I just have to 2nd the Costco socks (I think they are about 20 bucks for 4 pair, and 70% merino wool) they are great for the price, and make sure cotton isn't touching your feet unless you like damp feet. I would say it depends on what you are using now, and what you expect them to do. If you are using cotton now, have warm boots, a nice tent, or a way to keep your feet off the ice I think you'll be happy with these. The reviews on amazon said the sizing of the Hi-Tec socks was a little weird (too tight), just fyi. If you do get them and they fit well, take a set of foot or toe warmers just in case, and let us know how they work out for you.
