Skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, it's all good at night!

My default "shades" are cheap HF for both UV and ANSI Z-87.1 eye protection. They come in clear, smoke/tinted*, and yellow for <$2/ea, so you no big lo$$ if you sit on them, they get scratched, or they get lost in powder or when doing a kayak roll.
* Though I've seen 'em w/ and w/o explicit UV-rating, my contacts are, as are some of my faceshields.

"These" are my choice for mountain biking. I get something like them from Lowe's or Home Depot for a couple of bucks. Remarkable clarity and they seem to last better than $100 Oakleys. Love the yellow when contrast isn't so good. Hadn't thought of using them for skiing but I think they'd be perfect. Thanks for the tip!

I don't go at night by any means unless the stars or moon illuminate to such a degree that a headlamp is unnecessary. And I don't understand why it would be appealing going out at night when you need a lamp. Heck, I almost never drive at night either.
