snowboarders do need different goggles, since the airflow around their face comes more from the side than it does skiers. make sure you type in 'snowboard goggles' when you do a google search, as 'ski goggles' will not suffice

couldnet be anymore right .. ski goggles have vents on the side because that is where the least amoun of wind is and snowboard goggles have vents on the top middle

We do turn our heads to face the direction were going too... Maybe not all the way but defentily close. I don't think it's a huge difference. I've seen snowboarders wear I/Os and such and have no problems, yet my new anons are labeled as specifically "snowboarding goggles" under uses on the label. Maybe you're right. Who would like to have a multipage debate with me about how the laws of physics affect goggles in blizzard conditions in 12 degree (f) weather at 922ft elevation, facing north on a mountain in northern Vermont during a low pressure system.
