I only take 1 pair usually and wash em in the shower every time I have one, plan goes a wee bit tits up when you don't get in from après ski till 5am mind.

Remember the secret is wash your feet not your socks 8)

There are a couple of points about washing your socks (and thermals) on ski trips. Altitude and elevation combine to make for very low humidity. This means that if you do wash thermals and ski socks, they should easily dry overnight (provided they are made of good wicking materials).
This is good, if you are starting to dry out like a prune, with the combination of alpine air, and forced air heating, as the drying clothes will raise the humidity in your room. Of course, this is where you find out if the anti smell (anti-microbial) treatment the manufacturer claims, actually works.

I've tried all the main brands. Used to prefer Salomon but now I absolutely swear by X Socks. Brilliant! Have used them for the last few seasons and now wouldn't ever consider buying another brand. Various versions, but the bog standard Ski Light is perfect. Not a lot of places sell them, but they are easy source online or you usually come across them shopping around in ski resorts. Just type "X Socks ski" in to Google.

As to the duration - I tend think two pairs for one week, three for 10 days, four for two weeks.
