I am currently chilling out in Vermont, USA and today we saw snow for the second time in a few weeks. Its not settled on the lower ground yet but it can be seen clearly up in the mountians.

This can only mean one thing…… It’s almost time to dust off your ski’s and snowboards and hit the mountain.

I love boarding and when I first went struggled immensly with finding some decent ski goggles to fit over my glasses frames. I did eventually find a new pair but after a few hours riding they still made my glasses digg uncomfortably into my nose.

Then a friend put me onto the idea of using prescription ski goggles. I can honestly say this is a fanastic solution. It sure beats being blind on the hill!

Prescription ski goggles can be purchased at a very expensive price for your exact prescription. However there is a much more affordable option where you can purchases googles for a range of prescriptions normally in .5 steps.

My last purchase of Goggles was as simple as looking up the numbers and hitting the purchase button.

In many cases your favorite brands can be found with modified lenses and you can get all the benefits or normal ski masks.

Make sure you bring glasses to the hill though…. Otherwise you will have to wear the Googles all the way home!
