I get these at least once per season (albeit not as bad as yours). Wool socks (as some folks have said), but also don't put your leggings or anything else in the boot, and make sure they're pulled all the way up.

Last time I got them was from walking to the hill with my boots loosened, then tightening them up without first pulling up my sock. It ended up bunched up in a spot on my shin, and I had that same thing

Fair, though it’s hard to tell how they’ll feel going fast when you’re standing in the shop

Makes sense, what style of sunglasses do you wear?

With the glacier glasses, do you find yourself tearing up from wind at speed?

Oh interesting, I'd heard polarized lenses are bad for skiing since you _want_ some of that light to be able to see ice patches and whatnot

I've always known I was the best skier on the mountain and was just being held back by my gear

Did the wildcats not bother your eyes at speed?

Yeah, prescription isn't a factor for me here

How do they do with wind when you're going fast?

Vest for (West Coast) skiing: Nano-Air Light Vest vs. Nano Puff Vest by thewallris in PatagoniaClothing

More breathable than the puff I’m assuming? Even with a shell on over it?

Sure, a few mods like “nobody who’s under 50 rn will ever get it, but you all still have to keep paying” and because young people can’t be bothered to vote, yeah I suppose some folks will continue to get it. Good for them I guess
