  • From the mind of Chris Benchetler comes TGR's latest short film collaboration with Flagship Independent. Improvisation is the silver thread that weaves this crew together. Just as the Grateful Dead did not fit their music into an established category, this short film finds a cast of some of the world’s best athletes on a spontaneous journey of skiing, snowboarding, surfing, and music, complete with a soundtrack comprised of only Grateful Dead music.
    Narrated by Hall of Fame basketball player and television sportscaster Bill Walton with music supervision by David Lemieux, audiovisual archivist and legacy manager for the Grateful Dead, Fire On The Mountain features some of action sports’ most legendary athletes: snowboarding’s Jeremy Jones, Danny Davis, Kimmy Fasani, surfing icon Rob Machado, and skiers Michelle Parker and Chris Benchetler. Captured over the course of the winter by cinematographer Tyler Hamlet with the help of Sweetgrass Productions, the visual journey features never seen before visual effects within nature and original artwork by Benchetler and Skye Walker.

    I'm not surprised that this turned out so well coming from the mind of a Mammoth local. I'm a snowcat mechanic at Mammoth and remember when they were shooting the night riding. It took a lot of cat support and the cats always break down more during storm cycles. All I knew at the time was that Benchetler was doing something on Hemlocks with lights and Dead music. Glad to be a part of it.
    All the events and competitions, plus everyday grooming, that depend on snowcats, would eventually come to a standstill without snowcat mechanics. Without snowcat mechanics, every ski area would be littered with broke down snowcats.

    I saw them at the Lyceum, London '72. Amazing show & sound; we were mid-floor level. My English friends had never heard of them (!) and at first they were totally thumbs down....(they were into Yes and prog rock). BUT.... by about 4th song they were up dancing and they totally never stopped all the way through One More Saturday NIght (which was orgasmic) ....they became total deadheads right in front of me.
