But before that, I would like to hear some feedback!

Any advice or tip, what to change or improve would be awesome!

as a sticker itll be tough to put places due to the upright shape of it. on helmets and such the top letters are pretty much going to be rendered unreadable. i would suggest a more horizontal design

Agree, but it is quite difficult to imagine a skiier in horizontal position. It doesnt have to be so big that it will not fit anywhere.. And almost all stickers are in horizontal, no?

Please know that I am not trying to be a douche, and none of this is intended to be passive aggressive or anything, but what exactly is your goal for this? You have text which obviously has a meaning, a skiers face, but what is the intent of the skis?

The goggles have some areas for improvement. I think that (personally) I would smooth out the curve on the bottom portion of the goggles where they go back in to meet the face. I would also make the goggles "hollow" so that there is only a border along the frame and the "lens" so to speak is white.

Just my 2¢

Yes, text means something, a skiers face and the skis are the body of the skier.
Or am I the only one who sees it?

Okei, most of you guys think the goggles are gnarly and shape of logo is akward.

i think you should remove the skis completely, for two main reasons... first of all, it's too tall, as others have said, and also, you shouldn't have a logo where it ends on the edge of the frame... like, you shouldn't have the skis just stop at the bottom, because if you made it into a sticker or put it on something, it would just be like, a pair of skis, then a flat bottom, it would look bad. so, you should just get rid of the skis. otherwise, it's sick...

Okey, but what should you recommend then? what should I do with the skis?
Because the SKIS will express the idea of skiing. Otherwise it could be snowboarders logo aswell..

Or maybay I should connect the skis with the upper part??

What i mean with easy to forget is that it isnt very creative, Shark energy drinks for example has a very simple yet very creative logo. Make something with lots of colors

just don't worry about the skis? just take them out for good. don't worry if it looks like a snowboard logo, your audience will be able to tell if it's a skiing logo based on what you use it with.
