The Chase, Directed by Josh Bogardus

The Chase is an East Coast ski film following Blake Keogh as he searches for snow, solitude, and connection. From childhood turns in sleepy hills of Western Massachusetts to backcountry lines throughout the world, Blake’s journey reflects why we ski: for the people, the places, and the pursuit itself. His 1971 Scotty camper serves as his winter base camp, a home on wheels for seasons spent chasing deep snow and a greater understanding of himself and the world around him.
