Does anyone else think that skiing with goggles is overrated?

Sup NS? So i have been skiing a lot at hood recently (in the winter and summer) and i have been skiing without goggles and i have found that it is much more effective. Even when it is snowing i like the feeling on my eyes. Goggles just get in the way and are kinda pointless. I feel like people who wear goggles just do it to 'be cool' or for 'style' and 'ease'. All you 13 year old kids with your wisdoms and shit are just trying to look like gangbangers. I can really relate goggles to other stupid trends like double tips and long shirts.


Just my thoughts? What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Jibba

Yeah dude I feel the same way...one time I was skiing at jib academy...rockin some jibberish and like I started havin seks with my goggles and was like goggles are totally overrated while filled with spooge...like it's jus for fashion...so I went to chuck them into the woods and this groundhog popped out that was like totally six inches tall and then I did this totally rad 180 over the groundhog in front of the jib academy and they were so impressed that they automatically let me graduate and gave me some cool jibberish and a special award and stuff and I knew it was because of how cool I was gettin rid of my splooge goggles and how I did a 540 bonk over that groundhog and totally killed it ya know?

The only time I don't ski with goggles is at night, or when I'm hiking and they get fogged up, but skiing all the time during the day is just stupid, so that must mean your stupid ya duumbo troll

Wow, Newschoolers has really disappointed me.  This guy is a clear troll, and we are STILL responding to him as if he was serious.  Good job troll, you have just proved that the average Newschooler has an IQ of <90.

Well ya if you live in a place where you can never ski faster than the average gaper then you don't need them.

So you are either a shitty skier or a troll. Pick one.

It looks like someone forgot a period while correcting someone's grammar. I'd shut the fuck up if I were you.

Wow, that is one of the lamest attempts to appear intelligent that I have come across. Also, saying "I personally like my Oakley splices..." is in no way incorrect. You make a valiant effort my dear troll, but to fully immerse yourself in the feild of "grammar naziism"  you must first drop out of a first year English course; being in a psychology, or possibly philosophy class would also help you on your way under the bridge.

happy future trolling =D

Last few replies havebeen sort of off topic but t o get it back I personnally have a mixed opinion on them I use them a bit for style but way more for performance I hate skiin in the mountains when I forget them I get absolutely snow blind or if it's bitterly cold out or snowing they shield your face but at night or in the evenings I like to ditch the goggles.

I believe the proper response would be ...

"I'm the hypocritical fuck? You're a retard. You obviously know nothing about grammar or skiing on that note. I am graduating from Jib Academy this fall. Can you say the same for yourself."

All you are and will ever be is a hypocritical mongoloid.

Skiing with legs is so over rated ski with your arms, it gives you realy nice feeling when you know you can't nut yourself on the rail!
