Watch Yuichiro Mirua as he skis down Mount Everest. He was the first person to do so back in 1975, climbing up to 29 029 feet above sea level and then skiing down 6600 feet of vertical. His skiing is not the best and for some reason he uses a parachute behind him (I guess in case he falls down a cliff), but it’s still amazing to watch. He is one lucky guy with lots of guts to ski down the tallest mountain on Earth. This has to be the most amazing and extreme backcountry that there is on Earth.

This guy skis around with his parachute open jumping cliffs. He glides around, someitme his skis are touching the snow, sometimes he is in the air at the mercy of his parachute. This is a new level of extreme skiing.
