Grete Eliassen, 23-years-old, is a professional skier; she is one of the best all-around skiers in the game, with multiple wins on her resume. Now, she has one more highlight to add to her accomplishments. She has just set the new world record for the highest hip air by a women. She reached speeds of approximately 60 miles an hour, hit the custom 30-foot tall hip and launched 31 feet above the deck of a gigantic hip jump (custom built by Red Bull).
“There is no other experience in the world that feels even close to what I feel when I am jumping. Having such a large feature built just for me was a super humbling experience. With my whole crew, family and friends watching it was really an incredible day. It is a moment in my life I will remember forever,” said Grete.
