I'm going to have to disagree.
I've tried a bunch of different types of socks while skiing and the only ones I've ever truly thought made a difference were my red under-armors.
Skiing is something of an ultimate test of cold-weather gear, IMO. You have extremely cold temperatures, moisture, physical exertion and a lot of different twists/turns for the clothing (all over a fairly long period of time).
They definitely make a difference in overall warmth when you're skiing. Better still, they're not nearly as thick as the wool socks so you still get plenty of feel in the boot and it makes for better control in the process. I also love my knock-off compression shirt. I use it for fall softball (and wore just it under my Dawson jersey at the game last night). They worked great.
To each their own, but I think the underarmor stuff is great.
