"The Man Who Skied Down Everest" is a film from 1975 of a team that made the climb up Mt. Everest, where only 350 meters from the Summit (the highest point in the world), world-champion skier Yuichiro Miua descended 7,000 feet down the mountain on skis over ice and rocks with oxygen and a parachute to slow his speed. Clearly the trails were not smooth for Miura, but you'll have to see the movie to find out what happens.
Seems like a must see for skiers and climbers alike.
