Black Diamond Glissade Glove - Womens
More than just a sized-down version of a man's glove, the Glissades for women have been perfectly proportioned for a woman's hands. With its 100% waterproof construction and supple feel, the Glissade is THE choice for skiers and boarders who live in mid-temperature climates. Shock-corded gauntlets are easily cinched with one hand, while the leather palm and fingers stay grippy when wet and cold. A non-removable fleece lining provides you with day-long warmth as you play in the backcountry or at your local resort.

Great glove for a great skier!
Great glove for a great skier! These gloves are not waterproof, but if you don't fall a lot they will work well. Snowboarders - this glove is not for you!
NOT WATERPROOF
I just got back from a snowboarding trip with these gloves, and had to buy a new pair after our first day. These gloves are not waterproof, my hands were freezing and soaked. Spend an extra and get gloves made with Gore-Tex and that have liners (these have neither).

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
