lol, you guys make it sound like a river is flowing on your running board. I'm sure i'd have wet foot syndrome if I didn't wear full rubber winter boots, but this is kinda funny sounding - anyone got pictures of the mess? Where's the melting snow coming from anyway? Is there snow getting into the clutch area, melting from motor/clutch heat and running down the footwell? This is weird.

what i think is happening is, the spray and powder off the skis swirls up contacting the clutch dynaics air flow forcing the snow, water vapor up onto peoples lower leg and boot area through the large holes in the floor area. if you dont have good boots, pants or gaitors on the pants you will have issues.

my solution would be to put a deflector at the front of the foot well at the bottom of the tunnel clutch area to make an air foil if you will to keep the snow from comming up through the holes in the floor boards via air deflection. ski

I payed special attention to this issue today during my ride through lots of powder. Snow is coming up from under the running board, and the heat from the engine and the clutches, and the radiator above the motor is blowing its way down through the footwell. My boot was very wet, and the bottom of my ski pants were soaked, good thing my boots are rubber all the way up, I've never noticed this till now. I'd rather have things melted and wet in this area than ice jammed and frozen.

The solution is waterproof boots. I threw away my 4 year old HMK boots and picked up some Klim Radium GTX boots today and for the first time in 4 years I had warm AND dry feet. Deffinitely worth the $200.
