I've always just washed them once at the end of the season for summer storage but I'm curious what everyone else does.

It's actually an old school trick my grandpa taught me. To feel the ski more you go barefeet, I even tried my new boots on completely sock less. I've had great results on the slopes so far.

When I can start using my socks as hockey sticks, saves me money. And saves the environment, less water ya know?

Fucking savages. Every time.

If you have no access to laundry or forget socks and have to use an old pair for yur car, otherwise wash your damn socks.

Usually running out of ski socks is the reason I do laundry. Also a good goal is to acquire stacks of ski socks. You should aim for 10 pair or so if you can find some on sale. Start building yur sock empire now!

I don’t wash my ski gear at all unless it’s socks. Sometimes I’ll wash an insulated flannel to wear it not skiing.

I feel super fucking gross damned near every time I ski. Especially if I hike some rails. I don't know how park rats ski with girls unless they're into B.O

Wtf is wrong with you people!?!? Wash your socks everytime you use them! There's nothing special about ski socks that gives any reason to not wash them at regular intervals. Do you also wear normal socks for a month and underwear without washing also? Y'all r nasty....

I get 2 days out of a pair before washing. I've worn Smartwools for years, but recently got a couple of pair of UnderArmours at TJ max for like 5 bucks, and they are the bombest ski socks ever. So comfy and fluffy.

Usually wash every time I wear them. Sometimes I'll get a weekend on a pair and if I need to save space but if I'm going on day three the just feel gross.

My boots are too snug for normal socks. I have this one pair of actual thin ski socks and another thin outdoorsy type pair of socks I use. They get washed after about 2 or 3 uses.
