Consider which lens tint will work best in the conditions you'll most likely experience on the mountain. Clear and yellow tints work well in low light conditions, such as cloudy days or night skiing. Dark tints are the best option on a bright, sunny day. The most versatile option is an amber tint, which is effective in both low light and bright conditions.
