    Just started following you. My wife and I skied out of Mammoth for 26 years and now live in Idaho. You first runs on Sunshine Glades between 22 and 25 bring back memories of some of the best powder runs of my life. This is an epic season. Your videos remind me of 2016-2017. So glad you are enjoying the mountain.

    The IDK run I believe is upper dry creek, usually has a lot of moguls and is real fun on a powder day

    • @LucasCatania17

      ah gotcha thank you!

    • @patrickchase5614
      @patrickchase5614 Před rokem

      It's Dry Creek (not upper, not lower).
      Upper Dry Creek is the crease that begins that canyon, starting below Top of the World. To get to it you take Upper Gondola, start on the skier's right of Climax, and the traverse under the rocks as soon as you can. It ends at the cat track where Lucas started his run.
      Lower Dry creek is the continuation of the gully below the bottom of Chair 5.

  • @trevdorand
    @trevdorand Před rokem +1

    That's the bounce back video you were looking for. Holy shit man, that looked insane. Plus you solved the issue of not being able to make a video to your liking with another person. All you needed was someone who shreds and works for go pro. Simple. What a day after what will forever be known in stoke lore as " the disaster in Deer Valley ". That dragons tail at 330 golden hour light was gorgeous. Nice work 👏. Abe fucking rips

  • @patrickchase5614
    @patrickchase5614 Před rokem

    Awesome video!
    What you label "Shaft" is in the Sunshine Glades, close to Grizzly. Shaft is much closer to the lift line than where you were.
    What you label is "Viva" is actually the gladed ridge between Avy 1 and Viva, though you exited on the Avy 1 side. Avy 1 proper is the "straight shot all the way down" that you saw and went to the skiers right of.
    The IDK run is Dry Creek. Upper Dry Creek (which another commented mentioned) is the crease dropping from Top of the World down to the cat track you started on, while Lower Dry Creek is the continuation of that canyon below the base of 5. You were in Dry Creek proper.
    Your footage from Dragon's Tail is stoke-inspiring. I've spent so many powder days working my way out along that ridge (from Head to Back to Wazoo's to the Tail glades) as other stuff tracks out, and it always delivers.
    Wrt your walk at the beginning, trom the top of Chair 2 you can hike around the back of the snowmaking pond next to McCoy, and from there hit Coyote to the bottom of 5 (right where you exited the "IDK" run later in the video). If 5 is closed you can then take a short hike up and over the ridge to get to Chair 4. That would probably be easier overall than the hike you took.

    One of your better episodes. It's interesting to see how much is added when you have a 3rd party who can match your skiing and camera skills. It really is a 1+1=3 equation. I love watching your 1st person POV video but sometimes I'm thinking "I wonder what that guy looks like from the chair lift"? As in, is he just an athletic dude hacking his way down the mountain or is he the real deal? I'm sure it was a great day skiing but you were obviously just as stoked to be sharing it with another person who understands all the crap you have to endure to get 8 minutes of excellent content. Well done.
