SKI Magazine

The superlative "extreme" has lost its definition lately. We've got extreme shopping, extreme fast food meals... there's probably an extreme zoo out there somewhere as well. So we were a little wary when we came across this trailer for Skiing Everest: The word "extreme" gets tossed out about six times in the first 30 seconds. But this is one case where the word fits the situation. For all the climber-snob hubbub about how "easy" a trek up the mountain can be, climbing Everest is never easy. And skiing down it, well -- we're not sure that'd be our first choice of vacation options. But that's what a group of high-altitude ski fiends did recently -- and they did it without oxygen. Check out the trailer below. [Thanks to theskichannel.com for the link.]
