At minimum, two pairs per child for a ski trip — one to wear while the other dries. For a week-long trip, three to four pairs is ideal. Kids' socks get wet from snow, sweat, and puddles more easily than adults', and putting on damp socks in the morning is a recipe for cold feet. Having fresh, dry socks each day makes a significant difference in comfort and warmth.
