ski socks vs perofmance socks

hi guys my question is... Are ski socks really that different from good perofrmance socks? Am I really going to feel the difference?

There shouldn't be, but there often is. Really it's about fit. Ski boots should be very snug and therefor the socks need to fit precisely. However, there are ski socks and there are ski socks, some good ,some bad. The big difference should be the availability of sizes and calf length. Good ski socks come in more sizes, making a good fit easier. The materials used are often the same, wool mix, moisture wicking, etc. Ski socks can often be found in different thicknesses which is very useful. Fit new boots with very thin socks and switch to thicker socks as the boots pack in.

I have a drawer full of ski socks, so I can pick the right pair for any one of several ski and snowboard boots that I use.
