I’m planning on getting an ikon pass next year and was wondering what resorts in either Colorado or Utah you would recommend Also I’ll be there during late December to January so keep that in mind
Lucas, Looks like epic skiing. I lived in Aspen For almost 50 years. Skied almost every day. 50 years do the math. Unfortunately I have stage 5 kidney disease and now I’m in Grand Junction doing dialysis 3 days a week. However being able to watch videos like yours keeps me in touch with the sport. I am a Altaholic. Keep the Petex side down. Thanks for the vids.
it's crazy to me that solitude can open so much earlier but alta only opens a couple weeks later with basically everything open off those lifts while solitude still has only 1 run
Yeah! I would rather wait a little longer for coverage rather than just open a groomer off the bottom but I think there needs to be quite a bit more snowpack in LCC to open safely
Good ol lake effect snow. I had a season pass to Alta one winter when we lived down there. Did alot of poking around and finding the not so hidden gems. No bad days😅.
Nice! Brings back memories of the days of my youth. Alta, Snowbird and surrounds were always the most reliable for early season snow coverage, and how about that powder? Simply the best! Back in 1987, me and my ski buddy Bruce, packed up my new 1987 Nissan Pathfinder with gear, supplies and anticipatory excitement and embarked on an epic 30-day road trip to Salt Lake City, Sun Valley, Jackson Hole, Lake Tahoe and Mammoth. Keep up the good work!!
and that is why little cottonwood canyon is better than most ranges in the US. I keep telling my brothers and friends to stop always going to Park City, and go hit up Alta, Snowbird, and Brighton. Some of the best skiing in the US, IMO. Also, I think this is first video i have seen where you actually filmed you falling. Ha
There's the terrain! Awesome opening day at Alta, thanks for sharing man! The stoke is soaring in this video, hippin and hoppin on the Stoke Elks is back! Let's goooo
getting out there in february (east coaster) and following the snowfall totals there and next door at the bird religiously has officially started today
good stuff, good vibes, thanks for the vid! Alta's my home mountain, just hard to get up there anymore with the traffic and being a bit further away. May see you around if you hit up Sundance opening day, will certainly be a different story over there, but can't complain! keep rippin.
Awesome powder day. Great to see the stoke elks get to fly. They match your yellow armada ski outfit very well. Thanks for letting us meet you family over Thanksgiving. 👍👍👍
Little cottonwood I think creates its own weather....all I know is the week I went in Jan 2008 was fabulous....going to try and get a week maybe two this winter.....all depends on how my mom is doing....92 she is. Great video ....another two three storms the rocks will be buried!
Well Stoke Squad, I live in central Canada, the land of snow, igloos and polar bears!! My neighbour cut his lawn today!!! You have somehow tilted reality.
I have never been to any of the cotton woods but boy oh boy do they look good! Great video keep it up! Also you should definitely go to crystal again this year that would be a sick video!
So damn jealous to see you shredding. Still not a lick of snow here in Tahoe… hopefully some in the near future! I need to start getting some days under my belt
Great video, Lucas! Great skiing! Conditions looked good, a promising start to the season. Just received my Stoke Squad helmet decal. 👍 I’m an Alta season pass holder. I’ll be there mid-January till last day. Hope you make it back to Alta. See you on the slopes! Peace out. ⛷️😃
Awesome day Lucas! I may be in the minority here… I don’t want to see you get hurt… better to be safe because we love watching your videos daily 😊 I have had two micro fractures (one in each knee) it’s not fun rehabbing while the 🌍 is skiing. Please practice patience… you’ll give those great pow runs we love to watch. Remember it only takes one unseen object to ruin your ski season. The pow will come… the stoke will be most high 😊⛷
for sure! i appreciate that. its that delicate balance of longevity vs keeping it entertaining for people to watch. youtube is a double edge sword in a lot of ways!
You should really ski at alta more often, its such a good resort but you almost never go there, i got so excited when i saw this video because its my favorite resort.
Speaking off going up the Little Cottonwood Canyon; what's your take on the gondola from the bottom to replace the road? Or be a alternative. Great video!
Bro you getting me hype for my opening weekend here in the midwest. We got our first "pow day" today and im super hype for next weekend. Keep killin it bro
Love the sound of that fresh UT pow go past the camera. It’s so light! Great video LC, as always. BTW, my wife and I really enjoyed chatting with you the other evening at Cole Sports. How did the heaters work for you?
thanks ben! nice to meet you and your wife and put a face to the name! heaters were awesome. subtle and minimally invasive, but kept my feet nice and warm!
I’m looking into moving out west and working at a ski resort in Utah any recommendations to make my ski bum dream come true, also looking into pimping out a van like you did
That looks super good, I was also thinking about using one of my days early just to get some real snow, Im thinking ill hit it next week after the next dump.
That looked like amazing snow for just after thanksgiving. I’m doing a trip with my dad to Utah the weekend of the meet up in march. 2 days at PC and 1 day each at Alta and Snowbird. Hopefully little cottonwood gets some good snow that weekend 🤞
