There's a couple groups of skiers getting after it in Nepal this Everest season.
Chris Davenport and Neal Beidleman are guiding an expedition on Everest but got to ski a line down Lhotse face. Check out Chris Davenport's blog - http://chrisdavenport.com/2011/skiing-the-lhotse-face/
Also there are Hennie VJ, Kris Erickson, and Jamie Laidlaw. The latter of which are going after the first ski descent of the Lhotse couloir. Crazy stuff...
I can't imagine trying to ski at altitude like that and have nothing but the highest respect for these guys.
Hopefully one day I'll be a part of an expedition of this type...
