There’s nothing worse than putting on damp boots.
So for years I dried my snowboard boots on the stove, letting the warmth
from the pilot light do its job overnight. Then I visited my buddy Pete’s
cabin in Whitefish. He had a Peet’s boot dryer. No more boots on the stove!

cold feet is because the first thing they do each morning is stick their feet
into five pounds of padding and thermoplastic that’s room temperature or car

might even be able to start a fire this way as well so it’s probably best to
leave them on the fireplace hearth or somewhere else that can’t burn.
