@mgrolf, an interesting question to which I have no answer, but I would say that afaik, the benefits in poor light come from having yellowish lenses as that increases the contrast between transmitted and reflected light (I have forgotten exactly the mechanism) and it may well be that while you may not see the colour effect of this, you get the contrast enhancement.
I'd ask your eye Dr as you may want to optimise (or not!) a lens with specific red-green transmission. i.e. my Smith sunny day lenses have a yellowy green tint (so cutting blues and ?reds).

Wherever I've skied the snow has always been white so I don't think you'll have a problem seeing it

I've got mild red green. Never really considered it affecting my vision skiing. I generally use an orange lens for everything then swear a lot in full grey/fog out. Just bought some Bolle yellow safety specs to keep in my pocket re the latter (obviously acknowledge Gaper look)

What about going to an indoor snow centre and trying them out there? Somewhere like Hemel which has a Snow and Rock downstairs. Not sure if they'd go with you to the slope if they were busy but maybe you could buy and return until you find the best ones for you.

@SarahB, it's not a terribel idea, but I find lens tints most critical in flat light and a fridge won't really help there. Mind you, the arc lighting might simulate teh varying contrast conditions quite well.

FAQ
who (statistically) share my affliction have thoughts on lens tints that work better, particularly but not exclusively the newer technologies like Oakley's prizm, Smith's chromapop etc. I have just used Aldi type Google's up till now so don't have a great experience to relate to. I struggle massively with piste maps, less so with seeing where I'm going until it's proper white out. I know the best advice is to try things on but there won't be snow here for months yet and I have to have something to keep me occupied before 
. To be clear, I'm not interested in what people with normal vision find good - sadly, we just don't see things the same way (it's nothing personal)!
