It's as with anything what kind of skiing, weather, skiier. These all make a huge difference. If you just want something generic the hell buy anything. If you really want something good be more specifc. I ski black to double blacks, in a lot of heavy weather in an average tempature of 5 degrees etc etc.

As a better question get a better answer. I have 2 pairs of gloves and one pair os mittens all for different stuff just to give you an example. And I use them all.

Blue or double blue. I'm not up to black yet.
I've been to Utah, upstate NY and Poconos. I'd like to visit Colorado this winter.

I'm not a hardcore skier so I don't need something expensive, I just want to make sure they don't fog up within minutes.
As for gloves I'm looking for something like this http://www.born2becool.com/uploads/290_8328375.gif
There's two straps, one for tightness and the other to keep the snow from getting in. The stores I've been to had three dozen pairs and they all looked identical.

It's hard to predict the weather because I go skiing when I travel so the atmosphere is different.
 
Oakley A-Frames are pretty nice. Great lens. You need to handle them carefully though as they tend to scratch easily.

As far as gloves, anything made by Marmot is going to be top-notch. Definitely don't go cheap with gloves. The extra money spent is WELL worth it and they will last you a long time and not fall apart. It's best to get some that are made with Gortex material which will keep your hands the driest and that the liners can be removed.
 
Easy- next time you're at the slopes, go to the 'lost and found'. Bam. New goggles.

reminds of the time when i was at a waterpark...and my shoes got stolen....so i had to take somebody elses shoes..cause noway i wallking around barefoot all day....i wonder who got stuck with the hot potato and had to walk home barefoot.....
