I try to ride with moto gloves that have neoprene or some sort of windproofing element on the back of them. Another pair of gloves that work really well are Youngstown carpenter gloves, they make some that have gore-tex in em so they stay pretty dry (only $30). If i'm gonna be doing alot of digging though i have a pair of marine (blue ball specials) rubber gloves that i keep in the seat handy and i just slip them on whenever i know i'm gonna have my hands in the snow. They help keep everything dry. The biggest thing though that i think is important is a nice set of grips. Stock grips are the worst...
