Anyone get extremely cold feet after awhile of skiing. I got some new thinner socks, because the bootfitter said they have better circulation than thicker ones. My feet were still cold as hell after I sessioned the park all day. Is it a movement thing?

your feet will never be completely 100% warm or dry because your feet sweet and your boots are not breathable.

oh ya and to add, ya its a movement, if your body isn't warm, then your blood will suck out of ur feet and hands to keep the body warm, so your body needs to be warm. and thinner socks also help

Another thing, my hands are always freezing. So I bought some brand new burton gloves, that should help.

you gotta keep moving. if you rock the park all day and are constantly standing still or riding lifts, then you will naturally lose circulation, and therefore warmth

unbuckling my boots on the lift when its super cold helps me.

also if you put your top buckles of your boots on really tight it can slightly reduce the amount of blood circulating in your foot, which in turn can chill your feet off a bit
