I did read somebody ditched the SPD and went to flat pedals so as to be able to wear warm winter boots. That’s smart.
I have skied at -20 and it was barely tolerable, but at least at the bottom of the hill it was a very tolerable 0. Of course for skiing, one has the equipment to stay warm. Your booties sound like a fine idea.
