Krate: Queen of the Catskills



Donate to help iF3

After a series of traumatic events, a high school English teacher in the South Bronx begins retreating to the mountains looking to heal. As the wilderness starts to mend her broken spirit she rediscovers a past love of skiing and embarks on a multi-year quest to become the first woman to backcountry ski 33 of the highest peaks in the Catskill Mountains—alone.

Queen of the Catskills is a raw, moving portrait of one woman's defiance against her past, and the unforgiving landscape that will either break her... or set her free.
