But why would you want a pair and surely they are just another gimmick? Maybe, but for some they are fun.
The goggles incorporate a high-definition video camera and are being launched by American company, Liquid Image.
The five mega pixel camera built in to the goggles has 16MB of memory that can be expanded to 16GB with aa microSD card.
"The Summit Series Snow Camera Goggle is easy to operate. There is a button for On/Off/Mode and another button for the shutter," said a Liquid Image statement.
"To record a photo or a video, simply turn on the camera, choose the mode, then press the shutter button. LED lights inside the goggle indicate the mode to the user. Large side buttons along the right side of the frame allow for greater dexterity while wearing gloves. Just make sure that you don't hit a ski-lift while looking for the button as you career down the hill at 50mph!"
We reported on the googles earlier this winter and now the further details have been released.
The camera goggles will be available from next winter at a cost of around $149, that's just under £100.
They will hold around 2,200 still images or just over two hours of video on a full charge.
