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.
You're nuts :-)
Duct tape - glue and moisture from your skin combined to create blisters that are excruciating when you remove the duct tape. Speaking of that, I had a girlfriend in San Francisco - a real freak. Going to a piercing ritual one night, so she made a "duct tape bustier" with the help of her girlfriends. Then she went out and it got hot, and she felt like she was suffocating because all that skin couldn't breathe. She went to the bathroom with her girlfriends and they were tearing it off of her - half the folks in the restroom thought she was part of the piercing ritual. She was bruised all over her body. She still wanted to go home and get kinky after that.

So, you're nuts, but no more so than some of the people I've dated. I never thought to give her some chamois cream for christmas to see what she would do with it...
