Same here most of mine are smartwool but i think my favorite pair are a pair of solomon "freeski" ones but they are more expensive and i only have one pair, they are just comfy. Really id say the cheapest most comfy ones go with.

smartwool for sure.

really high quality socks that are warm and do a good job of keeping my feet free of sweat.

i've tried Le Bent not as extensively as smartwool but they seem good too, especially if you have more sensitive skin so prefer a softer feel sock as they are merino bamboo blend.

wasn't a fan of smart wool. i liker their running socks but not their ski ones

i really like the falke SK4. has a nice light weight padding.

i also picked up a pair from wigwam that i like. light weight again and have a seamless toe

Any thin merino wool sock will treat you well.

Not really too worried about price point since I will only buy a pair or 2. Just want something thats not going be to sweaty and is thin but durable. Anyone tried the Icebreaker ski socks?

I use smart wool socks and they are pretty darn good. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Look up 'Fits' brand socks. In the past I was a smartwool guy, but I refuse to ski in anything others than a Fits now.
I would say better fitting and more durable than smartwool.
