Longest rail completed by a skier?

A thought occurred to me when I was watching an urban segment with some really long rails

What is the LONGEST rail ever slid to the end by a skier? I looked in the Guinness world records website and it's not even a thing. I know there are some long rails at resorts, but I don't think I've seen over 200 feet

What do you guys think? Maybe NS should set the record and bring it to Guinness?

I think a skier could easily slide like 300 feet, the problem is getting the speed and a rail that long

When the mountains close for spring lets all go and get every rail on the mountain and set them up down some green trail.

In Kongsberg, Norway they put up a rail that was about 96 meters (314 feet) the past weekend. Simen Gjelsvik slided 81 meters (267 feet) And now he has the official record in Guinness.

Yes he did!

But actually, I was lucky enough to complete the rail in its entirety the day after. It was measured 325 ft (99.15 meters) (because the measuring starts where you land on the rail, and ends where the back tips touches the snow after the rail.)

Here is an article (in norwegian) about it. http://www.laagendalsposten.no/Satte_ny_rekord__men_ble_ikke_filmet-5-64-18782.html

Not yet. The event that held the world record attempt sent both the results in. So wait and see I guess..

Longest urban rail I've slid was 90 feet. I measured the segments and used math to calculate the length. Longer has been done I think.
