thank you squad so much for 20,000 subscribers! i still remember when i made the thank you 1k video. this time last year we were at 4500 subscribers and building this community has been the best part of the entire journey!
this was such a sick day for our 4th opening day! don't forget to check out Johnathan's channel for even more awesome snow content!
czcams.com/users/JohnathanBuckhouse
You and Buckhouse are my go to for snow content
They were even hating on you on Teton gravity forums in the Colorado weather thread. Remember this if you don’t have haters you aren’t relevant.
@@douglasslifkin4924 ah yeah it is what it is haha
Well deserved my G 🤙🏻
woo hoo!! 20,000!! You’re so awesome!! Everywhere you go, people know you & are cheering you on!!! Let’s Goooo!!! 👍🥰
Dude absolutely loved ripping and that edit was so fire! Thanks for making me look good brother. Cannot wait to ride again.
Hell Yeah!!!
yes dude so sick finally meeting you and getting to shred a lap!!
No way😂
I wanted a collab and I got one, both awesome on the mountain
Shut up kook
Such a fun day! I hope you like the BluRay movie when you watch it.
thank you tom!! great meeting you!
This is honestly one of my favorite Chanel’s rn
appreciate that dude!
The cinematic shots of Jonathan with the music and the "follow cam" of you gave me such a good vibe. Loved it!
That was my favorite part too!
Love the follow cam and even the effort of the driving away/driving up cams you set up when entering or leaving an area
Dude so sick you got to meet Johnathan! So happy to see you at 20k, I remember when you were at 3.5k and everyone was so stoked when you went up by like 200😂
thanks nico! definitely been an awesome ride. appreciate the support bro!
The two channels I watch the most collide at Loveland. Super cool.
awesome - thank you rick!
Awesome to see someone who knows how to film properly (Johnathan Buckhouse) film you flying down the mountain allowing you to concentrate on your skiing rather than your cameras and filming. Epic footage! I would easily say this was the best flick you made on this trip to Colorado. Great to see the guest appearance by Johnathan Buckhouse and his crew. Loveland is awesome too, I have been their half a dozen times last winter. The Chet's Dream lift is so fast it feels like an elevator going up the Empire State building. You should have 500K subs!
thank you man! definitely super cool to get some 3rd person POV in there haha. i want to get back to loveland. i almost fell off the lift at first because of how fast the unload was hahahah
@@LucasCatania17 Double Black Chairlift; EXPERTS ONLY :)
Our King 👑 of opening days.... How exciting
Appreciate that jack!
Awesome seeing you hook up with Jonathan Buckhouse. Two legends! Love the comradery between what are basically competing CZcams content creators. Shows you both are genuine dudes. Congrats on 20k!!
no competition here man! just sharing the stoke and love of being in the mountains!
Nice meeting and chasing you down the slope. Visit again when the basin in filled in properly and explore the snowcat runs off the divide!
aye nice meeting you dude!
Love that outro drone footage up loveland pass! Biked up it in August for Triple Bypass ride. Gorgeous view - better with snow! Congrats on 20k!!!
wow thats a crazy bike ride haha thanks chris!
Those were some sick carving my guy! Keep it up I’m feeling stoked just watching!
thank you homie!!
Definitely need more buckhouse collaborations! Y’all could drop some sick merch together
Loveland is a gem honestly, especially once the cat skiing starts. Probably going to grab myself a 4 pack there, makes it way cheaper
Oh that’s rad! Didn’t know they had cat skiing!
Yeah it’s super cool, also free, just need to get a pass at the office. Nice collab with Jonathan too and congrats on the well deserved 20k!
So cool to see your style of filming on buckhouse and his follow cam looks on you.
i know pretty rad! stokin
don’t know where I’ve been my whole life without you. this quality is inane
been waiting for you
Great Video!!!
Congrats on the 20K!!! Could not have happened to a nicer person!!! 100% right on goggles. If your "gogs" fog up, everything is miserable. Next are gloves in ranking of importance!
In the PNW we refer to a "dusting" as "trace" of snow...
Fun to see you do a team photo with Johnathan! They did a great job catching you in the camera work.
Enjoy!!!
thanks morgan!! yes gloves are soo important too!! gotta stay warm and dry out there.
Congrats on just be able to chase the pow and go to so many different opening days! You deserve it! Can’t wait to see the channel keep growing!
thanks josh! definitely stoked for whats to come
Love to see you interact with your community so much. It’s just not something everyone does it it’s awesome that you really spend time to make sure you do.
appreciate that man! you guys are the reason this is possible!
Team Huckhouse baby!! That dude grinds. Built this up to support a family and hire a crew - pretty cool. Your well on your way getting your own hustle on here also Lucas. I'm not even a skier and love your vids! Keep it up!
totally man. huge respect for what he has built. it is not easy at all. thanks for watching man!
oh hell yea! I cannot wait for the stoke squad meetup this year! LFG!!
lets gooo dude me neither!
Just discovered your channel and it's been getting me so stoked to ski Brighton and Solitude this year! Thanks for all the work you put into this.
Thanks jordan! Brighton and solitude are sick!
So cool to see you and Jonathan Buckhouse met up (you have two of my favorite channels)! Loveland was also the hill I learned to ski at as a kid! ❤
awesome man! such a sweet hill!
@@LucasCatania17 if you grow up skiing Loveland, you’ll never complain about wind, wind-blown powder, or cold!
You should totally go back to Loveland once The Ridge opens! Would love to see you shred that!
i would love to man! def on my radar!
I come from longboarding downhill mostly when its not ski season and one thing i am always automatically worried about as a habit is speed wobbles 😂 its a huge relief to realize i dont have to worry about them while skiing they are sketchy.😅
haha yup no speed wobbles with skiing. just other hazards haha
Nice that you met Mr. Buckhouse. I’ve been following his channel for years.
yeah super cool guy!
ive been following since 2k i think and i am so happy to see you back at it on the slopes
damn 2k thats awesome! thank you for following along!
So happy you and Jonathan have finally done a collabo!
thanks man! super fun day.
Jonathan Buckhouse!!!
SO HYPED!!!!!
lets gooo
Love when a colab comes together
Haha just spur of the moment too!
Saw Luna with the starlink as I was headed up the pass today! You'll have to come back to Loveland when we are nice and filled in.
yes man definitely want to get back there!
Been watching for two years and still love the content keep it up man!
heres to two more years!
@Lucas Catania heck yeah!
Love to see your channel growing! Mad respect for the daily videos people don't realize how much work it takes to make a decent video, especially about skiing, so you're absolutely killing it with that. Keep it up!!
I appreciate that Blaine! Doing what I can!
lucas man you are a super genuine dude. no need to thank us, we should thank you. Its nice seeing someone live the life i want to live. and from the looks of it, you deserve it boss. Your appreciation and respect for skiing is what makes this channel my favorite.
i really appreciate it andy. but i couldnt do this without each and every one of you. we are all on this adventure together and i am really grateful that you guys support my work.
So funny how you made Jonathan go extra fast to keep up. I do the same thing with my snowboarder buddies. Also I’ve never seen anyone else release their bindings the same way I do and I’m 58.
haha sick man! keep shreddddding
@@LucasCatania17 Yessir, my son and I are heading to Telluride for the winter and staying in a camper on my acreage. Should be sick. Your dad rages pretty good too.
20k 🥳 so deserved, love your channel
thank you so much!
Nice! As a intermediate boarder I enjoy the witnessing the progression of both Lucas and Johnathan.
It gives me hope! And stoke!
lets goo dude keep shredding
Love this video dude. It's nice to see you skiing from a different angle!!!
thank you man! a bit different haha
Looked like you were flying! Definitely getting better at the switch skiing. One of my goals this year too.
thanks michael!
Love your pov’s but it was definitely cool to see a different angle
Yea man definitely cool seeing 3rd person!
Great to see you ripping with out a camera and thanks for all this early season footage.
Thanks Jim! You got it.
Congrats on 20k can't wait till you reach 100,000. :)
hahah oh man thank you!
Epic as always! Just moved to SLC and found your channel! Loving it!
thats awesome man welcome to SLC!
Alright- that looks good enough for an opening day, one run but some good laps. Used to do almost exact same type of run for night skiing and it was quite enjoyable. Glad to see you back in CO!
yeah not bad with some fresh snow! night skiing would be rad there! thanks alan!
So stoked you just hit 20k, love to see the channel grow. Come mid to late January Loveland is incredible… 100% recommend gettin out there again later in the season!
thank you eric! the terrain looks pretty sick from what I saw - its on the list!
Exactly what Johnathan said!
thank you man!!
Congrats on 20 k!!!!! You completely deserve it for the work you put into your videos!!!
mark i really appreciate that bro!
Dude the legend keeps growing…keeping the stoke alive while we wait for the first dump out here in the Green Mountains 💯
lets goo billy thanks brother
Bro!!! You liked my comment a few vids ago about being at the same park as Buckhouse! Just watched buckhouses new vid and youre in it! So sick seeing yall actually meet up so soon after I commented abiut yall 😂 so sick! Yall keep killing it hope to meet both yall one day!!
so sick man! thank you for the support to both of us my friend!
So stoked on the success of the channel and pumped for the season ahead!
hell yea mitchell! thanks for all the support bro
Keep doing it man. Gives us in the Midwest here something to look forward to in the future. No good trails anywhere here unless you drive 6-700 miles. Been in the Alps before but never boarded in Colorado.
Thanks Alex. Alps sound so sick
11:35 .. the pain in my soul! lol
hahahah
Go back to Loveland in February on a powder day. Lift 9 is one of the best
for sure - its on my radar!
I would miss the Premiere vlog that had Johnathan Buckhouse 🤦🏻😭 you gotta send an email to my peeps and tell them not to book 2-3hr meetings in the morning 🤣
So happy this finally happened and you looked great on the follow-cam! Buckhouse was able to keep up with your 2Fast2Furious skiing!! 🤙🏻
Hahaha I know dude I was wondering where papi was!
I will write a doctors note to be excused for morning premieres
@@LucasCatania17 I was BIG mad you have no idea. Great vlog as usual dude and so proud of you dawgie 🙏🏻
JB!! great crossover and been loving the opening days content. excited for my first turns this weekend
lets goo have fun out there!
Your channel is taking off brotha!!!! so hyped to see it!
thank you brother.
I skied Loveland early 90s. Since then I made a few more trips to the interior and I always look up at the area and want to go back, when entering the Eisenhower or turning off to go over the pass.
Sick opening day - going over 20k!!!! Keep grinding!
thank you bro!
Hell yeah! Headed up Sunday, can’t wait.
awesome man - enjoy!
The follow cam shots of Jonathan and you were so awesome. I’m a sucker for a nice follow cam.
Loveland is the local hill for me and never disappoints. Chets is one of the fastest lifts I’ve rode. Chair 9 and the snowcat are worth a trip back once they are open(January-February). Congratulations on 20k.🎉
i noticed chets was super fast and the unload was quick too haha. rad little place!
Great video! Watching you ski wanted to make me ski!!!
hell yeah phil thats the goal haha!
It was cool watching you ski from Jonathan's camera shot. Flyin!
thanks man!
Been to Loveland a few years ago. Had a great time despite some bad weather. Everybody passing thru the area should give it a try.
Also, I am planning to go skiing in BC and Alberta for a couple of years now. Looking forward to getting a preview and hearing your thought on the resorts up there.
i bet the weather can be pretty gnarly up there. should be up there jan-march and im stoked!
The follow shots of Buckhouse are incredible! You guys should collab more
thanks chris! that would be sick!
Love me some Loveland. ⛷
me too!
Justy got to this video and WOW! I loved seeing you ski!
Thank you Lou!! Definitely a cool angle!
Finally a REAL follow-cam haha, those shots were sick. Keep up all the hard work and congrats on the milestone 💪
Haha I know right. Thanks Peter!
that other angle Johnathan filmed of u rippin was soo sick...
haha i know we dont see 3rd person angles much!
I Love Loveland. I always buy a Loveland 4 pak. I like the fact I can transfer the lift ticket to a friend 2 or 3. Best Deal Ever. Let's See The Evil Empire Do That.
That’s a sick deal!
Awesome stuff Lucas! Been so jealous watching all the openings. Heading to Mammoth this weekend for opening day. Tahoe got almost 2 feet last week with more on the way next week.
lets goo! sounds like a sick time awaits!
Loveland Valley is the best beginner area in Colorado. Completely separate from the main area. Perfect for developing confidence, multiple lifts so no huge increases in steepness or crowd size, until you want to graduate to the big hill. When everything is open, the trees on the north side of the highway are awesome 😎
That’s so cold! I saw there was a whole other area apart from the main spot and that explains it!
Yep- totally agree with this. Took my gf who had only skied once a decade ago there 3 times last season and aside from the really windy day swinging on Chair 6 where it passes just above Chair 2, she had a great time! I honestly feel like that is a free circus ride on a windy day but for people who don't like heights or swaying, creaking, ski lifts... it might not be the best time.
man this channel is blowing up. crazy impressive how much great content there’s been. super cool man 🙌
Really appreciate that Cody.
Hell yeah! I loved the Jonathan Buckhouse collaboration! He got some great clips of you burning down the mountain!
yeah he definitely did dude! so stoked!
couldn't agree more on the goggles comments. if you fog up a lot, 509 sinister ignite snowmobile goggles have heated lenses and are amazing - love mine.
wow heated lenses sound awesome!!
Have you done Loveland Pass ? So cool you riding with Buckhouse. Funny hearing him catch his breath.
i have skied loveland pass when i was younger yes
nice day. looking forward to a powder day video, as I'm sure you are too!
yup they will be here soon enough!
Im ready to head up there🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell yea dude get it
Breckenridge opening day is this week! i’m a breck employee and i’ll be keeping my eye out for you!!hope you make it out
hell yeah i'll be there!
you should visit Schweitzer mountain in north Idaho. i could show you all around.
i might this year on my way back down from alberta!
With how much your skis are chattering I think you would have a lot more fun on groomers with a stiffer hard charging ski that’s more in the all mountain category rather than big mountain. You do you though, sick video 🤟
youre definitely right man! we would be better suited with a stiffer ski for conditions like this. we most ski big mountain though which is why i dont have another pair of skis haha
HELL YEAH!!!
hellll yeha!!
Long ago when Loveland was my home area they would sell pre-season 4-packs for $99. I guess that was a long-long time ago!
wow what a deal haha!
You should make a video with Johnathan Buckhouse. I feel like you two could make a good video
Edit: I didn’t even realize Johnathan was in this video when I commented this
gots to see it through!
LETS GO!!
Yewww
I am a pretty new subscriber of yours and i have to say that i am loving your content and keeps me stoked for the season!✨️...Are u coming back to ski Keystone next weekend? It will be our first day of the season with my husband🎿🎿 Can't wait!!!
thanks valeria! welcome! and i might be there! not exactly sure yet!
Dope collab
Thanks homie!
ps your filming is amazing
Thank you homie!
Yessssss
yewww
Good Stuff Lucas. Let me rent out your place in PC for a ski weekend. Help pay for some of that fuel.
hahah sounds good man
I've had season passes at Loveland the last two years and it was amazing. The only reason I switched to monarch this year was because I just can't do the i-70 traffic anymore. It's just awful. (PS buy a four pack of tickets for like 250 If you don't want to go full season pass. They are transferable and you can use them at any point during the year)
oh wow 4 pack for 250 is a pretty good deal! and i bet the traffic can be pretty crappy
@@LucasCatania17 yessir! And, like you mentioned in the video, if you don't plan on going that many times you could split them with someone else! Love the videos BTW...you and "Coloradocamera" are my favorite ski channels!
love the early season vids man! are you moving into doing youtube full time this year, or do you still have your day job? super stoked for all the content coming up this winter- your videos are so high quality and entertaining! keep it up
Thanks Dane! And yes I am CZcams full time this season so I’m stoked! Left my job back in June!
@@LucasCatania17 love to hear that man! stoked for all the amazing vids coming this winter. hopefully you can check out Crested Butte sometime this season too ;)
99 bucks for little old Loveland !!?? Holy Frig bubba .. ski nation inflation
a bit steep but all good!
been subscribed for a while, enjoy your videos - do you always ride with a backpack, I have the last few years but wishing I didn't always have so much camera gear to carry? I like when you ride switch, fun, I do it but I am not as good a skier as you and only do it around someone who is a true beginner and I never spend too much time doing it or very fast, always bail. thanks for the videos, help me enjoy skiing between trips
thank you! and yes ive skied with a backpack for quite some time now! i need it to carry my bigger camera.
The collab I’ve been waiting for
haha enjoy!
Lucas, you planning on doing much skiing in Utah this season? Any Stoke Squad meet up planned for Utah?
I will be doing some for sure yes!
And the meet up is March 11-12 at park city!
Buckhouse W.
Such a nice dude.
3rd winter following you both, cool to see the hook up.
Dude. 100k easily by mid season
ahh appreciate the optimism but i think 30k might be more realistic haha
Dude.. 119 for opening day 😳 hit me up next year.... or any weekend this season. Got you bro.
Once lift 8 opens, come ride with us dude.
$100 bucks for early season at low-key Loveland?! ...outrageous
Yeah steep haha
