99-year-old man skis down Mont Blanc
In a feat that would challenge many people half his age, a Japanese man celebrated his 99th birthday by skiing down western Europe's highest mountain, Mont Blanc.
Mr Keizo Miura made his way down an off-piste run in the celebrated Vallee Blanche area on Wednesday with 40 people and 10 guides, including his 70-year-old son Yuichiro and his 37-year-old grandson Yuta, a mere youngster in the group.
