Buy a fisheye and Youtube some videos about color-correction and color-grading. Camcorders with 3ccd sensors are very popular in action sports and may help you get the color profile you’re talking about.

Pretty sure it's not a lens or filter thing, it's the automatic white balance getting confused by cold colours (snow) and making everything look warmer to compensate. Try to film with proper colour and then go into your editing software and mess with temperature in colour grading. ^^^ youtube vids will help.

it's from the scene file on the camera. scene file (camcorders) is sorta equal to picture profile (dslr). if you have a panasonic camcorder you can change your scene file which will adjust the way that the sensor captures light and color. in my opinion, better to get colors/contrast right in-camera instead of in post, but that also depends on your goals/style/etc. for the classic warm skate style look, i bet you could just search up something on youtube like 'skate scene file warm' - at least to learn what the different adjustments do. once you understand how it works, i'd recommend you go outside (natural light) with your camera and fiddle with it until you get it somewhere you personally like, don't just bite what some skate filmer has.
you could get the same effect through color grading but i don't recommend it, it will take forever and it will never look as good as it does with the right scene file.
asparagus is right, these guys have their white balance set to auto, that's why one day's worth of filming is grey and the other is more orange/pink. it's good to always have your white balance set manually so that you don't get crazy color differences between clips, 5600K is the standard color temperature for filming in natural light/sunlight. if you go lower, it will get more blue, if you go higher it will get more orange. you can still film with the warm look using a standardized white balance like 5600K if you adjust your scene file correctly. if you try to get the warm look just by using white balance, it will probably make your shadows very orange/red.

what camera do you have? and the dude talking about the scene files is right you can adjust all ur colors and shit in there. But also post production. Most important thing tho is dont make everything super dark ur gonna have to play around in the snow and make sure everything isnt over exposed, or to dark. But good luck dawg, you just gotta mess around with it and fuck up till you get it right!!
