Yeah dude, thats a bitch.  If you can, go into the lodge, use the hand dryer to force the water out, other wise shake them out a bit on the lift to get the air moving.  If neither of those things work, your screwed for the day as far as I know, just gotta let them dry out.

That happened to me too and it ruined a pair of my googles cuz it got huge water spots in between the lenses and I couldn't see anything with them.

sorry bro, but that means the seal between the double lens broke
even if you get the water out is will keep coming back and fogging
get new lenses

You could, but you could also get a new lens out of this off of warranty.

And to you, lenses would be fogging as soon as you put them on in the cold if it weren't for the double lens. Like immediately.

1.) always keep an extra pair on your dash board so they stay half warm in the sun if you are that luckey.

2.) condensation can occur from aggressive temp. changes like sitting on the heater then going outside on a cold day, or sitting in the car all night then throwing them on before you go out. or obviously if they are full of sweat from the day before.

3.) if you fucked all that up take the lens out and shake it, use the hand dryer, put it on the heater in your car, just blast them with air to get the moisture out. then make sure the frame is dry and make sure you let it cool back down to room temp. before you go back out.

4.) if you dig it and your goggz fill up with snow get as much out as possible before you put them back on because snow is easier to get out than water, tap them against stuff to get it out because just wiping it creates friction and that melts water which gets inbetween lenses.

bottom line is keep two pairs dry at room temp. and this is not a problem you will have to deal with.
