These things rock!
I shouldn't be surprised. I have yet to get something made by Marmot that I wasn't happy with. Add to that the great deal I got on them from Backcountry.com and it's pure bliss. These are comfortable gloves that breath well enough to stay dry inside while pounding through the pow (we've had a few freak spring storms this year, so I got to really test them out.) The gloves were equally comfortable on the lift, nice and toasty. I usually either get cold on the lift or soaked from sweat on the run, but I am always comfortable in these gloves.
Marmot Spring Glove
The Marmot Spring Glove worked well for me while skiing in up in Little Cottonwood Canyon last April. The temperature ranged from the teens to the mid-thirties and my hands stayed comfortable all day. When the temp dropped below the teens however, I needed to wear warmer gloves. The palms on these seem durable, but I've never needed to test them. For warmer weather skiing these gloves are perfect.
So versatile
I have now used these gloves from skiing in Chile and NZ to climbing Cotopaxi/Chimborazo in Ecuador. Just love them. Only reason I haven't give them 5 is that I haven’t tried many of the competitor’s gloves and therefore thought it unfair to give them a 5. Great value glove.

Training Tips
For runners looking to get the maximum benefit from hill training, as you sprint to the top of the hill have your arms pumping faster and faster. Once you get to the top, continue on increasing your speed as much as possible.
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
