I'm bored and my searchbar is broken :(

I've never owned mittens, any reason I shouldn't throw down on sum?

I find with poles, its a little tricky to grab sometimes. I havnt used poles since march of 2006, so I'm fine with them.

Tim Russell rocks Mittens. That should be reason enough to try it out.

Word, cold fingers are the worst, especially you have to miss a pow run to keep from getting frostbite.

when its really cold, leave your poles at home and mittens will make you fly like a bird!

mittens > gloves. Even with poles when you do your garbs just hold your pole with your thumb while your fingers/paw grab your ski. They are so warm plus in my opinion look way steezier than gloves.

do you actually grab the ski with individual fingers?  You just palm the top or base of the ski and wrap your figers around the edge anyway, how is that any different then from with gloves on... Unless your one of thoes 2 finger grabbers then mittens untill its like 40 out

they make gloves look like poop for your hands. Keeping your phalangies seperated is wrong in the cold yo. I would rather have sweaty hands then freeze.

I have a pair of OR goretex mitts that are amazing on cold days. If you are ripping powpow, you should have mittens, as you probably won't be grabbing a whole lot and your hands will do much better.

hahaha, I never owned a pair of gloves last year...I just hoped some of my friends had an extra pair or liners but if not I was rocking no poles so I put my hands in my jacket...I am def getting mittens this year...warm hands would be cool for a change.
