> Can anyone give some advice on ski goggles?  

I too vote very strongly for double lensed goggles.  If you sweat a
lot like I do when I ski, you may still want to get some no-fog
materiel.  The stuff that comes with Smith goggles isn't very good.
I picked up a block of waxy stuff that smells like moth balls that
works great.  The brand name was Monte Cristo but I'm sure that
changes from place to place.

On color, I have rose and yellow.  The rose is for bright, high
contrast conditions.  The eye is most sensitive to certain
wavelengths in the yellow region.  The yellow lens enhances these to
increase visibility in dim, low contrast conditions.  Thus rose for
sun, or high clouds, yellow for night and fog.
