Chris Bentchetler and Ross James | Interview | Mar. 20, 2026

Skier and artist Chris Bentchetler stopped by KHOL to discuss the screening of his new film, "Mountains of the Moon." The screenings at the Center for the Arts featured an immersive art installation in the lobby and a live scoring of the movie by Ross James and members of the Terrapin Family Band. Bentchetler and James discussed their connections with members of the Grateful Dead, the underlying artistic vision that influences backcountry skiing, and how the film evolved into a multi-media visual and auditory experience.
