(7/10) Is the death of snowsports partly a state of mind? Friend of AU @NeonStash's new film, with @LesleyMckenna, is a fun caper of Scottish lines ridden with powerful enthusiasm – and an exhibition of the abundance mindset required for anything approaching a degrowth future.

“Thrawn” is a Scottish word specific to the Highlands, meaning “stubborn” but in a good way. It's a struggle to make the most of what you’ve got, and for locals like @LesleyMckenna, it means a great day is judged by the work you put in. Watch Thrawn: pat.ag/thrawn

Knee-deep powder above deep-blue lochs—what more could a snowboarder want? Conditions can be harsh in the Scottish Highlands, but even @lesleymckenna will tell you that a good day there is at least as good as anywhere else. Watch Thrawn: pat.ag/thrawn

In the Scottish Highlands, the word “thrawn” means the virtuous stubbornness. Professional snowboarder Lesley McKenna was raised on this, and she has redefined snowboarding limits while championing her roots. Discover her story in Hannah Bailey's film: pat.ag/thrawn

Coming soon. The Meaningless Pursuit of Snow follows a cast of far-flung characters, all united by a backcountry culture so deep it spans languages and generations, and all chasing the same essentials: nature, the joy of the struggle and community. Read: pat.ag/fallmpos
