    My eyes or around my eyes sweat and heavy breathing heates up the inside and its cold on the outside so we get fog.

    I was wandering if the double lenses would still fog in this situation.

    Seemore or less depending on the goggles.


    If your face tends to sweat a lot, you'll probably have some fogging issue even if you use double-lens goggles. This is especially an issue if you run a helmet and face mask/bandana. The helmet tends to overhang and block the top vents of the goggle, reducing airflow, and the face mask will trap the warm, moist air from your breathing and let it rise directly up into the lower vents of the goggles.

    If I'm cranking heat at the bottom of the hill after a hard run down, I'll lift the goggles up onto my helmet, even though the wisdom is "keep the goggles on your face". If I don't, they'll fog up in the lift line and ice up when they get cold at the top of the lift.

    Pulling the face mask away from your chin and lifting it (as opposed to pulling it down around your neck) can reduce breath fogging when you're doing up the bindings, catching your breath after hiking the pipe, etc. Shaun White does that with his everpresent bandito bandana.
  2. Teine opened on the 20th this year also, but they've been on the "weekends and holidays" bus schedule for early and late season since I can remember. They may be open during the week, but that's a fairly hefty cab fare away.

     

    If you don't have a private vehicle, the only place you can really get to in the early season on a weekday is Onze via their free shuttle from Miyanosawa, but Onze doesn't open every day - it's really "weather permitting" with them before the snow fills out in mid December.

     

    I guess if price wasn't an issue, on a weekday, one could catch a local bus to Jouzankei then taxi it up to Sapporo Kokusai.
