Not necessarily.
You can wear Sunglasses instead of goggles if you want, but you have to wear something to protect your eyes, or you put yourself at risk of Snow Blindness, since light refracts strongly off snow, and damages your eyes.
This is just as true when it's cloudy as when it's sunny.
Wearing Goggles instead of Glasses is however recommended in bad weather, mainly for comfort reasons.
Note: There's no difference between Ski and Snowboard Goggles.

Is it bad not to have a goggle clip on your snowboard or ski helmet?
Not particularly. If you crash, you may be more likely to lose your goggles, causing them to get snow in them, having to look for them, and what-not. But in general, it's just a optional add-on. If it really bothers you, a piece of tape does the same thing. And if your helmet is a great fit, and doesnt need goggles to hold it in place, some people ski/board with their goggles under their helmet anyway.
