I'm not sure if anybody else gets this problem after skiing but I find that
my lower parts of my shins itch after skiing. It doesn't itch right away
but does so anywhere from about 6 to 24 hours later. I'm not sure if this
is an allergic reaction to ski socks, long underwear, something in my boots
or what. Has anyone else either experienced this problem and/or know of the
cause?


Caused by hairs being pulled out by friction with tight socks and boots.
Doesn't hurt immediately, but itches after awhile. The solution is to
ski much much more, until all the hair below the boot line on your leg
is permanently gone; the itching will stop.
