- Yves Morin was a French alpinist. He was the first to ski off the top of Annapurna I in 1979, which is one of the "eight-thousander" mountains in the Himalayas in Nepal. Over the course of the 1979 expedition he skied all segments of the descent, but eventually died while descending from the summit on a very steep ice section around 22,300 feet. His ascender got stuck and eventually he died of exhaustion.
Morin was featured in the 1979 documentary film "Annapurna, premier 8000 à ski", directed by Bernard Germain, one of the members of the 1979 expedition (along with Morin and Germain, other members included Dr. Lucien Adenis, Michel Berquet, Jean-Louis George, Henry Sigayret, Benoit Renard and three Sherpas - Dawa Gyalzen, Chawang Rinzee and Dahunga Pemba Lama). - Martin Minarík was born on 27 November 1967 in Benesov, Czechoslovakia [now Czech Republic].
