Unless this simulator is not having wipe out feature and throws you off the skis I’d prefer the real thing because there is nothing more fun than having couple of broken legs. So I can sit and relax in my cozy bean bag chair. Just kidding!

Now you don’t have the face the cold! When you get the chance to show off your skills on the slopes, make sure you take lots of pictures. You could even add them to your Christmas cards this year.

These ski goggles use electronic optic technology developed for Air Force pilots that adjusts the tint of the lenses from light to dark at the touch of a button, providing flexibility, comfort, and safety for skiers and snowboarders while ensuring exceptional image clarity.

Perfectly compatible with helmets, the goggles completely eliminate the need to carry multiple pairs of goggles with various tints in order to adapt to changing light conditions. Its unique LCD-like VALiDâ„¢ lens construction permits the tint to change from light to dark in as little as 1/10th of a second when the internal liquid crystals are activated by two included CR2032 batteries that provide up to 200 hours of use.
