I once had a ballet teacher who’s mantra was “fake it ’till you make it.” As a short, not particularly willowy, dancer I’ve had plenty of chances to practice faking it. Naturally, I take the same approach to skiing. (Don’t ask me how good I am. I don’t really have a lot of perspective. All I know is that my sister is more talented than I am and that bugs me.) Part of faking being a good skier is having the right gear. Gloves really seem to impress the masses. I’ve been sharing gloves with my mom for a while now and I’m thinking of getting my own pair. My question is: what feature will be most important to me? Price? Well, yeah, now that I’m paying for them. Fit? I do have freakishly small hands. Color? That seems like an awfully girly criterion. I don’t think I’ll get picky about that one. Full-fingered? I don’t know. What are the pros and cons on that one?  What do you think?
