How to Choose the Right Pair of Socks for Your Activities at Tremblant

At Tremblant, we know that comfort starts with your feet. Whether we’re heading out for a day of alpine skiing, a cross-country ski excursion, or a hike on the trails, the right pair of socks can make all the difference between fully enjoying the adventure or spending the day feeling cold and uncomfortable. Darn Tough socks, made with high-quality merino wool, are designed to keep feet warm, dry, and comfortable no matter the conditions.

Alpine Skiing: Warmth and Protection All Day

On the ski slopes, days can be long and temperatures can vary. With ski boots, feet can quickly become numb or wet, especially if moisture builds up or the socks are too thin. We recommend over-the-calf socks, in medium to heavy weight, which protect the leg inside the boot, reduce pressure points, and retain warmth while wicking moisture away. Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, keeping feet comfortable even after several hours on the slopes.

Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing: Breathability and Mobility

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing put a lot of strain on the feet and ankles, and the intensity of the activity can make them sweat. Feet can become damp and cold if socks don’t allow moisture to escape quickly. For these activities, we choose shorter or boot-height socks that are breathable, provide good support, and allow airflow. The result: dry feet, freedom of movement, and less fatigue, even on Tremblant’s extensive network of Nordic trails.

Hiking: Comfort and Blister Prevention

During hikes, whether on summer trails or fall outings, feet are in direct contact with shoes for several kilometers. Moisture, friction, and heat can lead to blisters or numbness. With light to medium-weight merino wool socks, we avoid these problems: the wool absorbs moisture, reduces friction, and maintains a comfortable temperature. Even on wet trails or after a challenging climb, our feet stay protected and comfortable.

The Details That Make the Difference

Beyond the material itself, Darn Tough pays attention to every detail: seamless toes to prevent irritation, arch support to reduce fatigue, and strategically placed ventilation zones to promote moisture wicking. These features keep our feet comfortable, wet or not, so we can enjoy every activity without interruption.

Plus, Darn Tough socks are unconditionally guaranteed for life! If these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, you can return them for another pair. No receipt needed, just the pair in question.
