I live in Edmonton, Canada and during the winter months the temp can sit around -30 C so around -22 F for days and on the real nasty days the wind chill can climb it up to -40 C and up (also around -40 F), so will these gloves be able to stand up to the cold when doing simple tasks such as shoveling a few times a day, walking the doggies, and waiting at the bus stop because it 15 minutes behind schedule. If not What would you suggest, and one more thing, how well do they hold up on a good days worth of skiing?

I live in Edmonton too, and own these mitts. These are really great for keeping your hands dry when snowboarding in the mountains, but I use different mitts for around town here. These are really just a waterproof shell with a small glove that fits underneath, and don't offer a ton of warmth. If you just want something for shoveling snow at -40, I would look at a different (warmer) mitt, and not worry too much about the waterproofing, since it's so dry here in the winter.
