Ski goggles

[Stonehenge]

Anybody wear 'em when grading?

A local sod grower uses them when cutting. We just finished a large lawn today, and I was operating the Harley Rake. I think I got 4 shades darker by the end of the day, and my eyes are filled with dirt.

As far as I know they are NOT OSHA rated, so if something happened you could be in a world of hurt. The pair I have don't have the required OSHA number listed. Oh I don't ski but do run a 4 wheeler and they do help keep the mud out of your eyes.

Seems I would more likely be in a world of hurt by not providing them and having someone smack into something because they were temporarily blinded by dirt.

There are other safety eye wear that will work.

Jeff -

As an avid skier, I am completely offended with the use of ski goggles for anything but skiing! :cool2: :p

[site]

I have four eyes, two of them protect the others.

:cool: :cool2: :geek:

I think the middle ones are OSHA approved... ;)

Swatting a fly with a sledgehammer, eh? I think I like it. :woot:

As an avid snowboarder, I'm offended that the skier was offended about your creative idea for keeping the cob webs & rust from forming in the goggles while waiting for snow season. Poor things are sitting there all lonely & dusty in the corner & County doesn't want to let them out to breathe a little fresh, warm summer air. ;)

BRL - my nice Oakley's are in there soft case, no problems man. And I do have to confess, I learned how to snowboard last year towards the end of the season. I think I will be doing more and more of that this year. I always heard that once learn you don't go back to skiing, but never believed it, but I see now that it is true.

We got to get Stonehenge out snow boarding. He would look cool with that hat that he always wears. Maybe he can post a pic of it. Everybody recognizes him with that hat. (insert skiing icon here)

[Stonehenge]

You mean this hat?


I think learning snowboarding would be fun!! :woot:

I used to downhill ski when I was younger...And over the last 6 weeks or so I've been nursing a tweaked knee back to health (torn medial meniscus from years ago) - I can see myself blowing out that knee if I were to ski today. Getting too old, I guess....

[Paul]

Too old??????? These young kids keep talking...........

[BRL]

I skied for almost 20 years. Tried snow boarding once around 10 years ago & haven't been back on skiis since. Almost rented a pair of skiis one day a few years ago to try it for nostalga, but it didn't happen.

They make cases for your goggles? Man I'm out of it. I just use the air compressor when it's time to use them LOL

Henge, the boarding is easier on the knees than the skiing. Give it a shot.

That hat is awesome! I love that thing. Boarding was a lot of fun. Some young kid (12 years old probably) taught me in one night. I was skiing, ended up on the lift with him and he was giving me a hard time about being a "two planker knukkle dragger" (skier) so I told him to teach me to board. Loved it.

Boarding is a lot easier on the knees, but wow did my butt and wrists hurt the next day. Didn't fall much, but when I did, ouch!! I couldn't get used to the leaning forward thing, just felt like I would catch an edge and fall flat on my face, but it doesn't actually happen. I have heard many times that boarding is hard to learn, but easy to get good at and skiing is easy to learn, but hard to get good at.

Jeff - how about a contractors meeting on the slopes!!!
