I used to ski with clears all the time when I used to night ski at Sundown as a kid. Now they are a slightly orange tint.

too bad you can't demo goggles like you can demo skis. i'd happily pay more $$ if i found a pair that worked well for me.

and on that note . . .

I ended up getting Smith I/O's. I like 'em a lot but I think a need a darker shade for those really bright days.

When you ski through NE glades you're going to be taking shots to the face and that's probably a guaranteed scratch. I put my hands up a lot but there are still some that sneak through.

+1

when you are going through tight trees, you truly appreciate your goggles and helmets.

Just picked up some brand new Oakley Splice goggles for $60. Got a standard and polarized lense for an additional $40.

Paying wayyyyy under retail during the offseason sales... Priceless.
