New glove suggestions

I second the Hestra Glove the Heli ski glove specifically. www.backcountry.com/hestra-heli-glove

I have at least 120 days in them 3 seasons and are still going strong. If you treat em right they will last forever. I have worn just about every brand out there and I was hard pressed to get a season out of most of them.

For skinning, I use the OR Omni Gloves .  They're slightly thicker than most glove liners and seem ideal for warmer local temps.  Anything else is overkill and gets soaked from sweat.

When it's colder out, or higher up, I'm a big fan of the Firebrand Gloves .

A great value glove for dryer conditions is the EMS Work Glove .

Mitts are the warmest option but harder to ski with.  

If ropework is inevitable, the OR Stormcell makes a great 'liner' glove.  

In a normal season I tend to destroy at least two pairs of gloves, but here's what I like:

The OR stormtracker softshell is almost unbeatable for weather down to about 25ºF. My current pair is on season three and still looking pretty good. They aren't very waterproof, but at those temperatures nothing is.

I like BD glove's fit (fairly skinny/ longer hand), but they don't really last very long. The microfiberish nose wipe sections gets brittle and shatter into a nice cheese cloth after a few months of use. I've had this happen on two pairs of "BD punisher" ice climbing gloves and one pair of lighter "bd access" spring weight gloves over the last few years. At the time it was good economics to stock up and wear out a few pairs of those, and I think I still easily got my money's worth (S&C @ $30 a pair). My advice there is to avoid the models with that type of fabric.

Dang, I thought Arc'teryx were expensive!

This seems the same technology as Arc'teryx, though - and the fingers look like sausages too Since description says something about the Army - I guess these are what I heard about, I only thought it's Marmot...
