Well, the air, of course, takes heat energy from the feet at a much
slower rate than the ground could, because of density.  Also, the air
around the feet can warm up and insulate them somewhat, as opposed to
the snow, which would require substantial energy to change phase to
water before it would start warming up much.  So hovering barefoot might
not be that bad, provided you don't do it for several hours...
