A small, elite fraternity of high-altitude skiers climb the highest peaks in the world in pure Alpine style, carrying their skis and declining to use supplemental oxygen. At the top of the world, high in the Death Zone, they lock into their skis and challenge the most dangerous slopes in the world—under weather conditions that are as perilous as the thin air, hidden crevasses and 10,000 ft. sheer faces that drop into Nepal and Tibet far below.

"Beyond Skiing Everest" is the story of identical twin brothers Mike and Steve Marolt and life long friend Jim Gile taking ski mountaineering from their back yard peaks around Aspen, Colorado, and naturally progressing their sport to the greater ranges of the Himalaya and Andes over a 40-year period, and ultimately to being inducted the USA National Ski Hall of Fame. The film is a dashboard of sorts for the critical natural progression that is required for ultimate success not only with skiing the highest peaks, but life.
