Here are a few tips!

Biggest thing for me is take off your balaclava once up top. Heat comes out your forhead and eyes causing fog in the goggles.
Norona you forgot a pretty big thing. Proper Layering with proper gear. Even those most fit guys will sweat, but its what your gear does with the heat and moisture. I see so many guy riding with cotton it drives me nuts. I spent a lot of money on goggles and fans and sprays until i figured out how to keep my body temp regulated and therefore face temp down. Problem solved.
IMPORTANT IF YOU SUFFER FROM FOGGING ALL THE TIME. Take out those stupid helmet pieces that cover your face and prevent your breath from escaping. I prefer a bunch of pow on my face then a fogged up goggle. Take out the chin one if you helmet has one as well. Airflow over your face cools it down and airflow through your goggles takes the moisture away that builds up. Those face pieces prevent this airflow and prevent taking away your hot moist breath, throw them out.
Final tip, get quick straps so that when you stop or get stuck you can strap the goggle over the top of our helmet. I see it all the time that guys take off their goggles and drop them, or its snowing and it fills them up while your stopped which you them have to clean. If you strap them over the top of your helmet they stay in a safe spot and face down.
Trust me, learn to control your body/ face temp and promote airflow your fogging issues will melt away. Combine these tips with Norona's and your gold.
