hey so up untill recently ive never worn goggles just because..well i didnt have any but now that ive got some i dont really like to wear them because the lenses make everything look ugly. well thats my personal opinion. i mean would you rather be looking through the eyes of an oompa loompa or seeing the perfectly white snow with the sun glistening on it? Anyways, if anyone knows some goggles/lenses that are clear and not colored id appreciate it. Thanks

i cannot ski without my goggles down. its impossible. even on the lift i wear them. and you can get clear lense for every goggle produced, and i mean every goggle. i have some old uvex's from like 1993 with clear lenses if you want them. they are like a 3x8 square over your face. no scratches

you must wear some kind of eye protection. Clear lenses will not cut it on sunny days, the reflection from the snow is damaging to your eyes. Oakley and smith offer the most optically correct vision.You will not have any problems with definition from any of their goggles.

Yeah, eyes adjust after a couple minutes, and then I don't go blind. Yay.
Gogs are really important, how can you get by without wearing them? You must not get blizzard windy days or go fast when it snows.

Skiing without goggles is horrible for your eyes. If you crash, you'll have no protection for them, and at altitude, there are more uv rays, so damage to your retinas is not out of the question. Not to mention if you go fast your eyes will start drying up. At least wear sunglasses.

Basically it's just a bad idea to not have goggles.

I forgot about that! That's by far the best part about wearing goggles. It's like having a tattoo saying that you're a skier.
