I'm wondering if there's any reason using a snowboarding helmet would be a bad idea? Presumably the goggles would interface better with it.
You are right in that goggles do not work well with a regular bike helmet. Ski/Snowboard helmets are usually too hot as even the vented ones do not have enough venting for even winter cycling. The solution is to use the inexpensive bike/skateboard/skating helmets. They have more venting than ski helmet but not as much as a regular bike helmet. They work better with goggles and are inexpensive. And they have about the right amount of venting for winter riding. Plus they keep the back of your head warmer since they have better coverage in the back.
Try Pricepoint.com. They usually have some for less then 25 dollars.
