Instead of just heaters planted the toe area of the ski boot, a small fan heater would blow hot air into the front of the boot as another fan would blow air out, thereby heating and drying your feet. A thin layer of breathable yet wind proof gor-tex would protect and cover the exterior of the fans preventing snow, ice and water from entering.

The interior lining would be porous, thus allowing air to circulate and keeping feet firmly in place

       My ski boots don't have any room in them for air to move around. That's because my feet need to stay firmly attached to the skis. I'd like to see the foot-to-boot contration that could accomodate this idea.

When I ski in powder you can bearly see that there is a ski attached to the end of my leg, its so covered in snow. I suspect this bit of your idea probably would not work. scothand point out the other problem.
