I always wear glasses, not a great lover of goggles but when its really cold and white conditions goggles usually are a better bet. You can always buy in the resort

I always carry both in case conditions deteriorate.

Glasses are better when it's fine but when conditions close in....

Have also found that when wearing a helmet, when goggles are up, they don't get steamed up like when you wear them over a wolly hat.

I'm with you guys if you take both you can't go wrong but make sure you buy goggles with double lense that way they won't mist up nothing worse mate...

I never used to be a fan of goggles until i bought a good pair with double lens, now i always wear goggles!! if your goggles do get steamed up just rub a bit of washing up liquid/ liquid soap on the inside- this provides a film and they dont get steamed up!!!

buy double lense to begin with, I bought single last year and had to upgrade this year to double due to bad visibility.... to be honest though the goggles in the resorts are really good value so you could hang on and get some when you get there - but def.... double lense

Glasses are best for perfect days. Goggles are better for poor days, off piste and when its very cold they give your face more protection. Then different conditions warrant different lenses. I carry a pair of sunglasses and goggles. Sunglasses with strong lenses for those bright sunny days and goggles with less light blocking lenses, for those horrible days. You really do need to buy a good pair of goggles if you want goggles though. I would recommend investing a bit more money to get decent ...
