I have been skiing with a persimmon lens my whole life until yesterday. I have had the same goggles for 4 years so I thought it was time for an update, so I bought myself some dank crowbars with a fire iridium lens. During they day, it was unbelievably good, but night came and I couldn't see shit. So my question is: is it worth it to get a persimmon or hi intensity lens for night skiing?

True dat. At night there are no UV rays (don't quote me on that) so you don't need to worry about protecting your eyes from the snow and you can see a hundred times better.

clear lens for night all the way. I'm not a fan of the HI shit at night, not to mention clear lenses are relatively inexpensive. If you're skiing at night, you'll need something other than fire, or it will suck.
Fire for bright days, something like HI something for cloudy shit, and clear for night. Can't go wrong.

Well I go to school during the day on weekdays, and go skiing after which means its dark by the time I hit the hill. I will probably end up getting more lenses as time goes on but my pockets aren't too deep at the moment so I'm looking for the cheapest way to ski at night comfortably without wearing no goggles.

oh didnt realize your midwest. yeah, clear will work fine. if you make a lot of trips to real mountains youll wanna invest in the hi yellow instead though, because it will still work fine at night, but it will be really good for those days when its dumping and you have NO definition
