Wanna direct me to that thread so I know how to handle frozen brakes?

A propane torch can also work... every driver carries one in the winter, right? -
Actually, the best idea is try not to let them freeze in the first place. I usually only set my tractor brake. When you're going through areas where your brakes can freeze, when you pull into the truck stop, you can drag your brakes a little while you're looking for your parking spot. This will usually remove enough moisture that your brakes won't freeze.
Since you will be going to Sage, be sure to ask an instructor. Because you're in Colorado, the instructor should know how to do this.
And, as Krooser said, your last resort is beating the crap out of them with a hammer if they do freeze. -
