I have some great SportHill pants that I use for everything during the winter. Looser than tights, but close-fitting at the ankle so I can use them for commuting. And they have pockets for quick trips to the store. Best of all, SportHill stuff comes in different lengths!
TE sells something similar to what I have: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSH_0680.html

Love my SportHill pants. I've got multiple styles with the windresistant fabric which is great in winter. Much more comfortable than a shell outer.

I didn't know that they made wind-resistant styles! Excellent- thanks for the heads-up!

In addition to Sporthill (a great suggestion), check out:
--Hind
--Craft
--Swix (yes, the wax co makes xc clothing, too).
--Patagonia
I have tapered, fairly traditional rise, semi-fitted pants in a variety of weights from both Craft and Hind, some with zippered pockets. Not super stylish but very functional.
It would also be worth checking out both the Title Nine website and the Athleta website, I think I've seen traditional tapered "track pant" style pants at both.
Some stuff here too:

And I LOVE Athleta's rise rating system! Wish everyone used it.

I plan on using them post bike this winter in snow for xc ski and snow shoeing. The fabric is awesome.
