Burton Men's Performance Midweight Socks
High performance snowboarding socks keep your feet warm and dry all day. Nothing is worse than having cold and numb toes on the mountain. This nylon and wool blend will ensure you have a great day on the mountain. They offer a bit of compression which is great on your calves when you are riding all day.

Cushion for support. Padded where needed, warm enough and moisture contol.













Burton Women's Performance Midweight Socks
Blend of merino wool and dries quickly to wick away sweat and keep feet nice and dry. Medium density cushioning absorbs impacts and strategically padded channels reduce pressure on feet.

A good pair of ski socks can make or break a day on the slopes. These Smartwools are top of the line and will ensure you have a warm and comfy day out on your skis!

Great performance snowboarding sock. The compression fit helps keep that circulation flowing while the padded areas resist boot fatigue.

Darn Tough Men's Backwoods OTC Lightweight With Cushion W/ Padded Shin Socks
The importance of a ski-specific sock is often the most overlooked piece of kit. Ski boot issues are often diagnosed with an ill-fitting or ill-performing sock. There should ben nothing in your ski boot except your foot covered by a ski specific sock (keep the legs of your long underwear out of your boots too!). It can seem counterintuitive, but a lighter weight sock will actually keep your feet warmer. Too thick of a sock not only causes pain and hot spots, but constricts blood flow and takes up the small and valuable air pockets within the boot that your foot should be heating up and thusly keeping your feet warm. I recommend skiing with the lightest weight sock you can get away with and with minimal cushioning. This Over the Calf Lightweight option is my pick for 99% of clients. It's a nominal investment that doesn't just help those expensive boots you bought perform like they should, but insures comfort and a longer pain free ski day.
