thats one of those things i've never even though about... i dont think i've ever seen someone ski with glasses under their googles.. but, i guess tons of people probably do.

i have a friend that snowboards with glasses under his goggles. you just have to try on the goggles with the glasses to find out which ones fit.

I use glasses under my goggles.. Scotts' sucks cuz both of your glasses and lens fogs up when you go in heated buildings. I'm gonna get new goggles soon..

One of my good friends that I ski w/ wears glasses under his goggles. He has some Scott goggles I think and they don't look huge. His one problem he has is that his glasses will fog under his goggles so he has to take them off anyways...

One of my pairs of glasses fit under my A-Frames easily, and my other pair fit alright. I've never skied like that though. Get some contacts - I wear daily disposables because I only ever wear them to ski or bike, they're cheap.

-i have to wear glasses for distance, but usually when i ski i don't wear them. I haven't hurt myself completely yet, but it is also dangerous to wear them under goggles cause if you land a trick badly and your goggles fly up your lenses can crack and a possibilty of getting glass in your eye is high. I would stick to contacts or go for percriptioned goggles-

u can get perscription lenses that basically are glued to the inside of ur goggle lens. i think it might be a lil spendy though.

lasik surgery. my dad got it, and he went from mostly blind to perfect with no downside except it takes like four days to heal. it is a little expensive, but not when you think about how it is an investment for your entire lifetime, and sometimes you can get insurance companies to cover it now. do it, it's awesome.

As said many times, just swoop some contacts..I've been wearing em since the 4th grade..I'm a senior now. they are pretty sick. go soft though, hard lenses suck balls.

Ive had glasses since I was 16 and I DO NOT ski in them... funny thing is I need them for distance but whatever. I know Adidas makes prescription goggles and sunglasses, and how they make thiers is it is a seperate pop in piece that looks like mini glasses its really cool, I used to have sunnies by them and I dont think that they are overally expenisive. Glasses and skiing are over rated I thought for 4 years withouth really being able to see my children.. whatever i finally got contacts. I just find that with my contacts my eyes get dry and water really easily. anyone else have that problem?
I do whatever my rice crispies tell me too.

Ya I dont have contacts for skiing so I just stick em under my goggles, I dont notice at all. The best goggles that ive worn for glasses is definatly the Scott Messenger or most of the Scott line. Ya ive crashed a lot with glasses under but I didnt do shit to em.

well, i honestly didn't read the pposts bacause i'm tired, but, anyway. My glasses are of normal size, and they fit under almost any pair of goggles. More important than finding gogs that'll fit over them (unless you're rocking elton john 1.5 foot glasses....) is getting gogs that vent well. Because your glasses will fog under your goggles if you go hot --> cold quick, or if you sweat alot. I normally just ski in straight up glasses, no gogs, unless it's snowing. It's not as bad as you'd think..... you really do get used to it. I've never been able to put contacts in, I just suck at it...... so glasses work for me.

Last year I got prescription Oakley sunglasses, so I usually wear those skiing now. They weren't crazy expensive either, as compared to other prescripton glasses/sunglasses.......

Good luck, and welcome to the 'I can't see shit now, bitches!' club.

2000 bucks or whatever it costs is way too much money for someone our age to spend on his eyes. get contacts for now cuz it's something you can actually finance, and get lasik when you're older and have gotten a real job outside of skiing so you can pay for it.

i've seen good skiers with glasses before, but i think contacts are def the way to go, as everyone else probably already said.

arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly

i rock the contact lenses, but honestly i dont think you really need glasses to see. the only thing you might need to see is a rail, but generally people dont have THAT bad of eyesite that they can't see rails... i had glasses for a while, and i just took them off when i skied. so i would guess that you either get contacts, or just dont wear them while you ski. underneath goggles would be soo uncomfortable
