Hey Lucas. Where will you be skiing this week? Family has a mountain collective and will be skiing Snowbasin Alta and the bird. Probably just pick each day based on best weather. Would love to take a lap or two with you.
Thanks you for taking us along on your ski adventures. I enjoy seeing the different resorts in the canyons.....however I think Snowbird is the best because of the amount of snow they receive.
Nice! Looked like lots of fun.Great stoke all around. I just finished 4 excellent days at Lake Louise. It was about 70% open and now they just opened up all of the west bowl. Merry Christmas Lucas!
So I heard a new term.. Chicken Heads.. Those are the little trees that are poking through the snow.. Snakes.. That is when you catch an edge.. For me it is when I am on flats and cat tracks.. Sharks.. Rocks.. If you have anymore please let me know.. Tree skiing is when you ski the trees and treeing is when the trees are skiing you.. Rock skiing is when you are skiing the rocks and rocking is when the rocks are skiing you..
Aww you found some friends.. I have friends to ski with later season.. It looks like that one guy has Salomon QST 106s.. Great skis.. I broke my arm on those skis and I was using the 187 length.. I think the length for me is 180..
I could have went to BRECK today (12-22-2023) but I went on 12-19-2023 and there was a ton of kids on the hill.. Grade school kids have 2 weeks off and college kids have a month off.. I was able to get an hour or so in before the hill was packed.. I will probably try to go once Christmas Week and then try to go Mon or Tue of New Years week to see how packed it gets.. They still don't have the top of the Mountain open so I am limited.. I also went on 12-19-2023 and the rock hard groomers were amazing.. My Enforcer 104 Free were good for those conditions but my Stormrider 88s were the perfect ski for that day.. I used those 88s on 12-22-2023 and the snow was too icy/slushy/sticky for those skis.. Also those skis have a minimum speed limit so when there are a ton of people it gets sketchy..
What a great day out there! Everyone is starting to get into the flow of the season and it was awesome to see you settling in. Awesome day and thanks for bringing us along for the adventure.
Been so busy working . I want to wish you and Your Family a Merry Christmas ! Looks like a great time to hit Whistler Blackcomb, by time you get back we will have more snow here in Utah !
Hey Lucas, I work at a bike and ski shop and was wondering what kind of maintenance you do to your gear. Do you do your own maintenance? How often do you wax your gear and what is your preferred wax?
Your skiing was amazing with Dan and Griffin. I'm impressed you can whip around the ARV 106 in a 188cm in tight steep terrain. I've owned those skis and it's no easy chore, but you make it look easy. Loving the editing and music. Happy holidays Lucas to you and your family!
@@LucasCatania17 if you aint falling you aint trying... i made some insane airacrobatic today landing on my back with gears flying allover the mountain. laughed it off and continued having fun :D
Nice vid! Always enjoy Solitude....really cool terrain all over the place there. Have been a bunch of times with A LOT of snow so it's weird to see it so thin but overall, looks like a good time. Headed to SLC Jan 9th
I would say 80% of the people out here don’t use the bar. Just never really a thing my whole life. If someone wants to put it down, absolutely it will go down but for the most part, you get on the lift and no one says anything about the bar. Wildcat at Alta for example doesn’t even have a safety bar. Nor does chair 2 at snowqualmie.
Parking is free after 1 pm for all vehicles any day of the week. Your parking receipt said 12:58 pm. If that is when you purchased it, bad timing. At least it is most likely deductible to some degree when you file your 2023 return. If you don't have one already, get a business credit credit card with no annual fee for your business expenses. That is an easy to way to keep track of expenses and you can earn some rewards too.
That is not when I purchased it. If you look at the stats at the end, I started recording around 10:37 so I likely parked around 930. I write off all of my expenses, like parking, so it’s not a big deal. And I also have a business cc and separate account for the llc that this is all ran through.
Great edition Lucas! Holy S*!tballs on Aspen! The work you do belongs at the highest caliber places...and that's not flattery. Merry Christmas squad...
That run with the local guys at the end looked sick! Did my first Utah trip last year and Saolitude was my favorite spot. This video has me itching to go back out 😂
Looks fun I’m tempted to try a run to see how bad the knee hurts. Sorry missed Wednesday had PT and a long day. Keep the stoke coming have a great stokemss
I’ve been skiing at Snowmass for that past few days and despite not having too much snow in the past month, there is tons of powder because there are no crowds. Great video btw
Agreed that going down during a lift ride is not great and our least fav for those of us who don’t like heights yet we enjoy it for skiing! What a fun day of skiing at Solitude and looking forward to the collab (?) w Aspen to come. Merry Christmas!
