Do you change at the car or in the lodge? Me, I'm cheap and don't like the crowds in a lodge, so I change at the car and have been getting about 150-200 days.

I believe that proper boot fitting is paramount of boot life span. I also take good care of them, cleaning inside and out, lubricating the buckle adjustment screws, airing the boots indoors all year round by removing the liners and footbeds. That being said I’ve been able to get the most of 200 ski days from the boots I use.
MOST IMPORTANTLY I try to keep the bases as pristine as possible by not walking in them on pavement or concrete, where using the rubber cat-track base protectors is necessary. Unnecessary releasing is not a good thing to happen, so I keep the toe/heel piece edges trim and square...
