Got these on my last ski expedition. I happened into a store where they were on unbelievable discount. Light conditions that day were very poor. Overcast and flat. The terrain was very hard to read with my Smith's with Persimmon lenses. I bought these and bam! I was able to see every detail. What a great way to get into my first Oakley goggles! My only concern is that HI blue might be too bright for sunny days.
