Where on the soles of your feet exactly?

If you're in normal shape, this shouldn't be happening -- even if you've been sedentary I'd find it odd.

I wish you had gone in and swapped out your equipment as that's the most likely thing. Your boots in particular. Yeah, when you ski you'll use muscles you don't use in other scenarios, but that'll most likely make you sore the next day, not exhausted after one run.

I have very high arches (outer 1% of foot shape), so I'm inclined to agree with you. The bottom of my feet - particularly the bottom of my toes, ball of my feel, and heel - were all in intense pain during skiing. I read somewhere it has to do with "intrinsic muscles." Good feedback and much appreciated.
