Go to a major hardware store near a ski mountain, they should carry kinko's gloves. they will keep you warm as hell, only cost about 20 bucks, and will certainly hold up to a rope tow

lined leather working gloves are ill, if you treat them with the right products they'll even be quite waterproof...

i have Blackdiamond Kingpin gloves, full leather, but if you're looking for cheap, i bet something like this is almost equally good !
