BENCHMADE

MOUNTAIN

Overview

For Mountain, Benchmade partnered with Kota as its full-service production team—from concept through final delivery. The film follows Aspen Highlands ski patrollers as they navigate extreme terrain, avalanche control, and the relentless demands of mountain safety. From battling a blizzard on day one to capturing live dynamite blasts in waist-deep powder, Kota’s crew pushed deep into the elements to tell this story with authenticity and grit. The result is a raw, high-impact film that honors the precision, trust, and toughness behind both the patrollers—and the tools they carry.
