Day 3 Evening
Hi Everyone -
Tonight we made the scenic drive to Steamboat Lake. It has been such a joy for all of us to work in Colorado this year; it is so beautiful up here in he summertime, we just needed to take the quick trip to Steamboat to catch some of it!
We decided to shoot two of our veterans this evening. We knew it was going to be a good day. The sunshine was bright, the boats were ready to go and our staff was on their best game. I must say that we really are equipped with the best people – we’ve been lucky enough to bring back a team that we’ve used for our past several calendars. We have Rob Hawthorne as our photographer this year; Sedrique Olison as our creative makeup artist, and Todd Putman as our hair stylist from Antoine du Chez.
Our first shot of the evening was Val Scott. She was a striking vision in her cherry red swimsuit as she relaxed on the back of a Speedboat. Erica Golding finished us off for the evening for a sunset shot that officially brought us to the halfway point with the completion of our 2009-2010 calendar. We raced on a speedboat over to the other side of the lake to setup and catch the sunset. Erica hopped off the boat and into the water just in time to snap the perfect shot! As the Steamboat sun set it glistened off the water showing us why Colorado really is the best state in the world!
Day 4
Since we have been working away on the calendar, we decided we deserved to take a little break and get out side to enjoy, the sun, the activities, and the local experience-we were not disappointed! There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, so we thought it would be fun to hit the gondola plaza and enjoy some of the plaza games.
The afternoon was power packed with bull riding, rock climbing, trampoline adventures and fabulous food! This year we have several new rookies on the team, so this was a fun opportunity to relax and spend a little time getting to know each other. We hadn’t had enough fun yet so we decided to head over to the ultimate Alpine Slide, The Howler. This slide is a 2,400-foot track that rages through Howelsen Hill-all the girls raced each other to the bottom. The gondola ride gave us the best bird’s eye view in town of downtown Steamboat Springs. This was such a great mid-week event-it gave us the boost we’ll need to make it through the home stretch of the calendar shoot.
After all of the fun and games it was time to get back to work. We knew just the cheerleader who could help us get the right jumpstart-Sara Oliver. Sara’s shot put her poolside on a property that Steamboat Prudential helped us discover. This property was tucked away in the Hills of Steamboat with a pool that you really have to see to believe! Sara kept the shot lively with her bright smile.
In the evening, we drove back to Steamboat Lake Marina – we had so much success here the other evening that we had to come back for more. Allyson Daniels was so energetic that it made it fun for the whole staff. She took a beautiful shot about 20 feet out into the lake. This was a fun shot because we had some Broncos Country locals that decided to stay for the shoot and cheer on the home team! Bri Bateman finished the evening with a sunset shot on the pier. Shooting in Colorado has presented some different elements for shooting the calendar as far as weather. One of the dynamics that reminded us that we were in nature tonight was the mosquitoes – they came out with a vengeance. We didn’t let them stop us and Bri didn’t even flinch-we ended up with yet another beautiful sunset shot!
One of the most memorable parts of our trip back to the Marina was the sweet treat at the end. Karl, the Marina manager, gave us samples of the best fudge in Colorado. The ‘Fudge Lady’ makes this infamous fudge and I can vouch that this was the without a doubt the sweetest way to finish off the day!

TIME OF POSSESSION! ! !
GO BRONCOS ! ! !
Thanks for the post Keela,
I live here in Steamboat, were can we meet the squad?
Best post ever!
Nice Try Monodono!
I should probably go back and read the post now.
Orange Crush on Erica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still works for me…….
what?
Seriously can we get some quality news about the players and not these half naked hones’s? **cough**
Very sexxxy, but we need some news about players.
P.S. As a woman what the heck was Kyle Orton wearing at the military base? Were those loafers without socks?? Boy I thought we’d have a quarterback with at least better taste in clothes than Cutler. LOL.
Broncochick, seriously, are you a chick or a seedy old dude?
I think I have an orange crush on Sara. LOL
Oh hai guise, did you miss me? Probably not…but Cdud I agree Sara probably the hottest followed very closely by Janelle. I don’t know to me the rest look, dare I say, old?
ok, I finally decided and ordered my jersey. guess who I got!
Dawkins?
No, Dumervil
D@MM!T, you just ruined my surprise, TROLL!
did anybody notice Rebecca ‘Bolan’? the name sounds familiar. just saying
Nope doesn’t sound familiar…just sayin’ unless your talking about Anne Boleyn
Deify_you… wow sarcasm, thats new. *eye roll* didnt say it was the same as Pat Bowlen, just said it sounded familiar. key word “SOUNDED”
Brianne is my Fav!!!!!! very sexy girl!!! i also like sara
start woodyard chant start it up
Erica’s looking good in the first picture. These sexy ladies are going to have an excellent team to cheer for on the field. GO BRONCOS!!! Cutler plays for the Bears who don’t have any cheerleaders. Loser!
Erica would be my first vote , Rebecca in a close 2nd, but they are all fine looking ladies.
I would like to know a little more about how are defense is doing and if we are going to be able to keep Marshall with us.
BroncoBoy2012 no idea where you get sarcasm from, in fact Pat Bowlens name never occured to me. Even so I won’t take the time to comprehend what your saying.
PS Good Morning Broncos Country.
I was gonna say something about Kyle Ortons attire yasterday, but decided to refrain. I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed the grandpa outfit he was rocking. And what about the hair. But hey, who am I to knock him? He’s a stud anyways, and probably a really great guy and role model. But his fashion taste is questionable. Just saying. And I love the calender photos. Very nice, looking forward to seeing these girls do alot of “cheering” this year as Denver handles the biz.
Hey Keela,
Sorry I misdirected this post to your earlier entry – so I’ll post again here just to make sure it gets through to you.
It’s great to hear from you again. Thanks so much for bringing us up to date on the calendar shoot. As fans we’re so proud of all you ladies – current cheerleaders and alums.
Not sure if you received the e-mail I sent to the DBC address about FanFare 09. What a great time and I was so glad to meet all the girls I had a chance to meet.
How are things going with your graduate school? I hope well.
And thanks for taking the time to blog with us.
Don
I’m a journalism student; I’m also both an off-campus newspaper reporter and a news anchor for a public radio station.
My two favorites are Erica Golding and Lauren Gardner.
Though Lauren is no longer on the squad, I like that Altitude TV chick anyway.
I got cable, but I don’t get Erica’s network (VistaTV). However, I went to the website, and her reporting is second to none.
half way agree with news caster erica is the HOTTEST of them but id say janelle isnt that far off….burnettes are better than blondes. nice change cant wait for training camp i wanna see the depth charts. and its soo boring without football my sunday seems to last forever
jw who moderates are comments?
Nice to see the ladies chillin in Steamboat, we REALLY appreciate what you do for the team, specially true before the season starts. Got no faves all of the girls look GREAT, thanks for great summer post. b seeing ya at the games
GO BRONCOS
Erica and Janelle are the finest, the rest are okay
I wish I could meet brianne bateman, what a women…… the rest look like sticks and need to eat!!!! women have nice curves right? GO BRONCOS
So what do you guys think about Darrell Reid (a DT) going to LB?… I think that’s crazy… So crazy, it just might work….
But really, I don’t know what to think about it… Any responses?
BroncoBailey, long time no blog.
yes, yes it has. I’ve been on (readin’ the comments and such) but havn’t had enough time to write my own…
Gonna be able to be on here more though again… Can’t wait for some more topical topcs… Like I like the cheerleaders and all, but there’s no topical discussions haha…
So how do people feel about Reid making a transition to LB?… pretty weird, but it may work…
I hope it does work. Doom and Reid would be one helluva tandom at OLB.
On the “Top Stories” it says “Switch Hitter”… So based off of that, He’s not gonna always be playing there, but he’ll be one of them Hybrid players… I think it’s a good idea… Now if it works or not, we’ll just have to wait…
What in blue blazin’?????? I havn’t been on here in FOREVER and once I come back… No one is on here giving their responses!…
BS – I’m with you more than 100%
Brianne Bateman is one BUILT woman.
The rest of the squad needs some meat on their bones.
NewsCaster, big or small, I love them all.
Ooooo My goodness
Broncobailey, why is you’re name in caps on you’re 10:49 post?
Darrell Reid has great exuberance and passion. To me, he’s one of the more underrated free agent acquisitions we’ve made. All will work well for the Broncos this season. Who cares if the mercurial media isn’t in bed with them? I can envision Queer Felipe sucking pretty badly for the San Diego Super Sparklers. The Faiders: to quote Ozzie Guillen: PLEASE! and the Chiefs will suck under Matt “Sand” Cassel. All the pieces are in place for the Broncos to shock the world. Also, it would be nice to meet Katy Kainer one day, the first Broncos cheerleader I ever “orange” crushed on.
It’s in caps because I used my laptop at the time… (it’s entered in all caps on there)… On the house computer, it was NOT all capsed… But it’s supposed to be all capsed… So I changed it…
LADIES, LADIES, LADIES!!! I love them all!!!!! especially when they wear the orange and blue mini with the pom-poms!!! Real Broncos do it in the ENDZONE! haha.
Broncos Get TEN wins this year guaranteed!!! Win the AFC West and host a home playoff game against Pittsburgh. Time for a little revenge!
I love me some DENVER BRONCOS!!!!!!!
Hey gang, I know it’s slow right now before training camp, so I wrote an article if you want to read.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/216688-champ-bailey-something-to-prove
Dynamicdave,
Great article! There was alot of good info in there about Champ that i didnt even know. I also too agree wtih you about having to go out there and prove everyone wrong. I think he should play with a huge chip on his shoulder. It is really unfortunate about Boss though, but seeing his track record of getting hurt i think it was possibly for the best.
Yeah, I was pulling for Boss, but it is a business and his injury was still in question. Oh, don’t be afraid to comment on that blog. Leaving a comment or opinion is always a good thing. Thanks again.
boss was pretty good, but we shoulda played him as d-end. that’s what we should’ve used him as (and I missed it if he did) but without DJ we may have needed him as a L-backer.
