Ski Goggles

Is amber ok for day and night skiing?

Your best bet is to get a pair of goggles that have easy to change lenses... Amber is good for cloudy days & light snow plus will often help with flat-light conditions as long as its polarized, but when its snowing heavily or for night skiing you'll want a clear lens. Also amber just isnt't dark enough for really bright sunny days when you'll want grey or dark green.

It's not optimal for all conditions, but I've found it to be okay if you're not a hardcore skiier.

Should be OK. I have some amber goggles that work in the direct sun, and haven't had a problem skiing when it's cloudy/snowing. Never tried skiing at night, though.

Absolutely! Although.. I usually just use goggles for cloudy, snowy days and because of this, I chose Amber. Amber brings out the detail in the snow in flat lighting when you could be looking at moguls the size of VW's and not even see them otherwise without the goggles.
