Beira, the Queen of Winter<\/a>, is the mother of all Scottish gods and goddesses?<\/p>\nYou\u2019ve had to pause for reflection twice within the first 10 seconds of the film if, like me, you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t expect that effect to go away. Lesley McKenna and Lauren MacCallum may not be the Queens of Winter \u2014 but they\u2019re pro snowboarders and they’ve got a lot to say. Contemplative narration dovetails here with an ardent style of riding that’s hard to find on piste.<\/p>\n
Would you ride that? Yeah, me neither \u2014 but then again, I don\u2019t have thrawn.<\/p>\n
Stubborn energy<\/h2>\n
\u201cStubborn is definitely part of it,\u201d MacCallum says. \u201cA transformative energy, a powerful energy, aye \u2014 very needed in these times. The struggle \u2014 the thrawness.\u201d<\/p>\n
This Patagonia joint is all about the athletes\u2019 deep-rooted backgrounds and contagious personalities. You don\u2019t have to watch much of it to get a strong infusion of both qualities \u2014 but you should, because they\u2019re both colorful and compelling.<\/p>\n
