would these socks be good for snow making at a ski area?

I would just get a good pair of felt lined waterproof boots and wool socks. These socks are good for keeping your feet dry but they also make your feet sweat a bit. In a cold weather situation these socks would keep your feet dry, but they would also be frozen.

I used them in a wet (not frozen) environment and then had wool sock on under them...my feet got wet, really wet and cold but would have been colder without them.

sorry, but I don't know about that. I use them to keep the snow out of my boots.

I am not sure if they would work in snow. My grandson took them home with him so I never saw them in action! He was very happy when he opened the box, though

I bought these for my husband because he got frostbite on his big toe last year removing snow. He loves these socks and as long as your boots are big enough to have a little bulkier sock, your toes will be nice and cozy.

If you mean 20 below, no way will these work. If you mean 20 degrees, you may be ok if your activity level is high since they're rubber on the outside with a thin layer of fleece on the inside and they will keep the heat in. They have a good grip and are completely waterproof. Small containers may be an issue depending on what the container is like. Hard to say about that. My husband uses them for shoveling snow in those temps and was fine. Hope that helps.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

I would think so but they don't have much in the way of insulation. Unless you got a bigger size where you could wear thick socks I would think your feet would get cold.

I haven't worn these outside while running in the winter. I have worn them in the winter (because I ran out of regular socks) for regular day activities and my feet get pretty cold if I'm outside.

I can't compare as I have never had any with wool, but these are okay, just don't stay warm very long and batteries need to be charged or replaced quite frequently. They are okay and I feel are worth the money I paid but I wouldn't recommend for really cold areas.

I don't think so; they come with an adapter/controller, that gives the impression of wet snow falling.

Hello, These socks are WARM, and thought I love them for fall and winter, my feet do get rather toasty in them. I'm thinking these may not be the socks for you; the dense weave, which makes them super strong, does trap heat. Again, good for winter wear, but if your feet need more breathability in socks, then I don't think I'd go with Darn Toughs.

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

Sorry I cannot help you. These were a gift for my grandson and he lives in another state. If I talk to him I will ask him. I haven't done any skiing for quite a few years.

Hi Janet, I purchased these for my grandma; she said they are the warmest socks she's ever worn. FYI they're really, really thick so might not fit when you wear normal shoes. Might be best for home with slippers etc.

The thermal ones would, but I would be too hot. I think a smart wool would work better. Michigan winter. Depends on your intensity of workout

I bet they'd be fine...they stay in place really well when I snowboard. Just make sure you get the correct size.

There good too go skiing, for riding a mortar cycle they might be too big but they will work
