English term or phrase: boot scraper
Mentioned within the context of skiing---so we're talking about snowboots, which is why "schoenschraper" did not seem an apt translation, it also does not match the visual description given in the text: "a small, plastic squares about the size of a credit card". Anyone?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, but it's specified in the text that it's used for scraping sticky snow off the soles of your boots, so using this term would not be appropriate and would confuse the reader...
