I'll be 59 on Dec. 7th of this year.
Goggle lenses.? Have to confess that it wasn't planned that way.? Sequence of events.
I love Smith Turbo-Cam goggles (fan to blow air through and defog glasses).? Three years ago bought a pair in Rose Copper? ?The goggles from the outside appear rose colored, from the inside they look like a shooter's yellow,. a contrast enhancing color, but for high light.? I think their light transmission is 40% or somewhere.? I like them a lot.
My older jacket happens to be a shade of red.
Last year I bought another pair with the Sensor Mirror lens, a great low-light lens (Ron may have these as well).? From the outside they look blue, again the yellow from the inside.? Light transmission is 65%?
This summer I bought a blue Killy jacket (because it was 50% off and I liked all the bells and whistles and white stripes and I knew exactly what color of pants I was going to wear with it).
Wasn't until yesterday that I realized the matching characteristics.? I actually use the Rose Copper for bright light days and the Sensor Mirror (blue) for low light days, but plan to wear the blue jacket most of the time.
Skill Wise:? I think I'll be ok, and I'm ok with skiing a different slope than some of you.? There may be a little snow plow the first day, but no stem christie, and I remember and my feet come up to speed pretty quickly.? After the first day or so, I can probably ski most blacks, but prefer blue or blue/blacks.? Don't have a bump technique and have little off trail experience. I may be the least skilled skier in the group, but that just means that I have the most room for improvement.
