For uber bright days get Fire iridium and for uber low light get a High Intensity Yellow lense.

This, or get dark grey for the sunny lens. It's so much cheaper, you can pick one up for under £30.
I got one for my splices for £24 from http://www.pro4sport.co.uk/outdoor/shopexd.asp?id=18771&bc=no
delivery took a while but it was legit. There are a few bad reviews, but if you don't mind waiting for 2ish weeks then it's well worth it.

If you are talking about Low light condition as cloudy days I would recommend Hi intesity yellow. If you are talking about night skiing, I recommend Clear. And for sunny days, I always use my grey polarized and i love them, but fot the price and the quality I would choose the fire iridium.

A really good lense for everything is the pink iridium, I would choose that one if you have to pick only one.
