Just Curious. I know some hockey players do it for the "feel" of the ice i guess.

i think it'd make your boots really stinky if you did it in the summer. hot weather+insulated boots=stanky.

I wear as thin of socks as possible but would never ski without socks. even if i forgot them I'd just wear the no-show socks I wore up to the mountain.

Use to go no socks all the time when I raced.. I still do sometimes if I forget them. More often than not though, I wear my ankle socks because I forget/lose my smartwools... such is life. And my boots have a permanent stench to them anyways, so I'm over it :P

yes, when it's not too cold, otherwise I wear thin dress style socks, I normally go sockless in regular shoes though

Now and then, I don't notice a big difference, except it makes boots a little harder to put on.

Yeah, me.

I don't wear socks with my boots, only needed them once over the past three seasons. Man, what a smell, my boots are pretty funky. But it feels great- basically I don't wear socks in general, so it was a no-brainer to do the same on the slopes.

So someone wrote that Boronowski didn't wear socks either, any other pros do the same?

I was going to say the same thing.  Why aren't they on your feet when you leave to go the the mountain?  Do all you guys wear normal socks and then change into ski socks once you get there?  That's weird.

The ultimate would be to ski without socks, using rental boots.

Now that would be thrilling. Woo.

If you are already wearing ski socks (that are sweaty) and put them in your boots...and it's cold out, your feet are probly going to be pretty cold.

Hell no!  I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would feel, not to mention the smell of your boots after a whole season without socks.
