Ok so I have this really weird thing where my fingers get cold as hell no matter what I do. I even got the warmest pair of burton mittens and my fingers still get really cold. Does anyone know of any really warm gloves? Pow maybe?

put hand warmers on the back of your hands, cause thats wehre all the blood comes from so itll keep your fingers warmer

1) what temperature do you ski in?
2) do you have any circulation issues? I've got circulation issues with my feet where they get cold all the time.

Reynaud's syndrome maybe?  I have that.  I just got Hestra Seth Morrison Pro's and they're good for just about anything above 25 degrees depending on wind.  But below that, without glove warmers, I lose all circulation in my fingers.

thats probably why, make sure your gloves aren't too tight around your wrists cause if it restricts bloodflow, your hands are gonna get cold really fast.

Do your fingers ever look like those in the pictures in this article?

Oh, well I still recommend Hestra's.  And like the guy above said, make sure the gloves aren't too small and cutting off circulation.

Get Hestra mittens
Get The North Face thin polartec gloves. They call them power stretch i think.
Look like this:

Wear the thin gloves in the Mittens = COMFORTABLE AND WARM.
It seriously works and it doesn't impair finger movement.

Absolutely dakine....I've tried all kinds of different brands and the only ones that constantly are warm no matter what have been dakines....plus they are a super cool customer oriented company.
