Cleaning ski gear

[lukoson]

How often do folks tend to wash ski gear? I'm talking baselayers, jackets, ski pants, ski socks, facemasks?

I wash my merino wool base layers maybe every 15 days out because they never seem to smell bad even if I sweat a little. But my kids insist on theirs getting washed every outing.

I wash my ski jacket and pants maybe yearly.

Socks (even though they are smartwool) I wash after every outing.

Wash the facemask after every 1-2 outings especially if it gets wet from respiration.

just washed my socks and base layers yesterday after 25 days they needed it. Mid layers and outerwear once a year. But then again I wear my jeans a week or two before they go to wash.

Washed a pair of my ski socks in the sink in the morning before I went yesterday.
Rung em out & put em on the warm air blowing boot-mitten drier. EZ peasy.
The socks ain’t electric.

Battery-operated socks linked to Burke Mountain Hotel fire

Authorities say a fire in a room at the Burke Mountain Hotel on Saturday was sparked by battery-operated heated socks.

Shell layers almost never get washed- once a year unless they’re covered in mud. Socks and base layers get washed almost every use
