'We wanted to bring a new , cool element into skiing , ' Hirscher said on the Red Bull website ' The process involved 11 cameras , a specially-enhanced slope , and three days to set up before creating the incredible video in one take with the 26-year-old Austrian . Marcel Hirscher slalomed in and out of poles filled to the brim with coloured , biodegradable powder , which erupted upon contact . Six GoPros , and a range of other cameras , including a hand held one by the skier captured the dazzling rainbow effect , which surrounded him at every turn . As the run required more ice than snow , a section of the Reiteralm slopes in Austria had to be watered , so that it could freeze over night in preparation . The team had to get up at 4am to set up the cameras to capture the rainbow run in one take from a number of angles , before the ice melted . The most difficult part of the incredible video as filming it from all angles , without getting another cameraman in the shot . 'We wanted to bring a new , cool element into skiing , ' Hirscher said on the Red Bull website , 'and create unforgettable images . And I think we succeeded ! ' 'It was a surreal experience – simply amazing ! I could n'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 , ' he explains . 'At each gate I was blinded for a split second because I had to ski through a cloud of yellow and blue . ' The team had to get up at 4am to set up the cameras to capture the rainbow run from a number of angles , before the ice melted during the day . The biodegradable powder was placed in slalom poles along the course , and multiple cameras were set up to capture the effect from different angles . Rainbow powder !
