If your current goggles have a quick-swap lens system (magnetic or mechanical), buying a night-specific spare lens is the most cost-effective and convenient solution. You can swap lenses on the lift in seconds. If your goggles use traditional frame-swap or fixed lenses, a dedicated second goggle for night skiing is more practical than struggling with lens changes in the cold.
