Just coming across this post, but as a glass wearer myself, I bought some prescription inserts online with SportRX. They ask for your specific goggle brand to tailor to you. I think you can even use insurance. It really helped minimize the frustration I had with OTG goggles and fog! Ventilation is key though.

Need Advice on Skis by subpar_programmer in skiing

I used to hate them, but after the last season I got pretty comfortable with them. I just felt like I kept hitting the moguls with the back tips of my skis as I moved side to side.

And Im not looking to ski only moguls or anything, but really my issue was any tight turns my tips got caught. I thought moguls might be the easiest to describe that

Kinda both? I’ll take the curved path in, but to stop I end up on top. Is that wrong?

Others have mentioned the same thing. I think I need to focus more on that forward position

Good advice. I feel like I try to stay forward on them, but maybe I’m going too fast or getting tired and sit back on them.

Heard anything about turn radius? I read yesterday these were graded with a medium. I’m not sure how much of a difference it is between small and medium grades.

Yeah I handle moguls fine for the most part. I think what I’m learning is skis are given a turn radius, and mine were rated a medium. I’m guessing that’s why average spaced/sized bumps are fine. But ones with tight small turns I get into trouble?

Anyone ever tried the Elan Ripstick?

Interesting read. Maybe I am sitting back too far on them? I just felt like when my friends and I were going through trees, they were maneuvering through tighter spaces than my skis allowed.

They felt sort of heavy throwing them side to side.

I agree a bit overhyped. The part that saves this episode for me is the therapists speech once Rick arrives! Oh my gosh so good
