You may want to ask on a site for skiers. The old Telemark Tips site has been revived somewhat but someone has hijacked the domain name so you'll have to look around for the new site, not sure what it became. VFTT is a New England site with a fair number of BC skiers, there are a couple of other bc skiing sites. Not sure what you mean by walking. In my limited experience, ski boots are not for walking any further than from your car to the snow and back.
