Umm...probably not. The purpose of snowboarding goggles, is that the amber lenses prevent you from going snow blind from the snow. Unless we're riding in lots of snow, which I doubt, regular goggles are likely your best bet.

I did a DH ride in about 18-24 inches of fresh powder. Let's just say I spent most of my time going over the bars and sliding on my butt down the hill than I did riding down. Fortunately, it wasn't that bad.

WHy not? I wore mine two weeks ago up there in 80 degree weather. They worked great.

I grew up in New England. My advice is to stock up on wool, see swobo.com. Also buy some Dermatone for the face and lips.
