I caught the tail end of a story on CNN about some Colorado guys that were skiing on Everest. It said it was their 2nd attempt but I didn't hear if it was a descent from the summit. Anybody know about this? Nice FIRM snow conditions from the looks of it!

I'll stick to the cuddle run, thanks.
Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

I think it was a brother team but not sure.
" The Man Who Skied Everest" how could you forget that one! It was good to see the Kamikaze spirit alive and well even then. "Why turn? I got a parachute!"Gave up on the bottle, give me the lobotomy.
