I cant imagine snowboarding without goggles. If you go at any reasonable speed your eyes will hurt like hell from the wind.
The only time i ever take my goggles off is if out of nowhere it gets really really foggy at the top and im having problems seeing..then i just pop them off for a moment to try and get a better view of whats around me...

I had my goggles severely fog up on me once while at the top, like i couldnt see crap. That was probably the worst experience i've ever had snowboarding...going down 100 feet at a time stopping and putting my my goggles again to see if i could see...i cant..take them off and try going another 100 feet before my eyes start to tear up...

Glad i had another set in the car..i would have just left otherwise.

Yeah goggles 100% of the time, except for backyard jib sessions. If I'm at a resort or in the BC, you can bet I'm going fast enough to make my eyes water without goggles. Plus I love my goggles, the lens quality is so good that I can always see better with them on, in any conditions.

Whats google? Never heard of that website...

This thread is full of crazy. I always wear goggles. There has never really been a time when they haven't served a purpose for me. They keep my contacts from drying out, they keep snow spray out of my face and protect my eyes from tree branches, they make it possible to see on sunny days and they give me that fantastic goggle tan I have come to love.

I never go boarding without my goggles.
