The Man Who Skied Down Everest (Oscar-Winning Documentary) | Real Stories

★ Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature

In 1970 the Japanese skier Yuichiro Miura tried to descend the world's highest mountain on skis, using a parachute to keep himself from reaching terminal velocity. Several members of the climbing team die making the attempt possible, and the film sits with that cost as much as with the descent.
