		Miura is an athlete -- a skier and a mountain climber -- he has scaled a number of mountains, including Mount Kilimanjaro.
		Although Miura skied the full runs, the occasion was marked by four generations of the Muira family skiing together down the final 700 meters of a run -- this relatively short run being chosen because the youngest members of the group were pre-school aged great-grandchildren.
		When told that he is amazing, Miura claims that there is nothing amazing about him, but rather that it is his son, Yuichiro Miura, who is amazing.

	dOc DVD Review: The Man Who Skied Down Everest (1975)
		It is the visual scope of The Man Who Skied Down Everest that is its strength, and not Miura's seemingly mad plan to risk life and limb to slide down a sheet of rocky ice at the top of the world.
		Miura's diary talks of respecting "the Mother Goddess of the world", though Everest certainly does what it can to cast off the human intruders, making it one of the most treacherous places on Earth.
		Miura's actual ski run is what the The Man Who Skied Down Everest builds to, though in hindsight it is almost an anti-climax, as the quest became stained with human death, making this questionable act of extreme sporting seem sadly pointless.
