I wouldn't say it's particularily "hard", just a bad idea, especially if you get into a panic braking situation.  You can't feel the pedals with boots, and they are slippery.

thats cool and all, but know this.  if you hit me and injured me in some way and i wasn't happy with the money i got from the insurance, which would be less than likely.  and you got out of the car with your ski boots on id take you to the cleaners in civil court for being a fucking idiot.

meh, i drive in my boots all the time, i'm not too worried about it. i never go more than 5 minutes from my hill and i've done it so much that it's practically natural to me. just crank the seat back a little bit and you're money, no worries.

if you can only maintain a constant speed with ski boots on then you probably shouldn't be driving..

As far as insurance goes you will be fucked if they find out what you were wearing, but insurance cmpanies are the biggest assholes/douch bags out there.

As Far as the law is conserned it varies from state to state and also is up to the cop to decide if you get ticketed or not.
