Just moved to Revelstoke and need to get some new goggles! What kind of lenses should I look to get for the lighting around here (flat, cloudy, snows 24/7)? Ive heard the oakley pink iridium or their yellow ones work well, any opinions? "Searched" and found some similar threads but nothing coherent enough. +K guys, cheers!

Try out the Hi yellow, It was orignally designed for use here in whistler where we pretty much get cloudy, snowy, flat condtions all the time. Its a great lens for those dark days but is pretty overpowering when the sun does pop out.

I've lived and skied in foggy or wet conditions my whole life (NW Montana and then WA), and I swear by the Smith Sensor Mirror. It give you plenty of visibility, but doesn't destroy you when it lightens up a bit.
