What they all said.
1. Make sure they have a double lens.
2. Don't wear them over any type of face covering such as a neck gator. What I mean by that is sometimes the covering comes up by the nose, and if the bottom part of the goggles overlap that clothe, your breath goes right up there and fogs the goggles because of the warm air.

They have anti-fog cloth wipes that work pretty good. Opening them BRIEFLY to the air will help clear them, but don't let the goggles get cold or they WILL fog. If you have to take them off, keep them warm in your jacket. You may need to try different goggles and make sure their good ones.
Another thing I have found that will cause fogging is if you have a covering over your mouth to keep it warm, this will tend to vent your exhalation towards your goggles and cause them to fog terribly.

First off make sure that you have a decent pair of goggles that have air vents on the top and bottom. Second make sure that you are not covering up any of the air vents with your clothing, I see many people that have this problem either have there hat covering the top vents or a face mask that covers up the bottom vents. The biggest problem with some facemasks is that the hot air that you exhale is redirected upward right into your goggles, and that WILL cause fogging.

You need to get an OTG (Over the Goggle) goggle. They are larger and build to not only accomodate your glasses but have larger vents to help avoid fogging.
Things like Cat Crap, taking them off on the chairlift will help, and work. If you are still having issues look into the Smith OTG goggle. I think it's their Regulator series, but it has a motorized fan on the goggle that will force cold air into it to help avoid the fogging.
Only downside, it runs about 170 bucks.
If all else fails, try contacts!

A decent pair of goggles should not fog up; and they should also keep your glasses from fogging up. Ask at the gear shop what will work for you.

Your goggles have an anti fog layer that usually works pretty well. On the lift between runs, I just move them away from my eyes and open them up to air so that they can release all of the water vapor inside them

put your goggles on at the start of the day then never take them off. at lunch time dry them out before putting them on again. its taking the goggles on and off that makes them fog up. if this doesn't work you need to get a better quality pair. expect to pay up to £80.00 for decent pair. hope this helps
