List of ski descents of eight-thousanders

Steve Marolt skiing down the northeast ridge of Everest in 2007

This is a list of ski descents of eight-thousanders (which are the 14 highest peaks in the world that are over 8,000 meters (26,000 feet) in elevation).[1] Such feats are part of the sport of ski mountaineering, and also related to the sport of extreme skiing. The first descents can be traced to the 1970s.

Notable firsts

  • 1970: Yuichiro Miura (Japan) made the first ski tracks above 8000m in preparation for his schuss from the south col of Everest for the film The Man Who Skied Down Everest.[2]
  • Yves Morin† (France) was the first to ski down an 8000m peak which he did on Annapurna in 1979 and over the course of the expedition skied all segments of the descent. However, he died while descending from the summit.[3]
  • 1988: Veronique Perillat (France) became the first woman to ski from the top of an eight-thousander and the first woman to ski from over 8000 meters, skiing off the top of Cho Oyu on a monoski.[4][5]
  • 2000: Davo Karničar† (Slovenia) completed the first top-to-bottom (base camp) descent of Everest (South Col route) without removing his skis. However, he benefited from 02 use. There has not been a similar ascent/descent of Everest without oxygen. 1996: Hans Kammerlander (Italy) skied the top 300 meters of Everest but climbed down to 7700m before skiing to Advance Base Camp. Kammerlander skied the North Col route.[6]
  • 2006: Kit DesLauriers (United States) is the first woman to ski from the top of Everest.[3]
  • 2018: Andrzej Bargiel (Poland) completed the first top-to-bottom (base camp) descent of K2 (a combination of the normal route, Basque route, Messner's variant to the Polish route) without removing his skis.
