Do thin, warm, and windproof/waterproof ski gloves exist?

I can never seem to find a warm pair of thin ski gloves. Anyone have any suggestions?

Check out some of the ones offered by Black Diamond. Don't know how "thin" you want them, but I have a pair that are waterproof and windproof, fit nicely, and were from BD. They are not too pricey either.

Look here: http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/mens-gloves

They run deals on their page. LevelNineSports.com and others have their stuff on deep discount too.

I have some older pairs like these.

I have become a huge fan of Hestra gloves lately. I now wear The Verticl Cut Freeride, and have a pair of Skiercross as well.

The Hestras are bulkier than the Scotts but warmer. I find leather gloves to be much warmer for their bulk vs. man made material. I leather balm my gloves once a year, and never get wet, unless its pouring out.
