Ever wonder what it is like to ski from the top of an 8000 meter peak? If so, this video will be particularly of interest. In it, we travel to the top of 8163-meter (26,781 ft) Manaslu and join a team of mountaineers as they not only summit the mountain, but then proceed to ski back down.
This is an impressive accomplishment and quite a sight to watch unfold. Impressive stuff both from a skiing standpoint and filmmaking.
