Then, BEFORE you leave for your trip, post here again and start a
thread about how to keep your glasses from fogging up while you're
wearing the goggles (this is tougher than it sounds). I'll give you a
head start and recommend that while you're shopping for cheap goggles,
you keep your eyes out for a small tin of an anti-fog product called
Cat Crap (really).

Spit. Your own, preferably. All purpose cleanser. Comes with enzymes for
fast action. Also controls fogging, misting, and (if they watched you
apply the product) interference in your leisure by members of the
opposite sex.

I
love my yellow lense sunnies, but if it's cold/windy/snowy, I find I get
frozen eyeballs in glasses. Goggs are essential for those days.

Well, in Colorado, it is seldom cold or windy and unfortunately in recent
years, seldom snowy either. ;-)

better bet is to invest on one of the cord things that clamp on the
glasses with a cord that goes behind your head. That way the glasses
are with you unless your head comes off. :-)

I'd go with the cord-things that fit loosely. If you fall face down you
want your glasses to come off your face before they grind into your
flesh but not fly so far you can't find them.

Speaking as a beginner, I have one of those cord things so that I won't
put my sunglasses down in cafes and forget to take them with me.
After my last really sucky fall, the glasses were brought back to me
from the point where I'd originally fallen over (not from the place
where my head-first slide took out the woman below me in the ski school
conga line, in front of about 200 people on a restaurant terrace.)

Spit works well on dive masks because it doesn't dry off, the inside of
your mask can't fog up because it's always wet. It won't work well
inside ski goggles because they're well ventilated, or should be (my
cheap Scott goggles are fine for that) so the spit will dry on and
obscure the lenses.
Use a proper anti-fog product if you need one.

BTW if money is tight, rather than trying to hire small items like
goggles and gloves, you can generally get them from the lift company's
lost property office.

You can buy little cloths soaked in what is glycerin, I believe.

Or rub on a bit of liquid detergent or hand soap and polish it off.

It works much better if you don't brush yuor teeth.
