so STOKED for the season to get started in a few weeks!
You think pc will open early this year?
I don't comment often on RUclips but just wanted to say that I love your stuff. I'm a UT snowboarder and just appreciate your positive representation of the snow sport world. Unfortunately sometimes the pretentious or just negative side of the snow sports come up but you represent the opposite of that. The kind of person I love running into on the mountain. Keep it up man!
i really appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment man. you meet a lot of like-minded, positive ambassadors of the ski/snowboard world here, but there is also a loud group of negative people. we do this to enjoy the mountains and bring some joy to our lives - thats it. hopefully i will see you out there this year!
W comment and well put.
Let’s go!!!!!!!
Wife and I have been doing research on our ski trips this coming season. Every time you come on she says “his videos are just so much better. Video, audio, etc.”
Keep up the amazing work buddy.
i really appreciate that, brett! thanks for sticking with me for two years!
Custom footbeds are amazing. I got pair last year and made a big difference for me. They ket me upright in my boots, instead of pronating because I have flat feet.
great to hear! ive heard nothing but good things about footbeds so i am stoked to have a pair of my own this year!
Ski hype is getting real now! I grabbed a set of BC Atris and a bunch of avvy gear all for like 50% off. Hyped for the season and to see where you take the channel!
so sick bro! the BC atris is a ripper of a ski. stoked for you man!
I love these types of videos, they give me a look of what the best gear is for certain types of weather. Keep it up man!
Can't hardly wait. This is motivation to get to the gym more. Nobody ever stood at the top of a run and wished they'd worked out less.
love to hear that man! wise words.
Thanks for putting your input out there for all of us, love the behind the scenes videos like these!
appreciate that, drew! thanks for taking the time to watch!
Solid gear video. Found your channel a couple weeks back. Great stuff! Can't wait for this season!
Appreciate that man! Welcome to the channel!
love to see the progression in gear as the years have gone by lol. So freaking stoked for this season! LFG!!!!!!!
Yes dude so crazy looking back at my first gear video with only the stoke kings!
so hyped Lucas, love the vids man keep em coming!
thanks man! stoked you like them!!
Your 22/23 gear video was my favorite video man, this is an awesome continuation of the series, so stoked for the season in SLC
Awesome to hear that man! See you out there this year!
Anxious to see you in your new colors. I've always had insulted jackets so maybe this season I'll try a shell and modify the layers based on the conditions. A turtleneck is a must have for me.
yeah! it really all comes down to personal preference. cant go wrong with either, but it nice to have the lighter shell layer and be able to layer appropriately underneath. just gotta make sure you dress warm enough! :D
Getting the right boots for your feet is so crucial. Best money I’ve spent was on custom footbeds, zip fit liners and properly fitted boots. So hyped for the season!!
agree man! proper boots are the most important part of a good ski setup!
Good call on the powder leash. I was just out at Winter Park skiing the trees and someone lost one of his DPS skis. Those are big money skis.
I cannot wait for this season to start. The videos and the ski season are my favorite part of every year!
im stoked too! glad you like the videos!!
long time boarder here just wanted say keep up the positive vibes and content loving every minute . Let’s rip this season up 🎉
i appreciate the kind words man! glad you enjoy the channel.
Solid line up Lucas thanks for sharing. Been watching your work now gotta be 2-3 years and you’re super talented. It’s mid October and I’m going ballistic man so stoked for the season, squats on the way to work 😂. I’m an east coaster blessed usually once a year with a couple of days out west so my fat (for me) DPS Foundation 112’s are like carvers in your quiver. Anyway, I wanted to recommend some Marino wool in your base layers naturally keeps odor away and better performance over synthetics. I recommend Icebreaker or Stoic, Smartwool also makes decent stuff. I’m a mitt wearer but I can understand why you use gloves working cam all day. LFGooooooooo!
thanks daniel! appreciate you watching for so long! heard nothing but good things about DPS skis so im sure they rip! i do need some more wool in my kit. i have one midlayer somewhere that is merino wool, but i dont think the 2 sets that I have will be enough for the amt of skiing we will do this season! thanks dude!
Definitely a large element of preference to most ski gear. Also where you'll be skiing. I've heard you mention that in the past so kind of echoing that. I don't care for Nordica skis but a lot of people I've worked with love their stuff. Each to their own.
Hey Lucas, any recommendations on a backpack to wear while skiing? Didn't see anything discussed in this video, but have seen you use one and am looking for something to get for this upcoming season. Thanks!
Thx for the insights into your gear! I think this year I might try to replicate the base layer situation you've got going, and otherwise stick to one or two primary ski shells.
One thing I can't live without are gloves with wrist straps. Nothing better than popping the gloves off and letting em hang, so much less struggle/jank than trying to not drop my gloves while on lift or taking a break somewhere on mountain.
sweet! good point on the wrist straps haha think i used to have a pair of gloves with them years ago, but im just used to tucking my gloves under my legs when im on the lift at this point!
Also picked up a pair of Whitewalker 116s for this season, would love a video comparing them to the 116 jj’s given your experience on those sticks. Exited to see how they charge for the weight.
Keep up the great content man!! I first discovered your videos when I was looking into getting a pair of Armada skis, hopefully they'll sponsor you one day.
I also ski a lot of similar resorts, hope to catch you out there sometime!
awesome man - glad you like the videos! see you out there!
I have the S/pro 130. They are honestly the best boot I have skied. The heel pocket is very snug and you get so much control out of them.
stoked to hear that dude!
Let’s go so hyped for the season!!
me too!!
I ski mainly on the pistes of Europe and so I've just got the new 2024 Head Superhape e-Magnums with Protector PR13 bindings - as I have a partially torn ACL.
Going to test them on the indoor slopes in a couple of weeks time, then off to Italy in December.
awesome man! heres to a good season and that knee holding up!!
Appreciate the content. Interesting to see you to 'change it up" with the gear. On the legs, do you ever add an extra layer between base layer and pant shell in colder weather?
glad you like it! i dont typically add another layer. i find i dont really lose a lot of heat in my legs, but if i were - i have a set of spandex leggings i could wear.
Nice boots. Most shops only stock ~ 5 pair of high end boots in any one given model unless they have an e commerce site. Too late now but plenty on e commerce sites still have the Alpha 130 in stock.
Can’t wait to live vicariously through your season 😂
sharin the stoke together!
Thank you friend!
have you ever put a silk shirt in your baselayer rotation? It's always worked for me when it comes to wicking away sweat on those hikes!
Great video. Congrats on 50k!
thanks brian!
Love the content Lucas, park city local, hope to see you out there.
What’s your opinion on a pow ski for intermediate/advanced skier currently riding the ‘23 armada strangers? Arv 116 or whitewalkers? Want another in my quiver for the heavy days this winter…
thanks man! definitely see you out there.
tough for me to say without ever trying the WW yet. the JJ is going to be very similar to what you have in the stranger - poplar ash core, same flex pattern etc and it seems like on first glance, the JJ is a bit more tailored to all mountain skiing. the WW is stiffer and has less camber underfoot and is also the caruba core. cant go wrong with either imo but if you like the way the stranger skis, the JJ is going to have a lot of those same characteristics at 116 underfoot.
Rockin the atomic bent 110s this season. Dr. Benchetler really da goat
Awesome ski man! Bentchetler is really one of the best to do it!
Awesome content Lucas.
Did you go with the 110 or 130 attacks on your 116 wide skis?
thanks issac! i go smaller on my brakes and have the shop bend them out, so i have 110mm brakes on my 116s.
Gonna be moving out to park city next month for the winter! First time moving away from my home, FL. Hope to see you out there at some point!
thats awesome, garrett! super stoked for you! see you out there.
Over here praying for that proper Zipline/Stoke Squad collab! Nice video, so pumped for the season!
haha i know that would be sick dude!! thanks bro see you in march!
yewww let's gooo@@LucasCatania17
Smart wool ski socks 100% my favourite too
so nice man!
Let’s goooo stoke squad 🤙🤙🤙
Yes let’s go 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks for sharing all your recommendations and other videos! Love all the content. Pretty sure I'm going to be following your lead and getting the Armada ARV 116 JJs. Only thing I'm unsure of now is what bindings to pair them with. I'm looking at Marker Griffon 13 ID @ 120mm, but I'm not at all confident in that selection yet. If you have any opinion or a better suggestion, I would greatly appreciate the help. Watching all your videos has gotten me beyond excited for the upcoming season. Keep up the good work man!
i would 100% be confident with the griffon! that is one of the best bindings out there for the money. the only bindings that i would say are "better" would be 1. Look Pivot and 2. Tyrolia Attack but after that, i would go with the griffon. the salomon STH is another great binding.
Thanks for the assist. Cheers my dude!
I know you weren't planning on adding anything new to your quiver this year, but I heard the new version of the ARVs are getting some more tweaks for the 2025 version. They are also adding a 112 width ski. Any plan or interest in trying them?
The stoke is building!!
glad to hear that man!!
Loving all the new gear! So do you plan on not wearing montec at all this year? I know you talked about that a little in last weeks stream but can’t remember exactly what the final decision on that was.
thanks bro! probably wont wear too much montec anymore unless i end up not liking the armada kits!
@@LucasCatania17 danggg the end of an era! Excited to see the new kits in action though!
Armada, Armada, Armada, it’s great when you find a brand of anything that makes you happy.
Armada is going to miss the boat if they don’t reach out soon.
Yes! Truly love their skis so I’m giving their outerwear a shot this season!
What are your thoughts on the new BOA System Boots? K2, Atomic, Fischer, and Salomon?
Love the vids man, been watching for a few years now. Did you ever consider the Magic J's?
thanks man! and yeah - secretly want to try them out haha just hard to justify a 124 underfoot when i already have a 121!
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thanks!
Bro - disappointed in not rocking the Artic Camo! Such a fire look!
definitely one of my favorites over the years man!
im kind of a ski bum so i dont have the luxury of testing out all the new gear. luckily i found something i love. im rocking nordica cruise 120's for boots and nordica enforcer 93's / 177 skis. the boots are a godsend in terms of comfort and support and the skis are perfect for my all mountain needs. ive really had no reason to invest in anything else although i do need some pow skis. my homie has the armadas might want to give them a try. ive also had good luck with the fischer wateas and nrg's
Do you think baselayers are important ? I just hate them and find them not necessary.. I just wear a t-shirt and a fleece when I ski whether it is cold or not
LETS GOOOOO
sooo pumped man!
Do u know what they call the top sheet for the 2023 arv 96? (With the bear and golden river)
I’m pretty sure your gear review/line up last year was the first episode I ever watched. Probably watched 450+ since then 😂
you are an absolute legendm, man. one of the true, genuine, unconditional supporters of the channel here.
LETS GO HE DROPPED THE MONTEC
Good socks are very important. I’m always looking for the perfect ski socks
Is the Montec Doom a good ski jacket?
You need to switch out those base layer for Le Bent. Way better wet/dry wool.
Love seeing your gear each season. What happened to the Montec gear?
thanks man! just trying something new this year!
Can’t what it start in December and go to march EAST COAST SKIING 🎉🎉🎉
Let’s goo dude ! Hyped for you
You have quite the arsenal. Looks like you are ready to get after it.
thats the plan dude! now just need some pow hahah
what brand is your black t shirt you're wearing?
Switched it up last season to go with an uninsulated shell for both pants and jackets with insulating layer under. Will be interested to see if the down works for you or if it gets wet and loses its insulation(I'm in the PNW so wet is a little bit more of a concern). Went with a patagonia nano air jacket under since its synthetic and breathable and loved it. Think thats the only thing I'd pay full price on in my kit
good point!! i guess time will tell! hoping the 3L goretex keeps me dry!
I've been wearing uninsulated jacket shells partnered with a zipped roll neck base layer and lightweight down mid layer for the last five years. The performance in terms of warmth and movability is far superior. I'll never go back to all in one insulated jackets.
I've not tried uninsulated pants yet - maybe this is the year to try.
I love skiing but the back of my mind says it is an extreme sports and can involve injuries, so I have been holding off for years. Any feedback welcome - is ski a really dangerous sports?
Are those Armada jacket size XL or L?
how are the boots breaking in?
You broke a hanger last year with the montec ski suits haha the loyals would know
Lucas, come to Arizona ! Last season snowbowl got 399 inches ! Looking like breaking 400 this winter !
Sounds super rad! Would love to check it out one day!
Season starts for me in nov 10 so excited
nice man - thats so soon!
hey man, id say if you need a place to park near a-basin and keystone i live in dillon and have room in our driveway
appreciate that man. might take ya up on that!
Finally someone making good ski content that isn't a comp jock riding 163cm skis or a jerry. Thicker ski socks are less warm if your boots fit right, you're just reducing circulation.
“Good content” is all subjective. Everyone was/is a “jerry” at some point and we should encourage people to get into the sport, not dissuade them. Thank you for watching.
@@LucasCatania17 I totally agree everyone is learning at some point and there is nothing wrong with documenting and sharing ones experience. I guess I had poorly phrased what I meant. What I have seen is people who talk out of their ass sitting on some pedestal despite being pretty inexperienced themselves. Lots of content creators being fairly disingenuous either recommending garbage equipment. What I meant was your content comes off as authentic. Keep it up!
@rocketappliantist4969 I see! Thank you man. Not trying to sell anything to anyone, just sharing what I use. Appreciate it 🙌🏽
What does mips mean or stand for?
106 188 'nimble ski' is wild
Heyo that begging of the year skiing at abasin seems like it's going to be this weekend or next
i find it very difficult to believe its going to be this weekend to be honest!
@@LucasCatania17 stopped by to pickup my pass. Can confirm there’s not nearly enough snow and you can still see grass at some parts near the bottom. Maybe next week and for sure by November 1 seems to be the sentiment with all the crew I talked to.
Are you done with the Montec shells? You’re the reason I purchased mine
i'll likely still carry them with me! havent used my new setup yet, so i might end up not liking it!
Get some IKEA plastic hangers brother. They're super cheap, durable, and they hold their shape. I swapped all my hangers out 12, 13 years ago. I haven't need any replacement yet. Best on the market IMO.
Thanks for the rec man! I’m just using cheap ones from Walmart haha
How are the armada ski jackets after using them for a little considering buying one on sale for $480 right now, one question is the hood big enough to put over your helmet?
yes they fit over your helmet
@@LucasCatania17 great thank you!
I would like to look into Montec but I stick to north face only because of there great insulation
north face is great man! whatever works for you!
Cool that you're not in that insta-fabulous Montec gear this year.
Hi Lucas! Love your channel!
How much do you weigh?
Thanks! 185lbs.
50k! still betting on 100K+ by May! major grats!
Thanks man! I think 70k is more realistic 😂😂
Do you announce what sites you intend to ski this winter ?
not really! hard for me to stick to an actual schedule, so i dont typically announce the resorts im going to!
Those ARGs would work well behind a boat on a lake lol. Assuming they dont sink.
Lucas out here showing love for shorter poles
love short poles!
the whitewalkers might be some of the sickest looking skis ive ever seen (dont tell the stoke elk tho)
for real dude...gonna be hard to not want to rip those everyday!
I know why you said the disclaimer, but at this point Armada should sponsor you!!! Can’t think of a better ambassador to rip in their products
i appreciate that man. one can dream haha!
Surprised about the new outerwear considering your recent Montec video.
for the features you get at the price point offered, its tough to beat montec!
Could you make a video on GoPro recording techniques
yeah that would be rad!
Season hasn’t even started yet and those subs are racking up…
Bet you $5 this channel hits over 100k
I’m guessing 112k by Lucas’s last ski day.
If I’m right, you owe me a stoke squad sticker 😄
ha deal! i appreciate the optimism but thats more than double of where im at now.
my guess is 74k by last ski day.
It's Coming! Winter Shred 2024
itll be here soon!
Road to 100K this season! Dang, Armada should sponsor you at this point lol.
We’re still a long ways away but I appreciate it!
You need to try Schweitzer mountain in Idaho
i'd love to get out there one day!
Have you ever skied red mountain resort in rossland British Columbia?
No I haven’t.
@@LucasCatania17 unreal spot man one of the only ski hills in Canada you can ski 360 degrees around and still end up at a chairlift, dope terrain definitely check it out
You heading out east this winter?
Not in the plans as of now!
What’s the intro song??
i would like to get some bibs.. my back gets cold.. i do have an insolated jacket and a shell (for when it gets warmer)
i have a ton of facemasks and neck gators that i use..
last year my fingers and toes got really cold.. i do use some thinsulate socks and then some wool socks over the top... i have a couple pairs of mittens that i use and i do have a pair of gloves that i could wear under them but i don't
my good pair of goggles doesn't perfectly fit with my helmet.. i do have other goggles but i will probably still use my good pair.. i am probably not going to get a GOPRO but if i did i would probably mount it on the front of my helmet so that i can get my skis in the video.. first thing that i always look at is the skis..
i do have some self adjust poles.. they aren't that strong and they do slide sometimes.. i do like the big baskets on them.. i actually like a little longer poles just because it is easier to traverse the hills with them and also some of the cat tracks..
boots... when i moved out here the first thing the people at the ski shops said that i needed was boots.. i tried a lot of boots and the ones that i got fit my feet a lot better than all the others.. i have one pair of skis that when i ski them my feet move around in my boots.. i think it is more my skis than my boots.. i would like to try those boots that have the removable shell that you can also use as hiking/walking boots... they are like $900
skis.. the new JJs have a weird look.. I can see why you didn't get them
you mentioned the 106s and bringing them to Keystone and A-Basin.. It sounds like they represent the less snow and wind blown snow and the more icy conditions that Colorado has compared to Utah or California.. I will have to keep track if you go to Big Sky and if there are any other ski resorts over there.. If I see you on opening day at either Keystone or BRECK I might be on my 25 year old race skis that have a 70 waist width;) I hit so many rocks early season that I really should wait to bring out my wide skis until the first of the year..
Ayeee moved away from Montec! I can be a fan now! Thank you for supporting brands that support the sport and community. The new kits look good. Didn’t know armada made outwear.
Does what he wears determine whether you can be a fan? Bro, how about the incredible content and genuine stoke spreading? Nah, just care what brands he wears…. Seems a little superficial, but hey what do I know!
@@ccpmarch1980when you realize how Montec is a vulture of the ski and snowboard community you will understand. It’s the only brand in either sport that doesn’t support athletes.
Safe to say you and Armada is a match made in heaven lol
haha i do love armada!
most underated youtuber
nah man i am appropriately rated !
"duh-Kind" without the d at the end ;)
Ha thank you my brother.
Armada should be totally sponsoring you!
ha! they sponsor pro skiers, not aspiring youtubers ;)
@@LucasCatania17 yep- most brands have a distinct brand image they want to project and Armada is more pro and Canadien oriented from what I've seen.
