. I do have a hotgear bag, but still working on perfecting the get the boot on technique.

Jim,  a one-time squirt of silicone spray into the shell will help ease entry until you have perfected your "get the boot on technique."  Hold your breath when you spray, as the stuff's better on boots and bindings than in lungs.  You can get suitable spray designed for bindings and boots at many ski shops or online ( for example, tognar.com )  It's also good for silencing creaking boots in warmer weather.
