Run it! Run it!
Funny to hear a movie mixed up of our own words which is what Jeremy has down so poetically here. Dialogue taken from clips of a group email conversation around an upcoming ski adventure.
Bro Down, the movie
The Paramarker
The paramarker talks about his new gear.
Mark sent around a film today…Cruise-azy! And about skiers! It’s from a site called extranormal.com: “if you can type, you can make movies.” Cool.
12,276 Feet of Rock!
Jeremy, Tim, Gus, and I climbed and skied Mt. Adams this past Monday the 7th of July, 2008. The taste was sweet!
7/26/08: Today I changed the filetype of this video from a .wmv file to a .flv and installed the FLV Embed plugin on the blog. Hopefully, Mac users will be able to view this rock n roll summit now.
Speeding between death and ecstasy
Giora sent me this movie today. It amazed me with footage of Everest (spindrift!) and scared me nigh to death with a filmed ski descent of the South Col. Yikes.
the film quality is pretty stunning.

Couldn’t agree more…
The Man Who Skied Down Everest is a documentary about Yuichiro Miura, a Japanese alpinist who skied down Mt. Everest in 1970. He skied 6,600 feet (2000 m) in 2 minutes and 40 seconds and fell 1320 feet down the steep Lhotse face from the Yellow Band just below the South Col. He used a large parachute to slow his descent.
