Same, I keep mine on all the time. Not only because thats the only lens I have, but I like it. I think I'm going to a hi persimmon or a blue iridium.

i'm going to upgrade my flat/low light goggle with a Hi Intensity Persimmon lens, so you can confirm it's a good choice?

Well I think it is a good choice. I have been skiing with this lens for the past 2 years and they are great. What I like about them is that you can ski in all kinds of condition with them cause they are good for low light but they are also good when the sun comes out a bit. I also use them at night and they do a good job.

Just get HI Persimmon it does everything extremely well, I skied 80 days in a row last season and they were great. Pink Iridium is another good option though.

There will always be days when visibility is poor and there is jack shit you can do about it. HI yellow is gonna help a bit but its not worth having imo.
