The sky is blue because of Rayleigh scattering which states that the shorter the wavelength, the greater the scattering and the longer the wavelength, the less the scattering. In other words, The shorter wavelengths of visible light, the blues, scatter the most and dominate the lower atmosphere, giving the appearance of a blue sky.

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.

The ski is blue because Al Gore said it is and everybody who is gullible believes him. So it must be blue.
P.S. you must be stupid to ask a question like this
