So I really home this isn't too dum of a question to ask, but I am looking for as skate style ski helmet. One with no earmuff things, and one I can use to summer ski (in Virginia). For some reason I am having a really hard time finding a black skate style helmet that I can buy for the next winter season. Please help I will give karma.

Almost all ski helmets come with REMOVABLE padding over the ears, only one I can think of right now that doesn't have pads is the Smith Holt Park. Most brands have a ton of different skate-style helmets, so I'm not sure why you are having trouble, but a couple of my favorites are the Smith Maze and POC receptor+.

I use a R.E.D. trace which looks exactly like a skate helmet once you take out the ear pads

Giro Revolver! Exchangable pads, removable ear muffs, you can also put ear buds in them. Also has a interior goggle channel, soo sweet. Might be hard to find one though, they are from 2011, I remember seeing them on amazon on ebay..

The poc helmets are meant to get destroyed if you hit your head, its some technology all the bigger companies use to absorb more shock I think its called triple impact or something like that. Get the receptor bug flow. designed to be ridden in snow and while biking or skateboarding. really sweet good ventilation. I wouldnt consider any other for both. I trust poc helmets more than any others.
