If you could ski with one eye, which one would it be?

one of your eyes will be destroyed, you can choose which one to save, but you can only see out of it for skiing.

left or right?


(sorry to make a hypothetical about this if there is anyone actually going through this right now)

same here, obviously, but then I started thinking about how that would actually play out... I think I'd want my left one so I could spot shit sooner when spinning to the left (which is how I normally spin)

i think i could go without left. my eyesight is worse in my left anyways and have rode in a halfpipe comp with only my right lens in (judging distances was fun). (dont feel bad about making the thread for me im interested what people say and their reasons).apart from right being better than left, mainly as i spot switch turning my head right and spin switch right.

i feel that my vision is better in my right eye but my depth perception is better with my left so i'll go with my left
switch would be really hard tho...

Right eye, my left eye is so nearsighted it is silly...very weird depth perception without my glasses or contacts when I'm out skiing.

Considering I have an eye condition that leaves me with 20/100 vision in my left eye and 20/20 in my right, the choice is easy.

Left
I look over my left shoulder when I ski switch, I spin left so I could spot my landing more early.

But would like to have my right eye for everything else than skiing.

But I love skiing so left.
