Check tramdock every once in a while, goggles pop up all the time for cheap. Go to shops and try some on, alot of goggles fit differently and some may not be comfortable because they don't fit your face.

Pretty much all the answers here will be Smith I/O or Oakley Crowbars.  Just look on the internet for some, they're both good, comfy goggles.

I personally think I/Os are way better though, and I got a pair off Tramdock for $47.

Damn, that's a steal!!
I'm gonna have to agree with him though...I/O are definitely the way to go.

I/O end of story, I have I/Os and Crowbars and the interchangeable lenses and better peripheral vision make them far better

I haven't tried I/O's but I've never been disappointed in either of the two pairs of C-Bars I have owned.

I just got I/O's. I haven't skied in them yet but they are extremely comfortable and the peripheral vision is amazing.

Another great choice would be Elecrtric's EG2 or EG2.5. I almost got a pair but they are a little too big for my taste. Plus the I/O's came with two lenses as opposed to just one.

I had I/O's and they fit ok but didn't fit either of my helmets at all. I was left with huge goggles gap. I have a pair of crowbars and a pair of splices and both fit perfect with my helmets and fit better than the I/O's. Just my .02

I've had I/O's for the past 2 years, and they're pretty much the best goggle I've ever had.  Super light, super stylin, + they come with 2 lenses.....I think i might be trying some dragons or anons this year though.

You should definitely look into some scott fixes, amazing goggle, dont pinch your nose like c-bars, and they never fog. The lenses on them are really good for all light conditions. I think these and the I/Os are your best bet.
