San Francisco:: Harper & Row,, (1978). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (remainder mark). First printing. Japanese high altitude skier Yuichiro Miura, at age 37, became the first person to ski on Mt. Everest on May 6th, 1970. The entire descent, approximately 4,200 vertical feet, took about 2 minutes and 20 seconds - it was recorded in the 1975 documentary 'The Man Who Skied Down Everest,' the first sports film to win an Academy Award for best documentary. This book recounts the story of this event, illustrated with both full-color and black and white photographs. Notably, many years later, in 2003, at the age of 70, Miura became the oldest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, and then, in 2008, he climbed Everest again at over 75 years old and again in 2013 at age 80! 170 pp.

Miura attempts one of the most audacious feats: skiing down the world's highest mountain. The book documents his vision, the meticulous preparation, and of course the event itself. An enthralling tale which dusts off the age-old ideals of honour and glory. At the same time, a keen focus is also given to the life of an Everest expedition: the Sherpas, the crew, and of course the mountain itself. A fascinating tale.
