I Look Like a Raccoon

So after 3 days of constant riding for about 6 hours plus a day, I come back home to Orange County with a dark goggle tan, looking like a raccoon. Everyone I bump into stares butI don't know about you guys, I wear this thing like a badge of honor. Just screams I am a skier. Anyone else feel the same?

I went out to Colorado for the last week in February. I came back and had the biggest goggle tan. We had bluebird almost every day. I got back and all the skiers were like sick tan nd the non skiers were like ur a faggot. but i love the goggle tan so i told them to kiss my ass.

I have a raccoon face to and enjoy it. I went to Florida for a vacation and a waiter asked me why my face looked like that.

its tough but you can make it happen.

to the thread creator, on the rare occasion that i get a goggle tan in wny, i too wear it as a badge of honor. theres nothing like a goggle tan that says "im a legit skier" hahaha

I have a giant one right now. Any C-Bar users think that their goggle tan looks like a big beard? Mine does.

How did you go about getting a dark circle around your eyes and keep your face white, like a Raccoon.  Did you wear just a bandanna around your face without goggles?

p.s.... imho goggle tans are for gapers who want to try as hard as they can to be skiers.  I accidentally forgot sunscreen for the first time in the last 7 out of 8 consecutive days and I am pissed!
