The Man Who Skied Down Everest (1975) Documentary on Free Online Video

Watch this impressive documentary on Yuichiro Miura's attempt to become the first person to ski down Mount Everest on May 6, 1970. Most of the movie covers the large crew's ascent up Everest starting in Kathmandu, Nepal until they reach the summit. The film is shot on 35mm CinemaScope providing some gorgeous views as they climb the mountain. The audio narration consists of excerpts of Yuichiro Miura's insightful diary during the climb and is narrated by Douglas Rain (who interestingly enough provided the voice of the HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey). The expedition takes a dark turn when six Sherpas died after a glacier collapse. The rest of the voyage up is a brutal, existential survival story and we won't spoil the ending, but it is riveting. This movie won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film in 1975.
