uploaded this from sunny St. Petersburg! Apologies if there’s some hiccups in the video - didn’t have my usual setup or my assets to keep everything consistent but I think it’s the content of the video that matters! Enjoy crew! 🤘🏽
Clear pure VT maple syrup???? 🤔 I get a gallon of Bennington “Pure” VT maple syrup on the regular (dark/amber) - let me know if you want some… it’ll be on the house! There are some perks with being a licensed VT and NY pharmacist (Doctor of Pharmacy) 🤘
Tf are you doing in Florida
@@baha96 I’m racing man!!
It was rad to ski with you, Lucas. Your footage captures the day perfectly.
thanks mark! awesome to shred for the day!
Adding Cat Skiing to my list for next season. Definitely a great and much more affordable backcountry option of shredding vs heli-skiing 🤙🏻 sick video as always, Lucas!
thanks so much brother! definitely recommend cat skiing to go that step above resort skiing dude.
Great Video As Always! Sick Drone Shots!
Thanks bro!
Awesome so cool
Thanks Daniel!!
I just came across your channel this past week. I couldn’t believe you only had 13k followers. You have to be close to booming. Nobody has excellent content like you. Keep going. 🤙
I really appreciate that Andrew 🙏🏽
Sick video as always - beautiful scenery- the slow mo shots behind the guide with the pow kicking up were a cool touch. Hope florida is going well - keep crushing it!
thanks so much lucas!! the slow mo shots were my favorite!
You Run the Best Ski RUclips channel ....
Editing and Ski locations.....💯%
Dude u are the most underrated ski channel on here. Love your edits.
I really appreciate that man 🙏🏽
Great video Lucas, I am the guy that had his son on that trip. Nice having someone in the CAT putting this together. They are predicting 4ft of snow this week for the Molas/Red Mountain area. You might have been 2 weeks early! If it dumps, we are going again.
great riding with you man!! snow wasnt the best but it was still a solid day!
as always breakfast looks narly
Well needed on a day like today!
Have you skied Silverton Mountain Ski Area? Probably the best place in the US for the type of skiing you do (seeking big mountain terrain but dont tour). Because they have a much more robust avalanche mitigation program (vs the cat operation), you get to ski full-on terrain and I would argue with the snow conditions you had, that probably beats what you skied at the cat operation. They have a 1970s chair and a heli and you can do individual heli drops. Late season (mid-Mar - mid-Apr) is unguided and the pass for that month of skiing (5 days a week) costs half of the 1-day of cat skiing. Something to consider if you like the San Juans.
I have not skied there before but have heard amazing things! I will some day!
Simply BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing all that you do! Stoked! 🤘⛷❄️
thanks so much breaux!!
@@LucasCatania17 Don’t know how I missed this 🍔🤦🏻♂️ 🤣 See you soon! Watkins Glen 🚗💨
Grew up in Durango. Used to help "guide" with the old owners of SPC, mainly set the lines and sweep the rear for a free day of skiing. Great terrain and always amazing weather, one of the hidden gems of sw Colorado. Haven't skied that terrain in years since the old owners sold the company but sure have some great memories. Glad you got to experience a little slice of Colorado Heaven, video was fun to watch
Thank you so much Jesse. Sounds like you had an incredible experience with your time at SPC. Cool operation and beautiful mountain range!!
So. Darn. Cool! I had no idea this was a thing and it seems like a great way to enjoy some fresh tracks. Thanks for letting us follow along for the incredible journey :)
Thanks for watching!
The drone shots were so cool! Looks straight out of a movie🤩
hahah yes dude they were my favorite!!
What an amazing place. I can't wait to get up there again. Thanks for the adventure and good luck with racing brother! Epic Big Mac!
thanks so much brother. i love your support.
each and each video just gets better.
thanks so much dude!
Another great one! Thanks for such amazing videos Lucas.
thanks for watching julie!!
Hey Lucas,
Your videos have really inspired me to start skiing and taking it serious as a sport more than just a hobby. I started this season early January and this past weekend on a trip with some experienced friends I hit my first double black and EX dbl. I feel like watching your videos def gave me an advantage and even a little bit of confidence when it came to dropping in on the big stuff.
Love the content.
jacob that makes me so happy to hear man. im stoked youre stepping up your skiing game but always remember to have fun, too. EX dbl blacks are no joke so you should be proud that you were able to shred that. keep it up and maybe one day ill see you on the hill.
@@LucasCatania17 I hunt down every purple Montec suit to check for those 112’s and to give a shout out if it’s you! No luck so far 😅
Thanks for taking us along! Loved the cat POV shots.
those were my favorite too man!
Dude the drone shots while you’re driving are amazing !!! I can’t get over how good they look
thanks so much brother! i love the drone shots too!
Lucas, how do you do the drone shots of you driving? It is so cool to see!!!
Sick video as always dude. The followcam mixed in was cool. Stoked!
Thanks so much brother!!
Beautiful scenery! Thanks for taking us along lucas!
thanks so much barbara!!
Big props on another quality vid! You definitely have a great cinematic talent!
I hear ya on the drive home anxiety, those long drives after a couple hard days of skiing are tough!!! Safe travels!
Thanks Shawn! Really appreciate all your support. The drive home anxiety definitely sucks but I guess it’s just all apart of the journey!
Another great one Lucas! Season 3 has been awesome.
season 3 has been amazing!!
Love the aerial shots
thank you jim!!
Very good camera angles, beautiful sunset skiing ⛷ goooooood! 👍
thanks so much!!
Thanks for grinding so we can all enjoy these videos man. It’s obviously been said before in these comments but your footage is incredible. Skiing shots are great but the intro shots, drone footage, etc is unreal. Can’t believe you capture all this on your own!
dude brian thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment like this. i really appreciate you watching brother.
Great drone shots Lucas!! The cat cam is money.
thanks man!!
More great content Lucas, Silverton looked good and beautiful scenery!
thanks neil! it was an awesome weekend!
Damn you are a lucky soul! Another great vid. Living vicariously. Part of the Squad. Crew (whatever). Good looking pancakes. And, a man of your word -- at Micky D's. Who doesn't like a 1/4 Pounder? Cheers Lucas! Thank you for all inspiration! Love you bruh!
hahahaha thank you ron. i appreciate the support my friend. and of course - had to do the micky D trip at the end!
Love Colorado but I think the San Juan Mountains are my favorite region. So cool you got to Snow Cat in the back country. Great vid!
thanks tony! that mountain range was certainly breathtaking!
Your videos keep on getting better and better
Thank you mark 🤘🏽
Bro I feel you with driving. I’m always driving out to friends every weekend and I get that Sunday anxiety to get back home for work Monday lol love the sound track for this vid!
for real dude! part of the program i guess, but always a bit stressful haha
Sick shots! Another fantastic skiing video! I'd love to see a video of you trying out snowboarding?
thank you! maybe some day hahaha
When the Cat ski crew are scoping your drops for you.....
So sick!! What a cool and beautiful area
yes man so rad out there!
Very cool video. Love the San Juans
thanks michael!
Another awesome video. Enjoy FL!
thank you tim!!
Great video and can only echo what others are saying your videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work buddy.
thanks so much man!
Absolutely sick session!!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤙🏽
yes bro just a solid day in the mountains!
Hair is flowing this time! Great vid as always
Thanks hawkin!
Yo are you hitting Grand Targhee next sunday by chance?? I'll be there and it'll be my first time skiing out west. Will be sure to rip the trail where you took that nasty fall last year
Yo I will not be man! Enjoy it though dude and watch out for the toilet bowl haha
Loving season 3. Your drone shots are sick. Seems like a great experience although I'm going to personally hold out for better conditions before dropping $550. Thanks for taking us along
thanks al! i dont blame you for holding out. i would do the same if i had more time to cat ski there. thank you for watching either way!
Cheaper then Park City Powder Cats, they want $800/day.
The Big Mac😂😂
had to for kyle!
These videos are incredible!
Thanks Andrew!
Inspired me to go skiing for the 1st time last weekend and the weekend grind makes me want to do the same!
dude thats incredible. so stoked you got into skiing!!
Love your videos! ⛷
Thanks Cherl!!
Loved it!
Thanks Greg!
another killer clip mate. Keep it up. props!
Thank you Kenton!!
Ugh… I can watch you eat a Big Mac everyday. Much love always and another great video.
hahaha bro did that just for you man. thank you for your support.
Big Macs taste damn good....if they're fresh....but that's few and far between! Ha!
Love the videos man! You should do a stoke counter on bottom of video and count how many times you say stoke throughout the video 😂 would be dope
hahahah sick idea dude! maybe i will!!
Love u and ur videos skiing god
Yup when you coming to shread CB
Probably in 2 weeks!
I enjoy the travel logistic part of your presentation as much as the skiing, and the breakfasts. Having just done the Colorado to Utah trip myself I feel for you, but doing it AFTER a full day of skiing is truly nasty. Top tip: Price, UT has crazy good gas prices, not sure about diesel. I found it worth the stop, even if I didn’t need gas.
Thank you! Stoked you enjoy the whole process rather than simply just the skiing! Definitely a tough drive to make after skiing but maybe I should bleed it over into Monday morning if needed. Thank you for the price tip!!
@@LucasCatania17 you have to hit the business loop and go into town for the best gas prices in Price. Walmart may have the lowest price.
Found you about 3 month ago and i love the vibe of your videos! Super chill an relaxing but still stoked for skiing. Love it!
Only thing i noticed are the cuts between the music and you talking. Sometimes it's hard understanding the first words of you talking.
Keep up the good work!
thanks so much florian!! and thanks so much for the feedback, sometimes i rush the cut in the beginning so i will make it better going forward. thank you!
11:20 the shot from on top of the snowcat 😮
LOL…u r right about the maple syrup. Canadian dark (or extra dark) maple syrup is only way to go 😬
Hahaha I’m trying to do better!
I really recommend going to telluride again the snow is just horrible this year
yes definitely will be going back there!
Almost at 15k 🤙🤙🤙
yea almost!!
sick video man!! them pancakes super beefy
thanks dude!
wish i could ski as much as you...... love the content
thanks man!!
very sick and great quality video as always
Thank you!!
The San Juans are “Wolf Creek Resort” and they should get 20-30 inches in the next few days. You need to check it out.
i heard they will be getting dumped on! so sick!
Yo I had a insane pow weekend at hood 2 feet overnight it was insane! Half my height at some spots in the trees! It was insane
Dude that’s insane!!
RESPECT ✊🏻‼️
Real Maple 🍁 Syrup!!!!!!
Okay it’s still a deal that I’ll hand deliver one if you visit Whistler!
And I’ve got to say I really think I saw a little extra something in your skiing after that particular breakfast!!!!!
🤟😎🤟
haha thanks dude! holding you to that hand delivery when im in whistler!
@@LucasCatania17 definitely I’m a man of my word
Come to Oregon plz bro spring skiing at bachelor is sick!
yes maybe this summer!
Awesome video
Thank you!
You drove the Million Dollar Highway in that rig? I did the same in a Escalade with my wife and then three-year old daughter. Wife wasn't having anything to do with it. Had to turn around not far after Ouray.
Love your content. Wish your timing coincided with the GREAT snow we have now. I've subscribed and will follow you now that I've discovered you.
For sure we ripped all the way to Silverton haha!
And thanks dude! Sounds like that area got hammered recently!
Way to step up your syrup game Lucas 😋
hahah thanks steve!
cool video lucas! When you have the GoPro on the end of your pole like you usually do, does it always feel heavy and challenging to hold while you're skiing? I have a pole mount for my camera but worried it might be super heavy and challenging to film with...
Thanks Liam! And yea the gopro definitely gets pretty heavy and can get you off balance while skiing. It might be challenging at first, but just do it a little at a time and keep practicing with it!
BIG MAC
yes brother!!
What kind of go pro/ camera do you like to use Lucas. Your footage looks dope and I’m looking for recommendations.
Thanks jake! I use a GoPro max for my head cam and a GoPro hero 10 for the other GoPro shots!
What is the average amount of time you are riding in the Cat in between runs?
about 10 minutes in between runs!
So sick. Wanna try cat skiing or heli skiing someday
definitely recommend it man! cool way to switch it up from the resort skiing!
You should head to snow basin in season that’s my home mountain
Maybe!!
Hopefully you also went to the mountain and took advantage of their $99 heli-drops!!!
Make French toast for breakfast btw
good idea!!
Anyone else wondering how the hell he gets the drone shots while he is driving? What kind of sorcery is this haha!
Hahaha I’m a good multitasker!
When are we going to see you get a Backcountry setup! Earn those turns
Haha probably never man. I like getting a lot of laps in!
What skis would you recommend for all mountain skiing
nordica enforcers!
wolf creek
Silverton Powdercats was the worst run operation I’ve ever experienced. On top of that they were extremely unprofessional. I tell anyone that asks to stay away. Glad you had a better experience
ah bummer to hear that you had a bad experience! i had a great time!
I switched to fake maple syrup and my spine started hurting.
yO!
yo!
Lucas. What was in your backpack?
I had my camera, 2 lenses, GoPro accessories and a 35mm film camera!
@Lucas Catania thanks for your vids. So excellent. You put so much of yourself and your trips into them. Very enriching and inspiring for an 8 to 5 east coaster.
how did you get the shot at 13:15?
clamped a gopro to the side of the cat!
have a zinger box next time
whats that?
@@LucasCatania17 zinger box is from kfc, you may not have it in america i think it may be an australian meal Zinger burger, three Wicked Wings, a regular chips, a of potato and gravy and a soft drink.
Beans
rice
Yo Lucas do night skiing
maybe brother!
