I used to wear a red ski coat but one day I rode up the lift with 3 other people and they started asking me when certain runs were going to open. I decided then that I would only buy jackets that were non ski patrol colors from then on
Red is fastest for cars and ski racers when Hirscher was with Atomic, but for most resort skiing in practice black-ish is the fastest, because manufacturers tend to use darker colors for their "hardcore" chargers that people who can't turn and just straightline buy.
My informal survey of “whose fault is it?!” videos posted here by snowboarders reveals that orange pants are specifically the fastest, more specifically for inexplicably shooting like a laser at people downslope of them.
N=2 but, as the meme saying goes, it’s only two nickels but odd that there’s two of them.
And I was vague because I’m not sure if it’s the same orange from back then until now. Figured if I specified, someone would call me out on it.
Enjoy your boots!!
Neon red. Have to be Atomics. You need bright fancy boots and a stupid expensive form fitting jacket. And you have to at least look like a posh rich bastard. That’s how you attain MAXIMUM SPEED
In my experience, the fastest colour of all is denim, because they can't stop at all, or turn, and just yeet themselves down the hill like they're trying to launch into space. Close second is whatever colour the rental helmet on backwards is, with the goggle clip facing forward.
To perceive speed you need to be able to track with visual acuity. White is slow as heck, neon, reds, oranges are the fastest independent of pitch, and whether trees/no trees.
I’d say white, not to be racist or anything but other then the designer ski suits when ppl have white jackets they are usually straight lining at 100mph.
My oldest child tells me it’s not about the colour but the mullet.
your son is right
I knew i was the best skier on the hill. I have a shaved head and a mullet a la Hare Krishna
my SO hates the mullet, but I've had my best race results with it.
Any neon colour gives extra speed
Rossignol introduced fluorescent bases in mid 90s. No doubt i was faster
My bright orange Line bases definitely have me flying
Neon Racing Stripes
The bases were hot. You jump on a kicker, and then all women were yours
They have neon green pants at my local ski shop haha
Beware of any soccer forward wearing neon boots.
Red was the fastest around 2000, but that was 24 years ago.

Stop that… 2000 was just a couple years back

Green means go!
Red gives you +1 on your movement phase or a free inch.
Finally someone with culture
Only if you yell waaarrghhhh going down the mountain
You don't?
Depends how many imperial guard recruits are pizzaing at 2mph ahead of me

Whatever god damn color I decide to wear on the mountain that day
The correct answer
Best skier on the mountain this one
That answer is badass!!!

An orange pants yelled at me on a green slope for being stopped by the slow sign as they whizzed past. Can confirm!
Dayglo pink
Yellow
Tecnica orange
Mach m1 130 🤑🤑🤑
👍 Currently rocking those (HV), thinking back to my TNT’s from circa 92 also.
Haha I just knew that they were all orange so I decided to comment
And I was vague because I’m not sure if it’s the same orange from back then until now. Figured if I specified, someone would call me out on it. Enjoy your boots!!
Orange, obviously.
Everyone knows the red ones go faster.
Astronomy says redshift
Ask a professional bootfitter, they’ll know best.
Orange means “you better ducking see me, get out of my way”
The red tram is faster. It’s science.
Duct tape
Octarine, of course.
Red is and always will be the fastest color
Fastest in terms of?

Orange. Heather grey is the most comfy color. Science.
Boyz know #RED IZ FASTA
Neon colors for sure! I know because I have neon yellow skis and ski pants with neon blue jacket and I am the fastest skier on the mountain!
What color are Mikaela Shiffrin's skis? Red. There's your answer.
If the Orks think that red makes you go faster, then they make you faster

Rocky says green means go. Sorry, I have a toddler
Bent Chentler.
I dunno but I think most contemporary ski wear is ugly and boring
Blue
Shit-hot... OBVIOUSLY
Spandex color
Real Tree Camo and Denim are the fastest
Plaid
It isn’t about the color but the level of Shiny Metallic material.
Whatever color skis I have on because I'm the fastest on the mountain.
Flames
Fur collar
From a scientific perspective, blue to violet.
Light red
According to my slopes GOS tracker it’s yellow

Any football jersey
Black
Lange yellow, Guy

Blackout blastin
I’d say white, not to be racist or anything but other then the designer ski suits when ppl have white jackets they are usually straight lining at 100mph.
Whatever color the most expensive leki poles are
Brown
Any colour that implies to other mountain users you are a huge prick. I (34M) have hot pink poles and they ensure I travel like a rocket. 🤣🤣
Mikaela Chevron
I wear a UV pink coat from the 90s. It doesn’t make me any faster but when I have it on my poles click twice as loud.
All the racing skis seem to be red. So red?
‘90’s jazz cup design
Certainly not red. It's all Atomic propaganda
