Why do snow skiing boots give my shins long cuts, bruises, and blisters & what can I do to correct? I am new to the sport of snow skiing. I went twice in the past week.

Both gave me cuts on my shins. I tried thick socks. I also stuff the leg portion of my long underwear into the boot as extra padding. I even tried putting soccer shin pads into my boots for extra padding. However, that seemed unstable while skiing. Any suggestions? Do I have to give up skiing for this problem?
