Not sure if this thread has been made, but I'm wondering what are your favorite ski socks to ride in?
I'm looking for some new ones, seeing what people ride with and like.
Pretty random threat but I'm curious!

Sock liners.
Or thin ski socks.
I like the liners better.

ice breaker merino wool ultralite. I can honestly wear them for a week straight without them smelling. They get crusty and gross feeling, but still smell fine. it's amazing. I have 5 pairs of em and will never use anything else.

I used to just use mid calf height wool socks, but now I use actual ski socks, Smart Wool ones. I like them, but I need to get more. Ski socks are expensive.

Northern BC and its harsh cold has taught me to ski barefoot! When I was first told to try it after always having to warm my feet by the fire I thought they were on crack! But I tryed it and it works. You feet stay very warm with no socks.

Try a pair of regular high sock liners. They are cheap and work great in my opinion, better than skis socks imho

I have a pair of Bridgedale ultra fit (the thinnest model) and a pair of thin Rossignol socks. Basically as thin as possible ski socks.

Eurosock super lights. Best sock ever. I couldn't find any this year so I picked up hot chillys ultra lights and they arent bad but not as nice as te euro sock.
