Anybody else ski without gloves/mittens/hand condoms when it's not like three degrees? I hate stuff on my hands. I can grip poles better and if I'm cold I just shove my hands in my pockets. Am I fucking insane?

Oh hell nah I tried it on one warm (50+) day and by the end of the session it looked like I'd fisted a coil of barbed wire. Snow and ice can fuck you up good if you aren't careful

Only when it's 35+ and sunny. Gotta be extra careful on the rails when you truck drive or when you hand drag anything.

Depends on the conditions. I like rocking bare hands because the grabs feel nice and organic / gluten free

I didn't wear my mitts for about 10 seconds and I ninja-cut my thumb on my edge because they'd just been sharpened. Pretty sure I've got blood over my jacket after not realising.

No gloves tears up your hands like you just fisted the girl from "teeth" (a movie about a girl who has vagina dentat(teeth in her vagina)). But pipe gloves work well and there are some sick designs out there

OP I prefer no gloves as well, except I ski a rope on the reg. If its warm and relatively not busy I'll go for it, neeeed that speed to get back on the rope without wrecking my palms
