And where might you be sticking those hands of yours before you put them in your gloves??

Cool

I never ski without gloves, or without long sleeves and full pants. It isn't snow... It is frozen ice crystals.

I don't fall a lot, but gravity is generally in effect.

The other day, I realized that it was colder than when I was skiing, but I was now in a t-shirt and shorts. I almost never fall... when hiking.

I need to wear some sort of glove, it feels weird if I don't. A couple of seasons ago I ended up with blisters at the bottom of each index finger when I decided not to wear gloves.

my hands sweat like a shower and if you constantly wash the gloves the become less water resistant.

Liners until it's warm enough to just wear a t-shirt.

Gloves always - this year I started wearing x-c ski gloves - worked well.

always pants and I'll go with a t-shirt and some sort of shell. always a helmet and sun screen starts about March 20th

protects you from snow and sun!

I usually like to wear gloves, just in case I fall I don't want to get cut up or anything. I have gone gloveless on occasion though.
