This will sound super weird, dunno if you've tried it, but there is a special spray compound that scuba divers use to prevent their masks from fogging up due to the temperature difference between water/human skin. I've used it before in my scuba gear, seems to do an alright job.
There are commercial brands you can get off of dive shops or Amazon as well as a trick with glycerin. Apparently you can take a few drops on your lens, rub it around to all sides, then rinse and pat dry.

I hate that stuff....might be worth a shot in ski goggles though....I always use the trusty old spit in the dive goggles.
Also you could try band-aids. Place them on the foam in a place that they do not block ventilation. They release chemicals that block fogging

Ah I know, it kinda stinks from what I remember but I dunno how much it would help to spit in ski goggles. I think I'd try your bandaid idea before I tried the spit tho haha.
I think I used spit and the anti-fog gel the last time I used a scuba mask. I don't personally have my ski goggles fog up but I mean anything is worth a try instead of continuing to buy new lenses, that's gotta make the wallet cry a bit.

The new dragon goggles with the easily removable lenses, either the magnetic ones or the ones with the lever. My boyfriend sweats a lot as well and they work great cause he can pop off the lense and air it out with out touching the lense. They are kinda expensive but worth it he says!

Idk but pop the tops when you aren't shredding powder/it's not snowing
I work all the time on the mountain, also hike features a lot. If I didn't pop them I'd barely be able to use them. It works wonders. You up the ventilation capacity by 1 billion and still get all the I have goggles on so I'm not blind benefits.

Fuck the east coast. Honestly, I suck at park, but I can rip almost any trail here. Why can't I just be out west at this point? I sit here watching these deep pow days and hearing these crazy weather reports and I sit here doing nothing, but skating on ice. Fuck it, Im done, Im buying a plane ticket within the next month

Make do with what ya got for now. Get better at park. I am kinda jealous, not really, glad I grew up ripping pow in WA, but sort of jealous of kids from the Midwest who can just grease rail tricks 1st try. If I grew up somewhere that didn't have good terrain I'd totally be a park rat.

I really like the school that I go to- great academia, people, reputation, etc. But they make such a big deal out of grades, it's fucking obnoxious. You have to send us three emails before grades being posted about how grades aren't the end of the world... And then we have to attend a mandatory presentation about it the following day too? Good christ, I was perfectly fine until you started the suffocating process.

Yeah and when you look at how misguided and often wrong modern day civil rights/political correctness/SJWs are in 2017 (IE BLM acting like terrorists and killing cops) we are extremely lucky to have such great figure like Dr King who can always be the leader of this movement and stand for equality for everyone and isn't undermined by his own hypocrisy. I mean the civil rights movement would still be the right thing don't get me wrong but there would be far less credence in it if a race baiting idiot like Jesse Jackson or Malcom X was the defacto historical leader.

13778124:doublecup said:
we actually agree on something? word
In general I can't really talk shit about parks.
That said a mountain that I used to work at thinks that instead of building a cohesive park that fits the mountain and the people who ride it, building a giant possibly sketchy booter is what will bring people in.
They also completely half assed their rail jam setup with far more staff than I had. I think some of that was the huge focus on the jumps, again jumps that don't fit the mountain and most people there will not be able to ride.
There are some great kids there, that's why I returned even knowing it was probably a terrible choice. That said 67'(waiting to here the real number) is not something you put in your ONLY park. I believe the park has 4 rails and 4 jumps right now. So out of 4 jumps, 1 is almost 70 feet with no smaller option?
Also they're claiming on facebook. "biggest jump in the east". I would rather hit a well built jump in the 35'- 55' range than something not built as well. People were actually calling out inferno at mount snow. Those jumps probably are the best in the east consistently. at least in the top 3 every year for XL jumps if not. Mount snow has a ton of kids who kill it, yet inferno barely gets traffic. Most people are sending it through the medium and large parks.
So now a mountain that doesn't have that demographic, thinks that building a big jump, is going to take their park to the next level. Sure they'll be able to do a photoshoot and maybe draw in a few people(am I'm sure that's the plan) but come on guys.
That mountain should have anything over 40' 45' tops. Then again what the hell do I know. It's not like I pay attention to this stuff obsessively and build stuff for a living.
I was actually trying to stay stoked for them because I always love to see a park succeed, but if you're going to call somebody out who knows their shit, you better deliver on your end. A 67' jump is nothing more than a claim fest. And after seeing all their facebook posts, it's quite obvious that was the goal.
Idk, it just doesn't make sense to me. If you want to claim something, build a good park. You could build an 80' jump, or a 70' rail, and that doesn't mean your park is sick.
This is why even the biggest parks in the world have small stuff for noobs all the way up. These places put as much time into their small/medium stuff as they do the large/xl. These are places that host pro contests and have a extremely good people riding the parks on the regular. They still put the effort into the small/medium stuff because that's what most of the people are, and you need the progression.
I hate seeing mtns lost as far as parks, but it really gets to me when the same mountains are dicks about it.
Hoping they send some of their staff to cutters camp so they can learn what the hell is going on in this industry.

Also I forgot to note that said jumpline goes from 10, 20, 40, 67. That might be the most retarded progression I've ever heard of. lolWUT

People with retarded money arent the most jovial and are extremely dull ive come to learn. These people are also incredibly good at having tax shelters which is brilliant but also infuriating so ill always laugh whenever i hear them rip on poor people for taking advantage of the system. Same shit, different toliet. They just have more things than the poor.
Also hate any taxi/transportation/shuttle driver. These dudes are yahoos and are huge cunts and i dont feel bad for getting a driver blacklisted from all of our resort properties

putting a bunch of entry level riders on the knuckles of those jumps is a very weird idea.
that's two very hurt people and a probable upset family waiting to happen.

Its like having a ton of beginner featutes and then a dub kink stairset it maye be fun to ride all, but they dont blend and shouldnt be in the same park and def not the same line. Theres a reason parks have features within a reasonable range or at worst side by side options

Guests were soooo fucking annoying today. All the conversations I managed to overhear were just stupid. Also, a couple of guests behind me in line at the Big Easy were commenting on how ugly my uniform was...which is like...why? I didn't fucking pick to be a blueberry.

Thankfully work scheduled me for 6 days out of nowhere and 5/6 shifts are 5 hours or less and are right between the time I could go ski somewhere good and make it back for a closing shift. So looks like Im gonna be night skiing for an hour at my shitty hill this week, or use my yard rails....

is common sense not a thing anymore? like do people not understand the basic concept of weather impacting travel? chances are the roads are going to be pretty bad when you get 1-3ft of snow.

ITS SNOWING 3 INCHES/HOUR. WHY ISNT MY UBER DRIVER IN A FWD SEDAN WITH NO CHAINS/SNOWTIRES HERE.
2 of my roomates are dope. One is fresh, like fresh as fuck out of oakland. Came here cause his uncle cooks at snowmass. But Jesus this guy sucks.
First day I was here he was tripping and wandering around, in and out, knocking on peoples doors, having to get brought back to our room.
Drinks other peoples booze, and literally just looks in the fridge for food, but I don't think he's ever bought food.
Luckily he's a pussy and hates beer.
Blasts shitty music.
Idk not a fan. Not sure why the fuck he's in a ski town. Go back to Oakland.
