Is it possible to snowboard down Mt Everest?

No.  First of all, the altitude would kill you.  You don't see this on TV, but when the camera is off, the climbers will take 2-3 breaths for every 1 step.  And this is with oxygen tanks and masks.  If you could survive the lack of oxygen, then one of the hundreds of cravasses would swallow you.\n\nSince there's pretty much an esclator leading to the summit, and that a blind man has climbed all the way up, I wouldn't doubt that someone will try to ski/board down it.  No - a blind telemarker!\n\nI won't say impossible because it was once believed that it was impossible to climb to the summit.

i just started snowboarding this year, but i started learning to jump yesterday.  its pretty easy to just go off little ones the most important thing is DONT TURN IN THE AIR and try to land on your edge no matter what you will fall.  pick up some speed and ride over the jump and land with your nose facing right down the hill... once you have landed are out a few feet you can carve/edge/ stop... just make sure that none is following right behind you.  trust youself... and just go for it.  i dunno for me it was just kinda natural... just do waht feels right but DONT TURN IN TEH AIR i cant stress that enough.  and make sure your board is well waxed.  i hope this helps you.

I thought you asked for sensible answers? LOL \n\nI reckon you should do an ab-sail from a really tall building. My husband did one a few years ago and said it was fantastic! I wouldn't though - I'm chicken! Fair play to you though for doing all those stuff!

The first landing of a helicopter on the summit of mount Everest was done on may 2005, see link below. Before Tensing and Hillary, the technology was not available to do such thing; but more important, the goal is not just getting to the summit, but how you get there. Getting by means of a helicopter or airplane is a different goal than doing it by human effort. \n\nFirst helicopter landing on mount Everest:\nhttp://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0509/whats_new/helicopter_everest.html

Unless EVERYTHING goes right.........\n\nYour gaonna die on this climb\n\nbest case they'll have to helivac you off the mountian with fingers and toes gone forever\n\n\nWhen two Sherpas become the victims of an attempt to scale Mt. Everest, the French members of the expedition simply roll their bodies off the mountain face. One body crashes to a stop near Sherpas on a separate expedition far below. An American climber, observing their stunned silence, interprets what they might be thinking - nobody would dare throw the bodies of dead white climbers off Mt. Everest.

You can snowboard anywhere for free, the ticket is getting there, having your own board and hiking up the mountain instead of using the lift... oh and having a place to stay while you're there. I drove up to West Virginia and paid $50 for a lift ticket and $60 in gas. I wrapped up in a sleeping bag and slept in my truck for two days and had a great time. $110 ain't half bad.

decrease the pressure.\n\nwater at the top of mt. everest boils at a much lower temperature than water at sea level.

I don't know why people keep on believing that Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person to reach Mount Everest's top. He's English (NZ) by the way. I believe that there are many Nepali or Chinese who have conquered the Everest long before him. It's such a biased fact, just because he's a European/Caucasian. He might be the first 'recorded' man to conquer Everest, but certainly not the first person ever to climb Everest.

That would depend on how big the mountain is,and what time of year you'd be climbing it.A good idea is to buy a walking magazine like TGO or TRAIL to get some tips and ideas.

It won't be very easy.  Almost impossible.  You will find that with an airtower and fatsack that it will be so much easier to get the height you need to make a full revolution.  What is a ski supra, by the way.

Rent the boots and the board, Bring a good Water resistant jacket and Pants. Bring your determination, snowboarding for the first time is NOT that simple.

That would sort of depend on what you land on, now wouldn't it? If you have a parachute you could jump from the top of the Petronas Towers in Malaysia and survive. I think the farthest a human has fallen accidentally and lived is under fifty feet, unless they just happened to fall into something soft like a snow drift.

I don't think there is an altitude limit... in any case I don't think you are going above 4000 meters... they should be ok...

I would say that its quite possible. Mountain biking is very physical but you can take it easy and not strain too much.
