A full day at Sunshine Village means cold chairlifts, long flat traverses and boots that stay buckled for hours. These over-the-calf socks add padding where a boot presses hardest and keep the rest of the sock light, so the shin, ankle and sole stay comfortable without crowding the shell. The merino blend wicks sweat and manages temperature on cold Rockies mornings, and the sock stays put through hard turns and park laps. A solid everyday sock.
