    Ben Corwin, Hutkeeper and mountain adventurer

    The Smartwool 3/4 tight (also available in women's) is a great baselayer for skiing and splitboard to avoid weird boot - sock - baselayer interfaces. Light enough for most conditions, but also warm enough to take the chill off on even the coldest days.
