Gary:? Unfortunately, no they don't provide any lift in the powder.? The fan has two speeds, but it exhausts at the top of the goggle, so the two micro-gram downforce (when on high speed) will be pushing you into the powder.

However, I have it on good authority that in the event of a face plant they will blow up a little pile of powder in front of you (just before they pack themselves full of snow).? I also have it on good authority that said packed snow could easily be knocked out of the fan and the fan resumed running and rapidly evaporated all of the moisture out of the goggle without a dry-out/wipe-out trip to the lodge.
