Anyone never wear goggles?

I stopped wearing goggles a couple weeks ago after they covered up my face mid backflip (landed on my ass). I will wear sunglasses when it's sunny out, but for the most part, I never wear goggles anymore

I hardly ever wear goggles in the park. I just don't feel comfortable doing rails with the limited field of vision.

I never wear goggles, unless it is snowing, in which case I'll wear safety glasses

I wouldn't wear sunglasses... Almost lost my eyes after they shattered from an over rotated flip. I used to hate them but if you find a good pair that fits tightly and isn't too tinted it's almost like you're not wearing any goggles at all. But I'm not one to say what skiers should and shouldn't wear, use whatever you think is more comfortable/practical.

Early season is sunglass time, but as the year progresses I usually start to wear goggles more and more

I broke two pairs of goggles in the span of one week by landing on my face - I didn't buy goggles for about two years afterwards and just skied with sunglasses on. I find it's okay if you're just doing rails but if you're going into a jump at mach 10 it's difficult to see when your eyes are filled with tears (I don't know how Henrik does it).

I wore sunglasses all winter break. Even on the -10 day. Much better than goggles, way more comfortable, more vision, and looks cooler.

When I ski all day in my day lenses then it's night and I cannot see and I'm to lazy to put the night lenses in. I just put them on my helmet or around my neck.

If you find a pair of goggles that actually fit and have a good size of vision, you'll love them. I use mine almost every single day I go out, except during extremely warm spring laps which then I only use sunglasses and a beanie.

This. I hate it when my vision is just so much smaller with goggles.

I bought some new goggles last year and now I never wear them. They just sit on my forehead.

Fuck goggles.

They're big, clunky, and ruin your peripheral vision. The only time I'll wear goggles is if it's dumping out or if I'm training laps and getting sprayed by the person in front of me.

Otherwise, sunglasses work just fine.

I always wear goggles unless I'm hitting the brighton park at night, in which case I can't see anything in the park unless i take them off.
