Yeah, the goggle strap routing is the best thing about ski helmets. Like you and TRJammer, I wear goggles when it's really cold and/or blizzard-ing, and they do a great job of keeping my face warm. With all of the cycling helmets I've had over the years, none really took goggles well, the trickiest part getting the strap to stay in position over the pointy peaks of the back of the helmet. I always suffered through it, and together with a balaclava had a fine go of it, but I've always envied those with ski helmets. Maybe this will be the year I get one!
