Happy Howie's Birthday Spring Break 08, Colorado Style.

Tb_13k Devoid of topless sorority girls and fat frat boys playing beer pong one might think that Team Bronski members may have missed out this spring break being in Colorado but one would be wrong. There was snow to be had and a bright sun to ride under, the weather couldn't have been more decent which is more than I can say about a certain resorts layout. (It rhymes with fleckenridge) Once you finally GOT someplace those some places were very nice. Some of the best terrain was not even captured with footage because the riding was so good no one wanted to stop and yank out a camera. The manly men hiked up to the 13,000 foot top a bunch of times but I could only manage one trip up. What can I say, I am a chairlift fan and also a 16 floors above sea level dweller. 13,000 feet does amazing things to my body, things usually confined to horror movies and nature films but the hike is worth it. We also were privileged to live through the great potato scare of 08, rescued by Drew's avalanche pole, NICE WORK, a vicious game of quarters complete with chicks making farting noises and the wearing of corn chip yamikas, shredding the Nar and some other events I can not get into due to certain (outdated if you ask me) laws.

Next year I get my fat ass on a treadmill before hiking in to space. Anyway, enjoy the short film below and click here for a higher resolution, wider screen version in Flash (god bless Flash video). Until next time Colorado, I will will be sucking on my oxygen mask and thinking of Keystone or A-Basin or Loveland.

Happybox's Team Bronski Wallpapers.

Winter is fun. Some people, like myself, enjoy winter outside from time to time but most enjoy winter in front of the warm glow of their computer screens. So be it. From Team Bronski's latest venture to Killington, VT I bring you 3 exciting new wallpapers. These were taken from my Pentax 8 mega pixel camera and brought down to size in Photoshop. They are available in 2 fun sizes! Lame ass 1024 X 768 and amazingly beautiful 1920 X 1200.

Screw Milk, Got Oxygen? Images Of A Keystone Xmas.

Mean_elf Okay so I stole that off a T-shirt from Keystone Colorado last week. My girlfriend and I joined some friends up there to celebrate xmas and such, but really to ski and snowboard. Jennie picked it up in 3 days fully linking turns and making it down the 3 mile trail. The whole pod helped train her and the crash course paid off. She may be black and blue but she is a black and blue snowboarder now. Other than spending time teaching the painful art of riding, we did stuff like this. So yes there was some drinking. The room was not up to slope side standards, at least of the twenty first century, so I let them know in the guest book. The party alligator stayed in the room to watch over things while every day we hit the mountains. The windows were particularly fun although they took another piece of Jbird this time in the form of a bruised spleen and liver. The woods love to inflict pain. J is a tough fella so I am sure he will be out and about in the windows real soon. In the mean time I made this little movie for you to watch while you re-coop. Oh, and you don't need to have sore ribs to watch it either.
