If you’ll ship on my dime I’ll take them. I have a few students on the nordic team where I work that can use them.Quote:

another very enjoyable green wax day.
Past three days in central Vermont have been incredibly good. Packed cold powder and blue sky. Today was absolute perfection, lots of vacation week folks getting out. Sunglasses are fine people, leave your goggles for Killington!

last one tonight before the snow gets reset back to august levels.
What's the go to for low light glasses that don't fog badly? My area has been pretty tight and humid this winter and I'm sick skiing in amber sunglasses and that are 50% fogged.
Bollé makes a photochromic lens that goes from clear to fairly dark. They're great!

My experience with photochromatic lenses is that the reflection from the snow and the cold temperatures makes them too dark when there is low light. Are these different somehow?Quote:

Oh, that's probably a good catch. They might be pretty dark on more open ski slopes. I use them a lot skiing groomed trails in the trees and they seem to not adjust dark too much. Especially now when the sun is low.
Later in the year, when the sun gets higher, they may not be as clear.

The Julbo ones work well and have a range to choose. At least 7 of us use them in the Methow.Quote:

I always keep a pair of these in my pack. I usually wear polarized sunglasses but if the light fails and it's snowing hard, these are nice to have. 15 bucks, w no fog. They will fog in some conditions but their better than most. They come in a bunch of lens colors

The amazing Diggins won back-to-back events this weekend in the Tour de Ski in Toblach, Italy: her first-ever classic WC win today (15km mass-start), after winning the freestyle sprint event yesterday. She races in the 20km freestyle on Tuesday.
FKNA!

Any favorites for 20 degree weather jackets? I got a Dhaehlie Power Jacket for X-mas, but the fit is pretty restricting even on my relatively thin build. It's a combo of softshell and some light chest insulation.
I assume you will be skating groomed track like the devil is on your tail
with a warm yurt/hut/vehicle waiting for you at the end?

Of course.Quote:
