DIY PVC Ski Boot Dryer

Many skiers use ski boot dryers to maximize their time on the slope and encourage their comfort. These small electric devices blow air into the inside of the boot, which dries the boot in approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Making your own ski boot dryer involves using PVC pipes to direct the air into your boots. This will prevent your feet from getting wet, which keeps your overall body temperature high and your socks dry.

Instructions

    • 1

      Attach each of the elbow joints to opposite sides of the T-connector with the angles pointing up. This will form the base of your ski boot dryer. Secure these in place with the PVC cement.

    • 2

      Drill small holes in one side of the each of the 12-inch pieces of PVC pipe. This allows for more air flow.

    • 3

      Attach one of the 12-inch pipes to each of the elbow joint pieces so the end with the holes faces up. Glue these in place with PVC cement, or secure them with tape to make it easier to disassemble the boot dryer for storage and transportation.

      Insert the nose of the modified hair dryer into the remaining open end at the center of the T-joint. Place one ski boot on each of the 12-inch PVC pipes, then switch the dryer on to dry your boots.
