On July 23rd we were at Cheekwood Gallery & Gardens for their Thursday Night Out series. We enjoyed music from Big Shoes as well as the massive model train set they had winding throughout the gardens.

Our July Gastronomic Gallivant was at Butcher & Bee in Historic Edgefield. Our reservation filled up quickly and a wonderful (and delicious!) time was had by all. These Gallivants typically fill up quickly so make sure to sign up for the next one if you're interested.

On July 18th we took our kayaks to the base of Burgess Falls, one of the truly unique waterfalls in the area. It was a great way to beat the summer heat!

On July 10th we kicked off our 2027 ski season with presentations about our trips and then opened up registration to our members. Want to come with us but not a member? Click on JOIN in the menu above to start the process!

On June 27th we were back at Crockett Park, this time enjoying the dueling pianos of Cruzin' Keys and the goofy fun of Rubik's Groove. If you don't have plans for the 4th, join us at Crockett Park for the season finale!

On June 24th we escaped the heat by heading to Tee Line Curling. We started off with a happy hour and then got down to the business of sliding and sweeping!

On June 14th some of us enjoyed the Eaglemaniacs show at Crockett Park. It was a great evening of music by Eagles and Don Henley. If you didn't get to join us then there are two more concerts remaining so mark your calendars now!

On June 6th three of our intrepid members headed over to East TN to tackle the challenging Honey Creek Loop hike. Kevin, George, and Steve conquered the loop and are ready for the next adventure!

On June 2nd we were at The Food Company in Green Hills for our monthly meeting. We enjoyed perfect weather and it was a great build up for our meeting next month where we'll start accepting signups for our ski trips!

On May 31st we met up for the first of the Brentwood Summer Concert Series at Crockett Park. The Wanna Beatles performed the best of the Fab 4 and we had a great time hanging out and listening.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo at our May Membership Meeting in Cool Springs. We're gearing up for a lot of fun events in the spring and summer while looking ahead to our 2027 ski trips!

Be sure to join us on June 2nd for our next meeting. It'll be our tune-up for the "big meeting" in July where we start accepting ski trip sign-ups!

On April 25th several of us did the Old Stone Fort hike in Murfreesboro. It was perfect weather for a hike and the scenery was gorgeous!

Our April meeting was at Crow's Nest in Green Hills where we held elections for our board members and officers. Congrats to those who were elected!

We're fortunate to have some very talented people in our club! Thanks to member Howard H. for shooting, editing and posting the videos below. They're from our Winter Park and Steamboat trips.

On March 21st we visited Leiper's Fork Distillery, learned how their products are made and indulged in some samples! More pictures are in the Photo Gallery.

Our final trip of the 2025-26 ski season was to Snowmass where we enjoyed beautiful bluebird skies and the gorgeous scenery including the Maroon Bells.

Our March meeting was at McNamara's in Donelson where our members shared all the fun things that happened on the Steamboat and Telluride trips. As a bonus we got to listen to some live Irish music!

If you missed this meeting, be sure to join us next month in Green Hills!

In late February we visited Telluride and were blessed with gorgeous sunshine almost every day. Is it any wonder this is one of our club's favorite resorts?!

In early February we took a group to Steamboat and had an outstanding time. We had a great welcome party and a couple of other group dinners included. Steamboat is a club favorite and if you missed this trip, you missed out!

Lea Brosky

Hometown: Nashville
When did you first join the ski club? 1991
Ski club offices held: Board Member, Webmaster, Newsletter Editor, Assistant Trip Leader
Favorite ski resort? Big Sky

What’s the best trip (traveling wise) you ever had?
Possibly my 2019 trip with two friends to New Zealand and Australia. Among the three of us we had 30 flight segments, over 60,000 miles flown on six different airlines. And all the bags made it on every flight and none of the flights were delayed!

If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
I think Australia, Iceland or Austria. Or maybe Italy. Ireland? Scandinavia was awesome too.

Are you a member of any other clubs or organizations?
I play on a trivia team each week. Pre-pandemic we did well enough to make it to the "nationals" (though it didn't cover every state) a few times though we never won anything once we got there. Post-pandemic the tournaments seems to stop at the regional level.

What’s your favorite seat on an airplane?
As far as the actual seat, so far it's the Marc Newsome-designed "open suites" in Qantas A380 First Class. But it was also cool to be one of only 3 first class passengers in ANA's 777-300ER and have them make up a bed for me across the aisle!

How many countries have you visited outside the US?
35

Do you have any pets? What are their names?
I currently have a former foster dog named Franny, a black lab-mix.

What's your favorite concert you've attended?
Got to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 6 times; the first time a fellow intern won tickets to see them at Municipal Auditorium in the mid-1980s. About halfway through the show I realized I'd found a band that seemed to know just the kind of music I liked. I also loved going to the Volunteer Jams where I learned to appreciate bands/musicians/singers of various genres.

What is your favorite zoo animal?
All of them! Red pandas are adorable but I also love lizards. Watching the Crocodile Hunter for many years gave me a new appreciation for animals that aren't so cute and cuddly. It was a huge thrill to finally be able to visit Australia Zoo a few years ago.

What is your favorite candy or treat?
Dark chocolate

What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever eaten?
Yak. Tastes pretty much like cow.

What is your favorite dessert?
Fudge pie with vanilla or chocolate chip ice cream

What is your favorite hobby?
Saving money on travel using airline miles and hotel points. For that 2019 trip to Australia & New Zealand we only paid cash for 3 flight segments, I think, among all 3 of us. And none of those segments were longhaul flights. Since 2015 my travel goal has been never to fly over an ocean in economy and I've managed to make that happen except between Australia and New Zealand and Fiji. See my blog at 2BTraveling.net for tips on earning points and miles without flying and for airline, hotel, and destination reviews. You can also follow 2BTraveling on X (Twitter), Instagram, and Blue Sky.

What are your other favorite sports to participate in?
I used to love playing softball but those days are long over.

What are your favorite sports to watch?
I would say Predators hockey but they always seemed to lose when I watched so I stopped watching. I do enjoy going to a baseball game in person, whether MLB or MiLB, once every few years. Always fun when I (a Cardinals fan) and a good friend who is a Cubs fan can catch a game together between our favorite teams.

What crazy activities do you dream of trying someday?
Going to Antarctica

What show did you binge watch embarrassingly fast?
MI5 (known as Spooks in the UK), a British show about their domestic terrorism unit that I didn't see until it had been over for 10 years. Though it's fiction and aired 2002-2012 it's amazing how accurate some of their predictions about world events were!

What is your favorite holiday?
Thanksgiving

During the pandemic did you learn a new skill or improve an old one?
For awhile I got better at bass guitar but then I started fostering dogs and then adopted one and that went out the window.
