Any tips for keeping your fingers from getting num when skiing?

Question

I used gloves ... and no not those litle knit gloves lol. But afer a few hours the feeling in my fingers were nonexistant and i had to warm them up on the spot. How am I supposed to do that on a ski-lift?!

I ended up going in the bathroom after that and flooding the sink with hot water to put my hands in lol.

Answer 1

while on the lift take your fingers and pull them up next to your palm to keep them warm.

(while still inside of your glove)

Answer 2

lol i know this may sound wierd but trying sticking ur hands somewhere in ur body and they will be gaurnteed 2 be warmed up

Answer 3

They must have some kind of heating pad -- thin ones-- that you can stick onto your hand before you put on your gloves. I know they have something like that for the foot.

Answer 4

Mittens are warmer than gloves because your fingers are all together rather than separated.

Answer 5

sounds like you have poor circulation in your hands, go to the proshop and try to buy some goves that have warmers in them, usually battery powered

Answer 6

Mittens!

I wear a very thin liner glove under a non-insulated, but very roomy Gore-Tex mitten. I use either Polartec Powerstretch or Gore N2S liner gloves.

The mittens trap a lot of heat and are much better than ski gloves. I wear the liners only on the coldest of days in the event I need to pull off my mitten, I still have some wind-protection.

It's also easier to shove a hand warmer in a mitten than in your gloves.

Answer 7

Buy a pair of hand warmers. they really work great.
