Looking for skiing video clip

[mcm]

I seem to recall a video clip (perhaps it was a Warren Miller clip) whereby
a guy took an extended fall - tumbling, loosing equipment, etc. until he
came to rest about 3 feet from the edge of a nightmarish cliff.

Has anybody seen this clip online or perhaps a similar clip? Do you have a
link?

Thanks,

- M

You might be referring to the documentary titled something like The Man
Who Skied Down Everest. It was about this Japanese explore that has
this thing about skiing down mountains he climbs. He had a parachute
to help slow down but the air was so thin, it wasn't very effective. I
forget how far he slid, but it was thousands of feet, and he stopped a
couple of hundred feet short of the cliff, although from the telephoto
camera view, it looked a lot closer than it was. No matter, it was still
pretty hairy.
