2024 OPENING DAY at KEYSTONE SKI RESORT!

[@LucasCatania17]

what an incredible day out there! mad props to the whole keystone crew for providing such amazing early season skiing! felt so good to get some proper turns in! WP opening day tomorrow! 🙌🏽

[@stevendettor]

How was the hike park looking? Trying to get an idea of the features that are set.

[@jameslynch2372]

Maybe it’s me, but you seem to skiing with your skis closer together and more parallel. Beautiful views. Thanks for sharing. You are living the dream for us. One thing, perhaps you can tell us about what skis you’ve selected for the day and why. Keep up the great work.

[@jameslynch2372]

When are we going to learn more about your lady friend. 😊

[@azerierl3928]

@@jameslynch2372when you ski with your skis parallel it gives you more control and mobility. For example when you stop your skis it will be better if your skis are together meaning a easier more effiecent stop. Another example is when turning when your skis are parallel its like cutting through the snow which makes you turn faster and better.

[@jameslynch2372]

@@azerierl3928 I have been a fan of Lucas and his videos for several years. I guess I should have been more clear about my comment. It was that this season (as opposed to prior years) he is skiing more parallel and with his skis closer together. It was not a discussion about skiing best practices.

[@rayrayjj]

I love this time of the year!!! Everyday I unwind with a new Lucas Catania video!!! Great stuff man

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks ray! appreciate you watching!

[@reidcagle2312]

Have a feeling your hard work is going to pay off this season! Keep grinding!

[@LucasCatania17]

Trying to stay optimistic.

[@Thepreppyiest-to-ever-live]

I am also going to keystone, you made me even more excited to go to keystone, my favorite runs are peru and Montezuma!

[@zachtilley4918]

Thanks the motivation to get out there and go skiing!

[@LucasCatania17]

hahah heck yeah bro

[@kjbathe]

[@michae8jackson378]

Schoolmarm is such a great way to warm up. Gotta stay to the sides, esp when the snow isn't plentiful. But the sides always have good snow to ski. Safe travels

[@LucasCatania17]

seriously! such a good run to get the edges back. snow was great!

[@ActionXander]

Way to rip out at Keystone and another beautiful day too. Love seeing my homie getting the recognition!

[@LucasCatania17]

[@jacksultan8146]

The KEY to opening up a great season Love the videos Lucas keep up the great work We ski die-hards just can't get enough... Have an incredible year

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks jack!

[@chrisedwards9064]

Your videos got me into skiing. About to buy my first set first of skis today. Keep doing what you do. We all appreciate it.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you for that.

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

I feel like Keystone is a more legit opening day. A-Basin's opening run is pretty short in comparison so it feels like a technical win. It's hard to complain about 2 miles of Schoolmarm - and it is a run that mere mortals can ski down. I hope Keystone opens more runs quickly - makes sense to open Spring Dipper since they both go to Montezuma and it splits the traffic so not everyone is on Schoolmarm. Doing a mid-week opening is nice since all the normals (like me) have still have a day job can't come until the weekend. I'm also hoping they open Scout soon - I want to get my wife out there soon.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah I agree! A Basin is just a race to say they open first but keystone definitely has the better skiing.

[@christophersperry]

You’re spoiling us again this year Lucas (and making us jealous)! The shot at 9:40 from behind was awesome.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man!

[@ccpmarch1980]

I groomed that night. So stoked to see shredders on cord!!!!!!!!

[@WillDMercer]

You're getting me too hyped for my own good. Still have another 2 weeks until I have time off work to make the drive out there.

[@LucasCatania17]

should be prime in two weeks man!

[@thealchemist6251]

I groomed the whole run that night while the other 2 Kats were building stuff. So sick to watch, I will till that run until it’s softer than pow.

Salomon boots are ALWAYS several days of pain followed by years of dependable enjoyment.. And I love the Chemex! You should look into the Ottomatic machine that you can set and forget while you do other prep... but how did I miss the introduction of your Luna partner?

[@liamkingsbury7438]

Love coming home from school and watching your vid from the day! Also, the stream was hilarious last night! @Levi Warr beat me to the rizz joke. I thought about it, but wasn’t sure if that was appropriate to say with your girl right there 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

haha the stream was awesome man. thanks for watching buddy

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro!

[@taylorfinn4738]

You look like you're obviously hauling pretty good down the green slope. We're fairly inexpereinced East Coast skiiers. Is it possible to maintain a slower speed with minimal difficulty if you so choose? We have a trip planned but are hestitating based on our skill levels (skiied about 5 times). Plan to do a few pracitce trips on East Coast beforehand just to try to iron some things out...

[@johnverrone]

we need to get you a burr grinder for that coffee my dude. instant level up.

Hey how wide are your skis? They look to be kinda wide, but seem to do just fine on groomers? Thx for the videos Lucas! Getting me pumped up for the season for sure. It’s warm today in the PNW….just lost our base with a toasty rainstorm…unfortunately. Ikon pass will allow me to make it out that way soon tho!

Would love to know what speed you were cruising on Schoolmarm. You look like you had some good pace. Also, I was curious to your skiing style. Are you always thinking about keeping your knees together? When I focus too hard on keep my knees together I feel my tails slip out just a bit. Odd

I don’t really think about it I would say! Just kinda second nature for me when I ski I guess!
