The Man Who Skied Down Everest is a documentary about Yuichiro Miura, a Japanese alpinist who skied down Mt. Everest in 1970. The film was produced by Canadian film maker Budge Crawley. Miura skied 6,600 feet (2000 m) in 2 minutes and 20 seconds and fell 1320 feet down the steep Lhotse face from the Yellow Band just below the South Col. He used a large parachute to slow his descent. He came to a full stop just 250 ft. from the edge of the crevasse.

Eight died during the expedition's ascent.

Crawley won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for this picture.

  • See the problem lies around the 1:30 mark. You can clearly see him french fry when he should of pizza sliced. If you french fry instead of pizza slicing, your gonna have a bad time.

  • Why does the space troopers shot at him after he falls?

  • OMG. i would die...... nice parachute! but falling only a few times is amazing. skiing is really hard. ur ankle will hurt ALOT

  • Rental skis, being shot at by lasers, and a beautifully decorated jelly fish chasing after him. Yep this man was destined for disaster right from the start. RIP rental skis.
