first of all, I was really worried about the content of this thread when I read the title...
secondly, zaphod's got it. I do a lot of hiking, and that's a great way to save your feet from dying. you can get this stuff called "moleskin" or if you want more padding "molefoam", and just cover the rubbing area - if it's already blistered, put it AROUND the blister, not on it. You're trying to reduce friction.
Or, you could be really awesome, and just wrap whatever area will be rubbing completely with duct tape before hitting the slopes. duct tape is perfect for the job, unless you put it on an existing blister. then you're screwed.
