Yes, white is the new black - Darth Vader is so last year... 8)
But seriously...
Fit First - then go for a known brand (i.e. a manufacturer with a good reputation) and then choose your colour... oh alright, have the red one then...
Ventilation - A well-ventilated helmet is a must if you sweat when skiing (most people do!); I get much less sweaty in a helmet than I used to with a hat - due to the built-in ventilation - so doubt I'll ever bother with a hat again.
Colour does matter - when the sun's out you will notice the difference between a reflective colour and, say, matt black... might as well fill with boiling water before putting it on... :lol:
Goggles - make sure there's a goggle strap and guides or other shaping to be "goggle-compatible". Either make sure your existing goggles fit well, or be prepared to spend out on some decent goggles too. Helmet and goggles work together brilliantly and when well-matched will mean no more goggle steaming in the restaurant and no pressure points on your face!
