Zero Margin for Error: Skier Blazes Down World's "Narrowest" Ski Slope (Video)
We’ve all been there.
It’s November, and your home mountain is barely open. You’re happy to be skiing, but stuck on a narrow stretch of snow with what seems like one million other skiers. Getting to the bottom is similar to ski racing, except instead of gates, you’re dodging humans, fences, and patches of dirt.
This isn’t a position most of us would enter willingly. But ski cross world champion Filip Flisar, in pursuit of some high-grade shenanigans, did just that with some help from Red Bull.
Using safety fences, Flisar set up what Red Bull called the “world’s narrowest ski slope.” It spanned only 93 centimeters, or about 3 feet.
Then, Flisar did what he does best: go really, really fast.
Check out the stunt below.

If you’re thinking that this video seems familiar, you’re on to something. A few years ago, in a less official capacity, skier Brooks Curran ventured between two safety fences at a resort, chasing behind one of his buddies.
See below.
The difference between Flisar and Curran is that Flisar, clearly, purpose-built his setup for speed. Throughout, his foot is firmly pressed on the accelerator.
By the time he reaches the bottom, he’s going around 70 miles per hour, per the speed gun shown in the video.
This is par for the course for Flisar. The Slovenian’s been to three Winter Olympics. Now, he takes on wild feats like the narrow ski run. That also includes skiing with a jet pack. No kidding. See below.
It’s all very Red Bull. These days, the company does far more than sling energy drinks, sponsoring and crafting dreamlike stunts across action sports disciplines.
A few months ago, Red Bull built the world’s largest skateboard drop-in. Before that, Ryōyū Kobayashi set the world’s longest ski jump record alongside Red Bull.
Most of us, though, turn to Red Bull for a far more mundane activity: finding the energy to clear our email inboxes at 3 p.m. on a Friday.
