Depends on the day. Most of the time I'm using my Crowbars with Gold Iridium. If it's mad sunny out I use Wisdoms with the Fire Lens. The Gold Iridium works pretty well at night but if I only skiied at night I'd get the High Intensity Yellow.

So...... Haha.

Just base it on when you ski. If you're gonna be skiing all day do like pink iridium or something that can handle both high and low lighting well. If you're gonly doing night do high yellow or if only day fire. Oakleys site explains it too pretty good if you go there and look at the light transmission percents on the lenses.

If your skiing night and day at bristol I'd recommend getting the blue-sensor mirror lense (smith). It's sooo dope, works in everything. When it's super sunny out there a little on the bright side but how often is it bluebird during the winter in Rochester...

Those lenses suck. I remember a time that they caused you to stab yourself in the lef through the Silvers™. And I take no responsibility for you getting hurt while trusting my blinded line choice. Couldn't see shit. But the oakley gold irid lens was good enough to get me through without any stabs.

Basically my point in that... If you have Smith® lenses on a sleety day, you're gonna stab yourself in the leg. Oakley® lenses, you'll survive.

Bahahaha. That was so ridiculous. Dude it doesn't matter what lense you had in that situation. Screw Siver and Scott poles.
