’90s kids will recall with nostalgia the lost art of the mixtape. These carefully assembled creations were intended to convey a particular mood or vibe, to accompany a road trip or woo a romantic interest.
The new “Mixtape” from Benshi Creative has been getting a lot of love online since its drop last week, and for good reason. This masterful mix from a crew of creative Montana skiers and filmers has been crafted with love and attention. There’s a diversity of ski action that will please the shredder’s soul in all of us, from backcountry booters and urban rails to spicy steeps and fluffy pillow lines — not to mention the gnarliest backflip over a running avalanche since Sverre Lillequist’s legendary send at the Skier’s Cup in 2013. The music, storytelling, editing and VFX brings everything to a finely honed point. Press play and enjoy a mixtape like they don’t make ’em anymore.
