There's so much to love about this film, most of all the passion for our planet and community that snowsports brings out in people. Lesley and Lauren have a real skill for harnessing this and finding practical ways to not only inspire behavioural change, but to help that change be a positive process. Hannah and her team did a great job of capturing that feeling. It is important to discuss the severe impacts of climate change in frank terms. However films like this, and the initiatives shown in it, bring us back to that fundamental love we have for our planet and the playground it provides. Great work everyone involved
A braw wee film, we certainly needed tae be thrawn growing up and skiing on the other side o' the Gorms too - usually in a white out on ice :). Love that the film weaves our culture, the power of the Cailleach, climate change activism, community, love for the land, the spirit of adventure (and silliness) and wee bit o feminism thrown in there too! Mair power tae yer elbow quines!
I have Super 8 footage of my grandad travelling up to Aviemore from the midlands to learn to ski at the age of 55. I'm now making the plans for a trip after watching this, so inspiring. Great filmmaking. Thank you! p.s. might get the word Thrawn tattooed on my arm
This is a great film. There is a fair bit of dramatic licence. Aviemore is not cut off or remote. It's on the Highland Mainline and the A9 is right beside it.
What a fantastic movie. Made me hanker for home. Last time i was in Aviemore was a school trip in, well ir was a long time ago. Thats for the wee trip down memory lane. And for making those voices heard.
That's a fine film ya got there! Never skied it - but I know the stoke - I know the passion. Good on you to do this - raise your voice and raise a pint to our Mother Earth!
I returned to London from Aviemore yesterday. I went for my second season of winter hiking and across just two days I could feel the marked difference between each, along with a difference from the same time last year. It's precious. And I'm really pleased to see the town recognising that they need to take action collectively. Appreciate this perspective and conversation.
I learned to snowboard here, from the age of 6 my Dad would drive me to Cairngorm - we even slept in our camper in the car park! In my mid twenties now and we are going snowboarding in two weeks ❤🏂
It's one of the reasons i'm vegan, for the environment and natural world, so that those that follow can enjoy what those ahead of us have. Great film, thanks for producing and sharing.
Scots as a regional lowland language (used with English)historically. Gaelic language is most prevalent in the Scottish highland and island. Very outdoors person myself in the Scottish Highlands and never heard the word Thrown before.
Great film 💪 Highlands and Islands Enterprise has run down the Cairn Gorm ski centre at vast expense to the Scottish taxpayer. The fiasco with the funicular railway is just one example of their incompetence. The Scottish Government should remove HIE from Cairn Gorm and allow Aviemore and Glenmore Community Trust to manage it
Well said Ian, there are missing millions between HIE and the leisure company they picked to run it. Tax payers money. Now it nackerd again they will surely have a 2million pound enquiry to find out why. Im really starting to hate whats happening in this country.
@@eddiefleming7302 Aye, Natural Retreats, the company that had no experience of running a ski centre and squirreled away our taxes in their American parent company. The whole debacle stinks of corruption and mis-management and our government seems content to ignore it 🤬
Beautiful movie. Why is no one paying attention to Soot that is puked into the atmosphere and deposited inside snow. Deep soot absorbs the UV radiation that the snow would normally be reflected back out into outer space. Back when "Global Cooling" was the thing Scientests wanted to cover the poles with soot to absorb radiation and warm the earth. Back then there was no polar civilian airctaft flight paths. Now we have Commercial passenger aircraft flights flying over the poles puking out huge ammounts of black soot. Aircraft need to be restricted to +55 Degrees to -55 Degrees in latitude unless the aircraft is fitted with a particulate filter. Capturing soot is a lot easier than capturing CO2
Well, in Fukuoka, Japan...it's a COLD Winter for Patagonia Japan workers with union-busting and worker exploitation efforts: ua-cam.com/video/ZvoiiK6wkVs/v-deo.htmlsi=cRQPK6TfULFyZmyW
Ah a proper Scottish snow video, with real Scottish folk. I really enjoyed that.

Thank you Patagonia for giving us the opportunity to use the inspiration in our community and tell their story 🖐️

Fantastic wee film, I wonder if that’s the legends Myrtle Simpson at 13:07
well done lesley, lauren, willy and cora 👏👏
Great little flick! Now I gotta bring my splitboard when I finally make it to Scotland to connect with my roots!
Great wee film. Very much like Central Otago NZ. Beautiful!
I love that drop down to Loch Avon at the back of Cairngorm, but it's a steep climb out!
Absolutely beautiful 🥰
That's a fine film ya got there! Never skied it - but I know the stoke - I know the passion. Good on you to do this - raise your voice and raise a pint to our Mother Earth!
So good! I've many ancestors from Scotland but never been. I need to go now!
I look forward to exploring all of Scotland's beautiful snowfilled 🏔️
Powerful film. Thanks for sharing. (USA)
Wow, this made me really emotional
Props to Lesley McKenna and Tim warwood!

Super inspiring , great job !!!
Beautiful film ❤
I love that you used Beluga Lagoon's music for this
Aviemore in February... 👀🤌🏼
2:03 - is that the stubborn snow in the gulley where they took out the chairlift - funny old world.
amazing as usual
Brilliant!

Thank you Lesley. Aye ye could be Queen of the Gorm.
Lived in Scotland my entire life, spent a lot of my time up in the mountains and I've never once heard the word "thrawn"...
Awesome!
Really inspiring, great story telling! 👏🏻
What is the song?
great music by Beluga Lagoon!!!
Was expecting a blue guy in white was going to ski past! *Grand Admiral Thrawn
Same wonder how many other Star Wars fans came across this and thought the same thing lol
What is the song that starts at 8:38 please?
Brilliant
I was hiking in winter and fell down a rabbit hole. Luckily I had walking poles to assist me. Take care out there
Scotland is an unbelievably beautiful country
What's the song at the beginning?
Beluga Lagoon - Still
Solid
Braw that 💙 🏴
Bravo! Not quite the definition of “thrawn” I grew up with, though. Usually directed at an obstinate person and accompanied by an expletive.
its a tough stuberness which of course can be good and bad

"when you find a good day..."
When? 😂
when the roads are closed...
Mountain biking. See stories of Cuyuna mtb trail Crosby mn
☮️
Unfortunately those good days are few and far between in Scotland nowadays
its similar to NZ but with smaller mountains
*better mountains
Shred Glencoe 👍🦄😸🏴❄️⛷️

This video copy and paste the Lonely Planet series style 😂 any way i lo patagonia stuff!
Shame the conditions are so unreliable
12:55 - complete tosh. What about the millions in government grants Cairngorm Mountain has received [and wasted]?
THRAWN: adj. Wilfully obstructive and/or unco-operative and/or contrary. Nothing more, nothing less.
Excellent film 🙌
Tremendous sounds @belugalagoon 🏴
what's the song name?
