Actually, the goggles that I use are less restrictive than sun glasses.
I buy mine in Germany, but similar ones are available here - and ski
goggles are everywhere.

However, the best view comes through a clear plastic bubble - which I also
use upon occassion (when it is snowing or just plain real cold).  It 
gives you better vision than any other combination.
