Chris Benchetler

Chris grew up in the nearby township of Bishop, but they don't get much snow there, so maybe that's why Benchetler only rides the deepest fluff now.  He'll be at the front of the line for the first gondy to the top every time it's snowing here, and on all those sunny days in between he'll be buttering around the parks.
