Any of the top styles from Klim! Personally, I don't think one needs the $200 pair (if one relates warmth with price) for the mountains. I wear and really like the Towogtee but i have friends that wear them and say they are crap. So the ultimately the choice is yours:d:d:d

If you are going to the sled show, ther is a flea market on 50th , just the north side of the yellowhead. They have what look like knock off Klim, they are warm and stay dry MOST of the day. Thick style, for the 20$ they cost you can buy lots and never have an issue. I have worn them outside at -30 standing around and didnt get cold

I use the Klim Klimate gloves for the ride up and on really cold days but for 90% of my riding I have 2 pairs of the Inversion gloves and as long as your not digging around in the snow with them when your stuck they stay dry all day.

I have cabelas gortex gloves. Only like $45 and only one day they ever got wet enough I had to use the second pair. Very warm and so waterproof, and at a good price. My hands got cold a few times on the trail not using handwarmers, and no windshield/handguard wind protection. Standing up really great though, use them for everything in winter and no damage yet in 2 years.

Run your hand underwater and gloves are dry.
$79 and you don't need a second pair of gloves.
They will likely have a dealer at the show

Heard really good things about those, except that they are not that warm and on cold days or people who's hands get cold easy they are not good.

I have frozen my hands so many times they are so bad for getting cold, I had to find a glove that was really warm.

Myself and my daughter have used Mechanics gloves from canadian tire or bumper to bumper.

Excellent grip on the bars and dry really quick after a little heat from the bar warmers.

Always have a second pair on hand in the pack.

Where them at minus 30 riding the lakes and trails. Do not ever get cold.

Dang mechanics gloves? I wear them at -10 working on my truck and my hands freeze. Even at -5 I am wearing my big heavy gloves and hands ain't sweating at all. But I hate using the handlebar warmers.

Klim all the way. Never get wet hands again. I use fox biking gloves in the spring,

One glove to stay clear of is the castle gloves. they do not breath and stay wet even after them being on the register overnight. They get stinky too.

As you walk in the door there is a sunglasses stand or somethng , look straight through and you will see him , He has High-Viz vests, jackets, socks and all sorts of gloves , even get welding gloves. I probley have about 6 pairs floating around between sled, truck, quad and the house. I have 300$ gloves that i bought after an accident that leaves my hand with very little blood flow. The 20$ keep my hand warmer longer.

no problem with staying warm in these gloves. mostly because your hands do not sweat in them. all the moisture goes out of the glove.

Klim Togwotee, removable liners that dont seem to bunch up, good tall cuff keeps snow out, best for my buck. take out liners on warm days, great all round glove.
