Hi

I only decided to get contacts to go skiing and now never wear my glasses. They are so much easier than glasses, it's just another to have to adjust when you are out. Saying that our local ski shop had a really good range of goggles so I am sure most would, I am not sure how you would stop glasses steaming up which may be an issue. I always take spare contacts out with my just in case I knock them out or rub my eyes as you don't want to be in the middle of no where squinting with one eye.

Just my thoughts.

Have a great hols

I cant comment on whether or not glasses are better than contact lenses but to answer your original question every major goggle manufacturer that I've come across produces an 'over the glasses' goggle. They are generally just called 'OTG' goggles. They differ in depth - to allow space for your glasses, and they will have a depression or cut out at each side to accommodate the leg of the glasses.
There are a number of products on the market that will stop your glasses and goggle lenses from steaming up. Fogtech is supposed to work well - http://www.visorvision.co.uk/shop/index.php
