Growing up in Bishop California meant Chris Benchetler had Mammoth Mountain and the Sierra Nevada range at his doorstep. This immersive experience has shaped Chris as both an athlete and an artist.

One of the most progressive backcountry skiers of all time, Chris has already cemented himself into the freeskiing hall of fame. From starring in films by the likes of Poor Boyz Productions and Teton Gravity Research, to his more recent project, Fire On The Mountain in which he collaborated with The Grateful Dead. 

When it comes to his art, Chris has a style that’s entirely unique. The inspiration he’s absorbed from his time spent in extreme nature shapes and influences his portrayal of shapes, lines and characters.
