Eye protection when night snowboarding?

I recently purchased a pair of bad-ass expensive snowboard goggles. They are amazing during the day: they cut off glare and protect against the sun. However, I recently began snowboarding at a resort that offers night snowboarding (Keystone, Colorado). My problem is that these goggles, while great during the day, have pretty poor visibility during the night. Are there any goggles out there that perform well both during the day and night, or do most people just buy separate pairs (I really hope not since good goggles can get expensive ;).

You do not need to purchase separate goggles for night/day. Many brands (I am thinking of Oakley specifically) allow you to quickly remove and attach lenses to the goggles. So I'd recommend just buying some an extra pair of clear lenses if you do a lot of night skiing, and use your sun blocking ones during the day.
