do u guys wear goggles when u ski? do u wear them all the time or only in park or only in mountain? I dont wear them cuz when i wear them i cant use pereferial (sp?) vision. so then i have to look to my left, right, down and so on. I find it very frustrating and i tend to loose my concentration. and i fall. does this happen to u? and do u wear goggles for skiing? or do u just kinda whear them on ur head and use them when u go through the blowers?

I always wear goggles, reguardless of whether it's a bluebird day, or a flat day and snowing. If I take them off, my eyes water up when I get speed, and that sucks. Mabe you just have bad goggles, I can see pretty much everything with my arnettes.

My eyes water like crazy if I don't wear goggles, it kinda sucks. Sometimes I don't wear them when I'm hitting rails and its nice out.

I always wear goggles on snow, or the snow blinds me. Plus they stop your eyes from watering at speed. I wear dragons, sick goggles.

A Frame vidion is good laterally, but not good looking down. But I always wear goggles to ski with, even at night. I have clear lenses for that. The wind makes my eyes water too much and I end up looking liek a pussy cuz i'm crying after I fall, but it's just the wind.

ive got some pretty nice scott's. but i ussualy wear them when im doing something like a hit or a rail im not sure but i think im the opposite of you. not having perefial vision keeps me way more focused and i dont get distracted by anything.

wow. no one has mentioned wisdoms. i can totally tell a difference from my wisdoms, and A frames. my wisdoms have way better perepheral *sp* vision than my A frames and they are comfy. kinda pricey if you cant find a deal on em

the wisdoms have amazing peripheral. I have the fire lenses so its awesome when its sunny but at night its not so good. With goggles its harder for me to see the transition in the snow so sometimes i'll take them off.
