Men’s ski socks and snowboard socks built for nordic, alpine, and backcountry snow days to keep your toes warm and dry run after run… after run.

We knit our Merino Wool ski socks in three weights. For spring skiing, race days, and that foot-sock-boot connection, our ultralight ski socks star our finest yarns, more like a second skin than a sock. If you still want thin ski socks but a tad extra warmth, our lightweight socks strike the perfect balance; many include pro-level tech features, like the Backwoods’ segmented padded shin, developed with pro snowboarder Jake Blauvelt. Midweight with cushion are our warmest snow socks, for days when the cold weather won’t keep you off the powder.
