Night Skiing/Boarding and goggles

I have never boarded at night and wondered if I needed to get a different lense for my goggles. I will be wearing contacts and will need to wear my goggles at night. My current lenses are yellow, should I get a clear lense to take with me?

Thanks in advance

Basically the same gear you'd wear during the day but with another layer underneath ... it's damn cold at night.

If you've got yellow tinted goggles you should be okay, but the darker ones might be a bit restrictive, the run is well lit, but no substitute for daylight, so there may be dark spots, especially if a bulb or two has gone.

Good thing is, it's a lot quieter at night, so less people to avoid.

Boro - outside Rila Hotel. If you look at web cam on JustBorovets.com from about 4.00pm our time, you can see the lift going up and watch the night skiers. You just have to dodge the sledgers at the bottom of the run.
