Snow Bro

I have beed struggling recently with what to call the population of skiiers at the local Tahoe resorts on twin tips, rocking Skull Candy’s and wearing the kind of day-glow baggage that I wore to school about 20 years ago. You know the type. Equally at home in the park as the cliffs and always pounding PBR on the chairlift, and fixing their hair in their reflection in your goggles.
Well they have a name…
Snow Bro
“Can be identified by big colorful shades,(80s types or aviators) shaggy hair flocking in the air, striped beanies, big oversized: jackets, basketball jerseys, tall tees, or big snow pants, have wide stance on their snowboard for steeeze. Drag out their words like they’re retarded like “yaaa broo so gnarly sooo gnarls. I never thought i was gonna ride that one out” Snow bros are everywhere but must abundantly found at CU and CSU campus’s. Usually wannabes but the true snow bros know how to shred.” -Urban Dictionary
Here’s how you become a Snow Bro
“Get steezed out. Bright colors and flat-brimmmed caps will help with this. Bonus points for stylie wrap-around sunglasses. Don’t forget the brodana as an essential accessory with many uses.” Read More
I supposed this is what we have to look forward to. Anything is better than stretch pants and powder jackets.

What’s wrong with stretch pants?
There is no accounting for other peoples’ taste in fashion.

Good God…as someone who lived through (and somehow survived) the 80′s in real time, I can only say that the enthusiasm for retro-80′s anything is utterly baffling. Repeat after me, everyone…the 1980′s sucked ass in just about every possible way. The music stunk, the pubs stunk, men wore pink (PINK, people…PINK!!), singles fern-bars were the rage, and culture was littered with obnoxious, materialistic douchebags whose goals in life were topped by the pursuit of 100-hp so-called “Porsches”, bags of coke, and the next deep and meaningful one-night stand. Ah yes, a 944, a Members-Only jacket, a line or two and Depeche Mode on the (casette) stereo…could life get any better? Barf, barf, vomit, vomit.
A public notice to all sno-bros, and anyone else walking around in teal-colored duds these days…get the hell off the 80′s thing already.
