hi, i was wondering if the Vr50 Lens would work well in most conditions? due to the 41% sunlight? I would go with the persimmon but i was told that the vr50 was better if i boarded more in the say and some at night... is this true?

Yeah, the VR50 is definitely a bit darker than the persimmon lens. A persimmon lens isn't dark enough for me on a sunny blue bird day, just too much snow glare for my eyes to be comfortable. On the flip side the VR50 is a bit dark for night skiing. The lenses in A-frames aren't that tough to swap out, so I'd suggest picking up a clear lens for about $40 if you plan on doing a lot of night skiing (if it's in your budget).
