snowbird is my all time favorite resort! the terrain there is truly like no other and im so stoked that we were able to rip some pretty serious chutes this day!
dont forget to join the stoke squad discord server here: discord.gg/matZxN7kTq and make sure you come by the livestream tomorrow at 615MST!!
my home resort
That resort had some of the gnarliest chutes and terrain that ive ever seen! Definitely getting added to my visit list along with Grand Targhee and Aspen.
I was just there at snowbird and Alta. I agree 100% I have skied IDK 40+ resorts you cannot beat little cottonwood canyon. Just amazing
I love how your warmup runs are never like a blue, it's straight to double backs.
just trying to keep it exciting :D
not a good thing tho, some day it could not workout well for him :(
warmups are overated full send
@@LucasCatania17 bro you ripped right up to the top and sent it. Loved that. My bro did the same thing, I was staring at rocks and then I heard him sauce in sss sss sss
I am proud of you for not ducking the ropes. That humble and positive act gets my respect!
for sure!
Wdtm just curious
@@theeverythingkid6817 going under the ropes. Skipping the long ski around.
Watching this in the summer; so stoked for next season. Thanks for making such great and immersive content, Lucas! Loved that drop into Shot 15.
I am fortunate to have been able to ski Alta Snowbird frequently since 1989. When skiers start talking about challenging terrain I always think about the Cirque at Snowbird. Just skiing the traverse to get to the runs is more challenging than so many so called double black Diamond runs inside some resorts. This is legitimate no fall zone terrain on the Cirque. You did a excellent job 👍👍🙏🙏⛷⛷
GREAT SCOTT FIRST RUN! 😎😎 Loved the video and I will have to say even when Snowbird doesn't get snow for weeks you can still find some great skiing.
thats so true! theres always snow to be found!
It's apparent the confidence that shows skiing at what you may consider your home resort. I've noticed this in myself. Love the videos because they are relatable to the average skier who skis resorts rather than the typical backcountry adventure style videos.
thats amazing todd. thats why i love sharing our passion together. just average skiers who spend our time in bounds.
Man, thanks for bringing back the memories of my youth. We used to race the Tram down. Sometimes we'd won. Most times we'd lose. Ask the time we'd have a blast. Loved the area of STH. Great video!
awesome man - sounds like you had some incredible times back then. snowbird is one of a kind.
fantastic skiing Lucas, nice way to start the day, what a way to feel alive!
thanks dude! it was one of those days ill always remember!
Wow what a surprise!. I just got back from snowbird yesterday after missing many years. So beautiful. I’ll always call this my “home ski mountain “ Been going since 85 , however the last 10 years , i couldn’t make it. So to come back after a long hiatus and see the upgrades and high speed everything , new tram, etc., while staying the “same” ,it was amazing. I love this mountain in so many ways. I even lived in Aspen for 2 years( loved 3 of the 4 mountains ) but Snowbird has that special place for me that has me calling it home.
You guys did a great job and Snowbird justice. Great drops in Great Scott and Shot 15 … and the video so crystal clear.
Fun seeing your day in the life at Snowbird.
thank you for watching!!
Love the Vids! just want to point out that the effort you put into all the B-Role you take really makes a difference in your videos and great job! Cant wait for the Deer Valley video!
Vaughn thank you so much. So stoked you also enjoy the broll. That’s my favorite part!
Rock on. I just saw this video this year. I live just below Little Cottonwood Canyon and Alta/Snowbird are my favorite. Thanks for posting!
Great Scott has been pretty interesting the last few weeks. Yes, Baldy was firing! Super wind buffed and ripping. Those people should have their tickets pulled. Typically the rope is up after ski patrol goes through to do a sweep. Violating like that will make Ski Patrol keep terrain closed.
Love your channel dude!
great scott was definitely tricky but man what a run! and im bummed i didnt get up to baldy but my mistake for waiting until the last minute! i figured ski patrol had already went through there so i was a bit confused as to why they so nonchalantly ducked the rope. i appreciate all mountain ops so i think collectively we have a duty to respect them and oblige even if we think otherwise. thanks for watching, drew!
Oh my gosh Lucas you are bringing back so many memories right now I lived in Sandy for three years and it is truly the greatest snow on earth even when there’s like hardly any snow lol but man dude I’m thinking you’re a little nuts with those rocks I would be terrified lol hope you had a great time Snowbird is my absolute favorite in the world be blessed my friend take care
its such an incredible place!
great vid lucas, i love seein you ski with new people too. much love my man
thanks brother. i really appreciate your support and encouragement.
Good decision at the end of the day. You may not be found if something happened. And recording yourself ducking is like stone cold proof of your trespass. Lov watching your vid. Great skiing.
B-b-b-bird is the word! Praying we get more snow man, looked like a sick day regardless. You gotta love how each canyon and unique and awesome
haha yes bird is the word man! made the best of the day with the snow we had! utah is amazing man.
Best video yet!! Your "warm up" first run would be my worst nightmare...lol! I love how fearless you are :)
haha thanks gail! it helps when youve been doing it for 20 years :D
Bro. These editing and camera skills are unmatched. 🔥
Sick Vid and great skiing as always, gotta say snowbird is such an amazing mountain cant wait to get back out there one day!!!
thanks julian! its one of the best mountains out there!
Your video production skills are unmatched when it comes to skiing!
man thanks so much hawkin!
Great job with the video. It's so beautiful up there, especisome of those last few clips. This reminds me of when I went to Snowbird a few years ago for the first time. First time skiing out west( I'm from the northeast) and it was amazing, unfortunately I didn't get those views because of clouds but it was so much fun. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Logan. Snowbird is beautiful in all conditions. I’m stoked you got to experience little cottonwood canyon!
My 3rd favorite video of the season! Gets me hyped every time.
Love that you don’t see anyone else while he is skiing till like 10:00 in👍🏻 your awesome man!
hah yeah i typically ride solo for the most part!
Great video as always. Those chutes looked crazy. I’ve skied Great Scott a few times, but don’t remember it ever looking so sketchy! Looking forward to you doing a Baldy segment. Haven’t been up there yet.
thanks man! great scott was really nice once you got into it, just a bit scratchy at the top right now haha
So excited to see how this trip goes👍👍
Hey Lucas more awesome content and great to see you getting the views that you deserve: 17k in only 2 days!!
Heading out from the UK in late Feb for a week in Utah and then a week in Jackson Hole inspired by your videos. If I see you on the slopes I owe you a beer!!
thanks neil! stoked you like the videos!! sounds like an incredible trip!
Sick video!! Those chutes were so sick great job on them!!
thanks so much bro!!
The hype when you came out of chute 15!!!! Lets goooooo the energy was contagious.
lets goo dude! i was so stoked brother
Fantastic skiing day! Love Snowbird myself, hit it last March, will again next month. Got a laugh out of me with "I don't even know what that means"!
hhaha awesome dude! snowbird is incredible and stoked youre gonna be here next month!
First time you see that back bowl area at Snowbird is breathtaking.
I can tell you were itching to get back to some of that big mountain steep skiing. Absolutely sick video. Those slots are intense
haha yes dude i definitely was itching for something steep after the SV weekend!!
Get stoked every time Lucas uploads❤️
lets go dude!!
Missed you by one day! Did snowbird on 1/28 and Canyons 1/29. First time at Snowbird, might be my favorite resort ever. Amazing place. Loved the video.
thanks tommy! yes snowbird is as good as it gets for surre!!
this is my favorite run ever so happy ur doing it.
Those drop ins look insane. I'll be sticking to single backs at snowbird I think lol
That looked like such a fun day of skiing. Nice job on the chutes! I have to make sure to eat snack/lunch when skiing bec on few occasions I literally just fell over on a green trail for no reason when I skipped lunch. Thanks for the stoke…it’s getting me hyped for my ski trip in few days and kinda makes me want to go huck stuff too 🤪
ah yes gotta take care of yourself on the mountain haha! i probably would have fell over too if i tried to do that hike at the end! and where are you going for your trip?
@@LucasCatania17 Taos for a wk (stopping to ski/check out Wolf Creek) then Telluride for the following wk. Come ski both of these places! Known for steep terrain w lots of hike to terrain, at least Taos (and prob Telluride…1st time!) is lot like AltaSnowbird. Excited to explore some more new terrain at both places!
That drop-in to shot 15.... wow! I was just as hyped as you were. LFG
lets gooo thanks dude!
another great video! start of season 3 has been great!
thanks will! stoked youre enjoying the season so far!
Stoked we were able to connect and do a lap together man! Such a great day!
Looking forward to future laps together on the mountain!
hell yeah dude! thanks for showing me around the bookends! awesome lap!
thanks for posting. Headed to Park City on Saturday for a few days, cant wait!
thanks for watching! im stoked for you! enjoy!!
My first trip out west is this weekend! Skiing Keystone Friday, Sat, and Sunday.
Great Vid brother.
wow man so stoked for you. enjoy it all! breckenridge is nearby too!
So awesome! Stoked you went back to Snowbird. Since seeing your other vids I'm sold on needing to come check it out myself from Michigan. My gf doesn't ski or snowboard, so I'm tempted to roll out there solo for a few days trip to rip! :D
aw hell yeah dude definitely rip a solo trip for a weekend! you wont regret it!
Agreed about the rope thing ,ski patrol work hard enough as is.nice one dude !!
thanks philippe! glad we are on the same page about the rope haha
Great job brother! Getting me stoked to board out west!!
lets go dude! where are you gonna board?
It’s a good night when a Lucas Catania notification pops up. Thanks for 25 mins of stoke to help end the day!
Awesome man! Thanks for watching Brian!
Lucas, just got back yesterday from Snowbird. Skied yesterday while they were getting 5 ft. Was “religious “ the ski conditions Incredible snow
Stoked you had a good time!!
Woww beautiful day! Always makes my day when you upload!
it was spectacular! thank you for watching ella!!
breakfast and ski game always on point!
yes brother!!
In my Lucas voice "That was stoked!" Great video Lucas!!!
haha barbara thank you!!
Love the bird, rip tram club. Good stuff as usual Lucas
thanks matt! the tram is the best haha
Great video! Dude I’m from Florida, 53 and love skiing but my knees aren’t what the used to be but get to park city twice a year.
I can’t even believe that they allow people to ski like that! I fricken scared just watching!!!
Really amazing skiing, I can’t believe the runs you ski!!
Peace
Haha thanks Brian! Stoked you get out west each year from Florida. Keep it up!
Great video and props for skiing all day! LOL have not done that in a long time.
Hahah thanks dude!!
Dude those chute’s were gnarly! I imagine the camera didn’t even do it justice, and you made it look easy!
ah thanks man! definitely much steeper and quicker than the camera made it seem haha
Great Vid as always! I went to bachelor last weekend and it was a blue bird ice day 😂
Ah bummer man but at least you got out on the sticks!
The Cirque shots looked sick!
thanks blake!!
Ahh gee. You park your Van where I used to live, most enjoyable years. (600+") 😍
Real bummer to run into a rope where you don't expect it. If you know the mountain well you can predict it pretty well but not so easy for a visitor. Good call to respect the signage, it is in the long run to your benefit.
thanks man!
Great videos Snowbird my favorite of all time
its the goat
Shot 15 was truly terrifying. I was like I can do anything your doing till I saw that jump and speed. Must have been doing 0-50 in 3 seconds
Best videos so far buddy. Cheers
Thanks rob!!
I've done great Scott a few time and I have never seen the appeal of it. I like to go down Cirque around the bend and ski the area above Wilber, or big Emmas. Looks like you did that as well :)
These drop in’s are wild
The broll is unmatched, one of my favorite parts for sure
mine too!
Just skied Alta & Snowbird today n will be skiing snowbird again on Saturday. Deer valley n solitude for next 2 days.
Safety is the priority man. Idk if some ppl demanding that you should drop from those cliffs. But yeah, definitely take good care of yourself.
Will continually following n supporting your channel!
The beauty of the Salt Lake City just can’t be described by words!
thanks wesley! stoked youre having a good few days of skiing man!
you have now made my dream living in a van and skiing out west.
P.S. from an east coast skier
thanks brother.
The Canadian rocky resorts are the ones getting lucky with snow this year my man 😎
haha yes seems like they are having a good year!
I believe chute 16 was what locals call the elevator shaft. I did it for the first time this season as well!! Chute 15 looks gnarly tho I’ll have to check it out!! Nice video man
Ah sick! I think chute 15 is called death chute
16 ~Elevator Shaft. 42 years of skiing at the bird.
Looks like an amazing day of skiing dude!
It was brother. One of the best days yet!
Snowbird seems like quite the place. Hope to see some tricks in the upcoming videos. More 360's!!!
thanks dylan! snowbird is next level!!
From a Truck camper dweller u might try running shock cord around edges of rig placed a few inches out so you can dry things. Works great and a few cloths pins if your gonna drive with it up.
ah thats a great idea! thanks michael!
glad this was on my recommended !
thanks for watching!
Hi Lucas. I'm CONVINCED that you had such a gnarly full day of skiing due to your adventurous gourmet breakfast! 🍳 That omelet dashed with asparagus?!?! Yummers! Bet that Breakfast of Champions got you SO beautifully through Shots 15 and 16! Impressive skiing! Now, if NEXT TIME, you add a few dashes of Truffle Flakes to the omelet, I'm convinced you'll be hiking that Bald Mt Ridge and skiing that bowl with endless energy! (Just kidding! 😆) But I DO think that your decision to NOT duck that rope and overextend your long ski day was a very wise decision! AND it's a great lesson to those who enjoy & pay attention to your videos.) As always, I'm looking forward to your next adventure. 🚟
thanks so much alice! the breakfast is definitely a super important part of a strong ski day! hopefully next time we will be able to do the baldy hike!
Dude I've seen your car at the bird before. You shredded up the cirque. Cool to see people having fun
thanks man! hope you had fun too.
Those fisheye head cams make these impossibly steep runs look like greens…I know it’s much much more intense in person. I was sweating when you were edging your way up to the top of Great Scott…phew!
hahah yes the camera never does it justice! but those who have been there know how steep it is!
Ive never had the confidence to hit shot 15! thats such a gnarly drop in and you STOMPED it!
ah i think it looks scarier than it actually is! its just commitment!
@@LucasCatania17 #FullSend
Never been a Rat’s Nest guy, always preferred the Jaws entrance into Great Scott. Props lol!
haha rats nest is cool too but nothing beats doing it from the top!
this makes me hype, i got to snowbird and a week!!🤘🤘
lets go! thats gonna be so amazing! perfect timing!
Impressive skiing Lucas - I was taken to that shot 15 drop and told it was "death chute", have yet to come away with both skis in my two goes haha. A lot of speed on that right turn. Excited for more LCC content.
thanks joseph! thats awesome that you have tried it though! 3rd time is a charm!
man your videos are so good you’re going to blow up soon
thank you very much man
Good choice at snowbird, i live 15 min away! such an amazing place
Best resort out there!!
great vid as always
Thank you brother!!
That shot 15 your line was amazing
Haha thanks bro!
Love the vertical!
Thanks mother!!
Snowbird is my favorite resort too! Has a very special place in my heart as I really found myself on that mountain and made serious strides in my snowboarding. One of the best mountain resorts in the U.S. and I'm dying to go back
thanks incredible dude. i love when mountains have more meaning and impact than just their runs. im stoked for you man. we gotta link up when you come back.
@@LucasCatania17 yeah man! I would absolutely love that. It'd be so sick if we linked up at Snowbird
The Bird has been my home mountain since March of 2000. I've even been working the lower Gad parking lot for seven years.
Your best skiing yet!
thanks man!!
Hey, I really enjoyed this video--especially those wide view shots up the lift! How do you get those angles (e.g. the wide view under the chair lift)?
thanks bryan! thats with a 360 camera on a long selfie stick held underneath my skis!
you're insane bro that was absolutely bananas 🤯
Hahah thanks Chris. Stoked it worked out!
I need that Great Scott run in my life so bad right now lol
haha yes dude! one of the best runs out there!
Very cool. What Armadas are you skiing and what length are they? (Sorry if you answered this but there are a lot of comments)
Oh lmao I work at Alta and snowboard snowbird. Hell yeah!!
Hell yea!!
Never been to Snowbird before, looks like I need to come check it out!
best resort out there in my opinion!
Hey Lucas started watching the channel last week and I really like the adventures. I did not hear you talk about Vail... What do you think of the mountain? Keep up the creativity!
thanks richard! this video was about snowbird so thats why there was no mention of vail. i think its a cool mountain though!
Shot 15&16 Look beyond Insane!
They’re prettt gnarly!
Hey bud, good skiing! please be careful when talking at places like 10:30, hard snow zones with a lot of small bumps.. you can bite your tongue and do some serious damage. Thanks for the vlogs!
Hitting drops and stuff is always the best when skiing
its definitely a fun time!
some pretty gnarly drops in this vid that was sweet
thanks mike!!
You really need to make the trip to Whistler…WONDERLAND!
Hopefully next season!
Gnarly ass runs, well done!
thanks john! stoked on this day!
Great video! Nice lines! Just got back from Steamboat and while the mogul runs were great and oddly the easier double blacks, the flat groomers were slick (not good for kids trying to learn to ski). Easier to ski a black diamond mogul run than a blue groomer. How were the groomers there?
thats awesome man! i dont think i really skiied too many groomers to be honest but everything was good for the most part!
You're insane at skiing and it's entertaining, but stay safe man, that shit looks dangerous af
I appreciate that bro
