Snow goggles used to be so simple: a tinted lens to block the sun, and a strap to hold it to your head. All we asked of the shades was that they wouldn't fog up, and that they'd keep the sun's glare from scorching our eyes.
Today, ski and snowboard goggles have more digital functionality than your first car. Now you can keep track of your speed, elevation and other stats right there on the slopes with in-goggle digital displays, record all your stoke-worthy achievements with integrated high-def POV cameras, and pair your goggles to your phone via Bluetooth, where they can interface with various apps.
We took four of the most tech-loaded goggles out for some runs at Squaw Valley, in the mountains near Lake Tahoe, and checked the specs. The good news: none of us went snowblind. — Billy Brown
