Did anyone try to ski Mount Everest?

In 1996 Hans Kammerlander (who downclimbed a few snowless sections) skied it. The first uninterrupted ski descent was made by Davo Karnicar in 2000 via the standard Southeast Ridge route, and snowboard descents were made by Stefan Gatt and Marco Siffredi in 2001. Also Kit Deslauries (sp)with her husband Rob DesLauriers and friend Jimmy Chin became the first woman to ski it. I remember being amazed when I read this in a Ski Magazine. Some of the steepest sections are slightly ridiculous especially considering the risk factor. Also a movie was made about Yuichiro Miura's attempt to ski a steep portion of everest.

Birch trees on Mount Everest have adapted to harsh conditions by growing at lower altitudes, typically between 9,000 to 13,000 feet, where they can survive in the alpine environment. These trees have developed resilience to cold temperatures, high winds, and rocky terrain by evolving characteristics such as flexible trunks, shallow roots, and thin bark to protect against frost damage and conserve water. Their ability to thrive at these elevations allows them to survive on Mount Everest despite the extreme conditions.

Why is air less in high places?

If I remember my science correctly the answer is because of pressure. The higher you go up the less pressure there is bearing down on the atmosphere. This means that the air molecules are not so densely packed. Like if you mooosh down on a kitchen sponge how compacted it becomes, remove the pressure and the sponge is much less dense. Same thing with the atmosphere, the higher you go, less pressure, less air molecules.

What plants grow on Mount Everest?

Few plants can grow/survive on the highest mountain in the world. Some trees can be found in the lower elevations, such as: primula dentculata, birch trees, blue pines, and Rhododendrons. The reason the plants can survive in the lower elevations is because it is much warmer and there is rarely ice. In the lower eastern half of the mountain, plants are more abundant, because precipitation is adequate. For example, a subtropical woodland, taira, can be found in that zone of Mount Everest. The highest elevation that plants can be found is approximately 3,700 feet. Slightly below that elevation coniferous forests exists. At the 3,700 feet point are small bushes and low grass.
Because of the harsh conditions and the fact that practically everything is frozen, it is no surprise that very few plants are designed to survive and thrive in such conditions. However, one plant that has been found on Mount Everest is the Allium Hybrid.
