‘tis the season to go skiing
Custom Weather, a specialised provider of high resolution weather forecast and alert services, has released its European Ski Outlook for Winter 2013-2014, indicating the best places to go for optimal skiing conditions in Europe this winter. “The weather for the upcoming 2013-2014 ski season is looking favorable for ski and snowboarding fans, with above-normal precipitation forecasted for much of Europe and especially over the Alps.” They also confirm good news for UK skiers as above-normal precipitation is also anticipated over the northern regions, creating good conditions for UK resorts as well. Yeah!
At www.socksupermarket.com we have ski socks totally sorted with a wide range starting from just £3.00, allowing no excuses, even if you rent the rest of your ski or snowboarding gear, to not buy a pair of real ski socks. The wrong socks will sag, wrinkle, cause blisters and make the best ski boots feel like badly-fitted cement overshoes. And it might sound silly but the right socks can make a huge difference to how well you ski. The snugger the fit of sock and boot the more efficiently you will transfer power to the edge of your ski. And it’s popular misconception that really thick ski socks make for warmer feet. Modern boots are well insulated and thinner socks – of the correct composition – allow for a tiny cushion of warm air between foot and inner boot. You should be able to wiggle your toes. The most popular ski socks are blends of merino wool or silk for comfort, with a synthetic fiber for moisture control and a stretch fiber to get a snug fit. And that’s exactly what ours are:
The socksupermarket Contrast Wool Ski Tube is fully cushioned throughout providing excellent warmth and comfort. The natural wicking properties of the Merino wool helps keep the feet dry and blister free whilst the toe seam reduces the risk of rubbing and abrasion. They are suitable for all winter and outdoor sports.
Composition 40% Merino Wool, 40% Acrylic, 18% Nylon, 2% Lycra Elastane
