I would like to ask how many skiers are nearsighted?

I am nearsighted with astigmatism, and I previously met a skiing friend who has diplopia. It’s definitely a bit inconvenient for nearsighted people to ski.

I use disposable contacts when I ski. Sucks sometimes putting them in when getting ready in the car. I never looked into prescription googles, I'm sure someone makes them

I ski with contacts, I have a friend who skis in glasses and they fog up on him often.

I bought goggles that would fit over my glasses, and even tried prescription google inserts, but in each case the glasses kept fogging up so I switched to disposable contacts and couldn’t be happier
