depends on if your goggle lens needs to be changed... i know thats really blatent and simple but you should be able to tell when it needs changing. I've had them last anywhere in between a month and a year, they can probably go longer but i like a new lense everyonce in a while.

and for contact users...

Wearing Ski Goggles Over Contact Lenses

Because contacts can be problematic on the mountain, there are a few things to consider to ensure the most comfortable skiing experience as possible. First of all, keep your goggles on as much as possible because the heat from your body will keep your eyes moisturized and comfortable. If you remove your goggles while on the mountain, your eyes will be exposed to the cold air and wind, and they may become dry.

If you get dry eyes, you may want to consider taping the bottom vents of your goggles shut. The constant venting may take moisture from your eyes, leaving them dry. Excess moisture should still be able to escape out the top vents on your goggles. Always keep eye drops in the pocket of your ski jacket as you may need to apply them when you're at the top of the mountain.

and if you want them to last agesssss

Always store them in the soft bag they came with. If they did not come with a bag, purchase one. Never just throw your goggles in your gear bag or they will risk getting scratched and damaged. Always keep them in a soft bag when not in use. If you lose the bag, you can wrap them in a fleece neck warmer.
Only clean your ski goggles with a soft cloth.
Try not to touch the lenses when handling your ski goggles.
When putting goggles down, make sure lenses are always facing up.

ohh I forgot to add, I lost a nice set of glasses on the slopes on a nasty fall, I looked for them for about an hour and never found them. That was the day that I decided to stop wearing glasses. Now I ride either with nothing or goggles, I am not sure why, but I every goggle I try on is uncomfortable but they serve their purpose well.

Could be the sensitivity around your face. My brother has the same issue, he hates goggles because there uncomfortable for him, except for one lucky pair. I have problems with helmets, even when i play around with the padding , it still feels either too loose or too tight, but thats a different story.

Always, always goggles when I ride. Except for certain circumstances when I'll just wear nothing at all (goggles or sunglasses.) That's only when it's nice out and I'm just doing easy riding though.

I've never worn sunglasses for boarding. Seems like a skier thing.

Then again, when I'm not riding I wear sunglasses a lot. My favorites are a pair of white framed Dolce and Gabbana aviators. Actually they're fake but w/e I got them for cheap.

WHOO go bootleg sunglasses! I love my silver aviators, no idea what company they scammed , only $15 at my local mall though, so it was worth it. I do have an expensive pair of aviators (about $140) but they broke the first time I ACCIDENTALY sat on them. Both lenses popped out and the frame snapped in one section. However, my cheap aviators have been through absolute hell and I adore how I can just bend them back into place.
