I use OTG goggles and have no problems. Just bought a new pair this past summer. You may want to try on several different models until you get the right one that works for you.
I am not recommending this because I dont have any personal experience using it, but there is another option that a friend of mine is utilizing and he swears by it. A helmet with a face shield. I forget the brand and I believe they are expensive, but they do cover your whole face so they also protect from wind/cold. they look like motorcycle helmets.
A friend got one of those for their kid. It's great until you wipe out in soft snow and the whole inside of the shield fills with snow.

If it was cheaper I would be tempted by this helmet:

I demoed a face shield helmet last year. I felt that it was the most dangerous setup I had ever warn. It was a "mango" brand I think. It haf so much air flow through it that my eyes kept watering nonstop. It had a foam gasket thing to stop air against my face but it sucked.
That's the one i'm talking about.
and considering its a helmet and goggles, the price isnt that bad.
I dont understand, because you get snow on your face???

I just read some reviews, and the people who aren't whoring for free products to write about on their blog did not have good things to say. Apparently the shield does not stop the wind at all and your eyes water.

I was given one free of charge. And I have nothing but bad things to say.
I returned it as I wasn't willing to wear it.

Ditto. The only reason I wear contacts is to wear ski goggles and sunglasses.

Get these. I have been happily using them for a few years now. They look less odd with grey lenses.

I've had great success with Smith Turbo Fan goggles with their prescription inserts. Not cheap, but nothing related to prescription glasses is. They rarely fog and if they do I just turn the fan to high and it clears right up.
