Women's Ski & Snowboard Socks

Women’s ski socks and snowboard socks to keep toes and feet warm and dry, whether your preferred venue is nordic, alpine, backcountry, or backyard.

Durability, breathability, and adaptive warmth – just three reasons Merino Wool makes the best ski socks for women. Merino Wool balances natural insulation with temperature regulation and moisture wicking to keep your feet comfortable for a long day on the mountain. 

For extra in-boot comfort, choose one of our Midweight cushioned sock styles – some have padded shins, and they're comparatively thicker socks. If you prefer a lightweight, next-to-skin feel, our high performance ultralight snow socks are a top choice of serious skiers and snowboarders alike, ideal if you ski light and fast. Still a thin sock but with more to it, a Lightweight pair of socks let you pick a jersey knit or specific to so ski targeted cushion that wraps the toes and reaches up the Achilles.

When your boots do come off, Merino’s anti-odor properties mean the socks don’t have to. So go ahead and style those polar bear socks (or the yeti socks – we can never pick our favorite) around the lodge.
