Filled with 1.5 pounds of rice each. Maybe I should post them
on Etsy. Or Regretsy.

So, can you use them to re-fit boots?

:-)

You all suck! Here I introduce a negligible-cost handy hint on an
actual ski subject and I get nothing but ****! AND they can be used
for heating pads. Not heavy enough for a sap, though, so you're on
your own against muggers.

The point is to make them easier to get into in the morning. A
friend CAN'T get into hers unless she warms them from home to hill
(2 hours in her case) with similar products or we hold them under
the hand dryers for a couple of cycles, which is a monumental
nuisance.

This would be my solution, but I know it is not cost effective.

It's a nuisance. You have to do something with your shoes once you get
to the restroom. I hate walking in ski boots, even the Nordicas with
the walking thingy that I just replaced. an extra 300 feet each way is
more than I want to deal with, especially when there's another 500 feet
uphill to the lift. (Just a guess about the distance, but I'll go with
it.) As soon as I saw Whatshisname pull some ski boots up out of the
ocean and actually WEAR them on I knew that Waterworld was going to suck.

I was going to suggest tire warmers as one of the teams had been
using it at the race yesterday. You could fit 3 or 4 pairs of boots
in a tire warmer that would be cost effective.

Possibly on your planet :-) I had the socks and yarn, and cheap rice is
40 cents/pound. I threw in a few dried lavender flowers to make them
smell good.

this is a ski race shop that has a different line of bags

Very nice. TOO nice!
