting until plugged into the boot cords, then they shut down? What’s up with that? Are cords shorted out? The footbed faulty? Too old?

    Cold/Numb Toes Problem

    Ok, Pugski hivemind - looking for some kind of "diagnosis" here. Here's my situation: With all of the boots I have had in the last 15+ years, I have had the same problem. Cold toes. I ignored it and just thought it was somewhat normal. About 3 years ago I got some Hotronics, and it kinda...

    Hotronics wire splitting

    Just noticed this. Anyone know how these are constructed? Not sure if the split is actually near the wires.

    Tell me about boot heaters ...

    Getting new boots for one of my daughters at Racer’s Edge in Breck next week. She had custom insoles made there two years ago and they made a huge difference for her, but it is time for new boots. Her feet get really cold all the time, and she always uses those disposable heat packs. Do the...

    Two Questions - Pull liners nightly? Heated boot dryer in Fisher Vacuum?

    That's it, I have two questions that seem to have different camps (I've been told different things) on. Surefoot and my the store that did my Fisher Vacuum boots (first ones in 2014) said to take the liner out nightly to insure it dried nightly. Another school of thought was taking the liner...

    Grass Sticks Ski Poles

    Ok, so my wife has the coldest hands of all time when skiing. We’re talking close to absolute zero! She especially doesn’t enjoy the poma lift at our local ski hill (and she uses it a lot). Her theory is that holding onto the aluminum ski poles on the lift draws even more heat from her...

    A solution for GF's cold feet?

    GF and I are both ski instructors. She's got a pair of Tecnica Cochise 95w from a couple of years ago (the barbie pink ones) and they fit her just fine. No pressure points, or crushing, intuition liners, and orthotics. The problem is, after a few hours on the hill, her feet get really cold...

    Warm Feet Needed for Wife!

    Tecnica Cochise W100 boots that fit her very well, after a fair bit of boot fitting slopeside at Sun Valley (Pete Lane's). Three buckles, power strap instead of fourth buckle, walk mode. She skis very well in these boots, but as we both age, she is fighting cold feet more and more, to the...

    Boot heaters. You learn something every day.

    I have installed many of boot heaters over the years and there are many schools of thoughts on how to run the wires along with where to put the batteries. I mostly use Hotronics and my installations tend to be on the powerstrap verses the rear spine of the boot. I chose it use the powerstrap...

    Gadgety gadgets

    New products are on the market for skiers every day. Some are amazing, some are interesting and some are down right crazy. Some things that we may thing are a bit extravagant may become a part of our every day ski experience, while some fade away to a land of lost and forgotten ski stuff. I...
