The Man Who Skied Down Everest – 50th Anniversary Retro Screening

Not only is 2025 the 50th Anniversary of the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, but it’s also the 50th anniversary of The Man Who Skied Down Everest, directed by F.R. Crawley and Bruce Nyznik. This Oscar-winning documentary tells the story behind Japanese daredevil Yuichiro Miura's 1970 effort to ski down the world's tallest mountain. The film played at the 1978 Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival! National Canadian Film Day is an initiative of REEL CANADA, a non-profit organization that brings Canadian films to communities and schools across the country, all year long. This event is free but please get your ticket in advance. They recommend arriving 30 minutes before the screening to get your seat.
