Rainbow-hued clouds exploded every time the four-time World Champion and Red Bull athlete carved around a gate during one of the most spectacular ski runs ever.

"It was a surreal experience—simply amazing! I couldn't ski with the speed I normally do in races, even though the course was very steep in the first part, up to 75 percent incline," Hirscher told RedBull.com. "At each gate I was blinded for a split second because I had to ski through a cloud of yellow and blue."

The team for the project made sure to respect the environment, according to Red Bull. All materials for color effects are 100 percent natural and the team secured permission from local authorities, according to the video information.
