I would rock heated boots if the battery packs weren't so huge and annoying

Imagine touring with that. Running up the mountain, stashing them in your backpack and getting your ski's off your backpack.

or you could tour with normal skis and not have a bunch of extra weight on both the trip up and trip down

I reckon walking up on snowblades would be a lot less tiresome, as long as they float of course.

and having skis on your back all the way up would be way more work then needed

kind of relative to this thread, Altai makes these skis with built in skins, they come in 125 and 145 lengths
