American Ski Mountaineer, Hilaree Nelson, 49, missing from Mt Manaslu, Nepal

On May 25, 2012, American ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson became the first woman to ascend two 8000-meter peaks in a single 24-hour effort.

Ski legend Hilaree Nelson is missing on Mount Manaslu

Big mountain skier Hilaree Nelson, 49, was recently seen getting close to Manaslu’s top as her partner Jim Marrison flew down. This morning, the Himalayan Times broke the story.

She reportedly fell into a crevice while Nelson and Morrison were beginning to ski down from the genuine peak of Manaslu. According to The Times, she plunged about 25 meters into a chasm. This report is hours old, and circumstances have probably changed since. However, other climbers on the mountain claimed Morrison was skiing down while their guides were waiting at camp four.

Nelson, a mother of two, is regarded as one of the most skilled skiers ever. She has participated in over 40 expeditions to 16 different countries and made dozens of first descents. Her accomplishments include being the first person to ski down Lhotse Couloir in 2018, winning National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2018, skiing down Papsura Peak in India in 2017, climbing Cassin Ridge on Denali in June 2017, becoming the first woman to ski down Makalu La Couloir in Nepal in 2015, and summiting both Everest and Lhotse in one push in 2012.

Nelson is a top-tier winter athlete for The North Face.
