The No Fall Zone outside
When freeskier Kit DesLauriers dropped in at 29,035 feet on Mount Everest in October, she became the first person to ski off the Seven Summits. Kit, her husband, Rob, and photographer JIMMY CHIN—whose exclusive images appear here—also became the first Americans to ski from the top of the world's tallest mountain. Outside correspondent DAVE HAHN, who guided the climb, reports on the epic descent.

David Sharp's lonely death on Mount Everest revived the old, raging debates about personal ethics and the wisdom of commercially guided climbing.

Kingdoms in the Air outside
This is the story of a man from the West who came seeking the heart of the East. In 1991, photographer Thomas Laird became the first foreigner to live in Nepal's kingdom of MUSTANG as the forbidden Shangri-la prepared to open its borders to trekkers and trade. But when the prodigal son returned to see what ten years of the West had done to his beloved East, he found that everything—and nothing—had changed.
