re: goggles or sunglasses?
went to borovets last xmas as 1st timers,me and the wife both used sunglasses and the daughter used goggles,i think the glasses were fine, if the snow is there you will have a great timere: goggles or sunglasses?
hi only been skiing a couple of times but goggles are definetly betta as they dont fall of or break when u crash.

yo norma;;y find people wear glasses when it's sunny but if the weather closes in and snows heavy goggles are betterI take both for this reason although this year I have bought a small pair of goggles that look like glasses!!! so trying them but will take old ones just in case

Goggles if it's snowing or the wind is up but make sure you get anti mist double skin type, otherwise sunglasses are fine and look much cooler.But if your a spectacle wearer and can't / dont use contact lenses then prescription sunglasses or reaction lenses as goggles which allow you to wear glasses under them are gross (in my opinion).

Use sunglasses for sunny non-windy days and goggles for blizzards and very cold temperatures.re: goggles or sunglasses?
Hi
As stated above, sun glasses when its fine weather, googles when its snowing. So if you can take both. If your on a budget, just take sun glasses, as you probally already have some.
If you buy googles, you must get double lens ones. These wont mist up. Being first timers, ski school can be very stop start, which iswhen googles tend to mist up the most. With single lenses, youll find they mist up every time you stop or fall off, then you ski off again with obsured vision.

Also as above, so called "over the glasses" googles tend to be huge, youll feel like your skiiing in a scuba diving mask.
After saying all this, I ware sun glasses whatever the weather, cause I find googles to claustraphobic!
Enjoy your first time, youll love it!

re: goggles or sunglasses?
Went skiing last febuary-very good i used glasses when it didnt snow and goggles when it did so best to buy yourself a cheap pair. People say the goggles don't brake but i was involved in a crash and boy did i have a nice crack on them
