2024 OPENING DAY at PARK CITY MOUNTAIN!!

[@LucasCatania17]

so stoked that Utah is now open! major props to PC for getting the season started despite low snowfall! heading out to solitude today to check out what's open there!

[@a_justin]

I hit Solitude yesterday and I can't even believe how much more terrain PC had open compared to Solitude. Kudos to the snowmakers and that commitment from the resort!

[@Snakeypenguindragon]

Had you ever climbed the hill to get to the magic carpet but ski to the lift instead the magic carpet on canyons?

[@zachtilley4918]

So strange seeing so much dirt on the sides of the runs. Impressive snowmaking team!

[@LucasCatania17]

I know man hats off to PC!

[@0xCUBE]

@zachtilley4918 gotta get used to it; come over to the ice coast

[@zachtilley4918]

@@0xCUBE nty it’s why I don’t live there anymore. 😂

[@Sir_fallsalot]

Park city is my favorite place to ski, especially the canyon side!

[@Joooooot]

Isn’t it wild how the video tells your mind a story with the van pulling up - it’s like ah yeah he arrived. You dont immediately realize he parked, placed the camera, backed up and pulled in again. Going the extra mile for cinematic effect ❤

[@LucasCatania17]

Wym bro there was just a camera there waiting for me!

[@JJ-mk8mg]

That canyons to PC transition was so smooth. So sick

[@LucasCatania17]

I was pretty stoked on that. Thanks for noticing ;)

[@TazMark]

Was great meeting you Lucas!!! It was a day to remember

[@LucasCatania17]

yes man super nice meeting you!

[@res_ipsa-REX]

What a difference a year makes. We were skiing 18" of fresh powder last year on 11/10/22 at Solitude. Pray to the snow gods...

[@res_ipsa-REX]

PCMR is way better than Moonbeam right now, in my opinion.

[@LucasCatania17]

agree. moonbeam doesnt even hold a candle to the terrain at PC at the moment

[@adamkwiatkowski4107]

Fun & Good to see the essential facilities inside that lodge. Always wondered how nice it was inside. 60 years 🎉

[@LucasCatania17]

yessir red pine lodge!

[@ADHski]

Great memories from the Canyons side this past season! Awesome video, so excited to get back out there, and for now living through your amazing productions!

[@DarkBiCin]

Crazy seeing west coast this late without snow. East coast its been later and later. Had opening days mid nov last year but seems like most are waiting till mid or late dec this year. Hope we got some nice blizzards in the coming months to give us some nice pow days.

[@shanerieke]

The camera shot you did skiing backwards with it behind you OH MY LAWD🔥🔥🔥 such a sick video as always!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha glad you liked it bro!

[@stefangonzo]

Thank you Lucas. The Canyons are my home mountain (can't beat the free parking) I'm praying the El Nino gods are smiling on us this year

[@weirdbeard1980]

Funny that free parking has become a luxury. A lot of the mountains around me have started charging unless you have 4 occupants in your car.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks for watching! glad you enjoyed it my friend.

[@LetsDoSomeWork]

Awesome to hear the stickers are back in stock, keep the merch coming!!! Awesome designs!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro!

[@Migueiii65]

Park City Holds a Especial Place In My Heart. My First Winter Sport Experience as A Snowboarder took Place In Park City. Although I changed to Skiing Later On, Have Great Memories There. The Mountain Can Get Very Congested On Weekends But, Still A Great Place To Be

[@LucasCatania17]

love to hear !

[@gracerieke]

Sick video! Crazy how there's not a lot of snow. It'll come though!

[@LucasCatania17]

yes definitely! snow will be here before we know it!

[@grandillusion52]

Awesome to see PC open even with the lack of snow so far. Glad you made the most of it bro, crossing my fingers the snow gods come through for us soon. I definitely think 13:13 should have been the thumbnail

[@LucasCatania17]

honestly dude it was between that and the one i chose haha - thinking i should have went with the former instead..

[@josephcatania2681]

Any day making turns on snow, is better than an inside office day...Save me some beans for a cup of that Costa Rican java!

[@LucasCatania17]

for sure joe! good to get early season turns in anyways.

[@NathanaelV]

So weird seeing Park City not covered in snow! But the skiing looks really fun.

[@LucasCatania17]

haha i know welcome to early season!

[@RobertHQian]

Met Lucas in line! Super cool guy. Was out with his mom

[@cherlgolja5402]

Yellow ski man⛷️better then the black ski gear , however you still rocked it last season with the ski gear 😢you and I know that the threads are everything ! With our racing background 🏎️ your just to advanced to dress like every other ⛷️ .🎤 Yes I love Tahoe but Utah got the BEST snow ever❄️love your channel ciao !

[@LucasCatania17]

threads arent everything actually haha thats why i changed

[@cherlgolja5402]

Point taken 😜

[@neverforgettr2276]

Thanks Lucas, that was fun. Have a great day skiing at solitude.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! i had fun out there.

[@lollerskater]

the lack of sidehits can be frustrating but besides the gnarly runs I love the long blue runs at PC and canyons for chilling and skiing with people who aren't so good

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah PC has a little bit of everything!

[@rileynewmeyer2763]

hahaha i love the commentating during your ride!

[@scottaiken210]

Never gets old....keep inspiring!

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice to see some Australian conditions on the channel!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha i want my utah conditions back!

[@jberczi6]

Oh da baby

[@thomshumard436]

Aww man, I missed you on the pc side in the morning. Those kids were there all day serving humble pie.

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha for real

[@ToddTaylorTexas]

Hey LC, just know you have become our #1 Favorite on YT! Keep doing what you do my Brother! Stoke Level Mega! 🤘🚀👍🥊

[@adventurercarlo115]

Heck yeah Lucas! Got my 1st day on snow today, uploading my video now!

[@LucasCatania17]

Zipline!

[@alainbrouillaud484]

Lucas… I have never seen so much EARTH in your videos. I am enjoying your fans getting to meet you… very cool.

[@LucasCatania17]

haha i know! snow will be here soon

[@jasonfulleradventures]

Nice transition, Lol like that you were driving with your googles

[@LucasCatania17]

hahah had to leave the whole kit on!

[@littlepony6762]

Good for you make the most of it 👌🏾

[@LucasCatania17]

thats the name of the game!

[@zzzman89ify]

So cool. This time of year in Washington it would be cloudy foggy dark and probably even a little rainy 😂 i want to experience Utah and the Rockies

[@LucasCatania17]

washington is beautiful, but the rockies are where its at for skiing!

[@ianpotvin6641]

I know it will sounds like a Kevin but that’s not an icy run!!! In the East we ski literally on blue ice!! This looks like a pow day for us 😂. But none the less, you got a gorgeous day of skiing while we are still waiting for cold temperatures to produce snow 😢😢. Enjoy!!

[@LucasCatania17]

i didnt say the i word!

[@weirdbeard1980]

Huge crew just posts up right in the middle of the run 🤣 At least they stood in a line I guess lol

[@LucasCatania17]

haha all good !

[@Hudson-M]

Was there so fun and glad to get out snow was not as bad as I would thought it would be and not crowded at all when I went up at 2.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yah man no crowds really!

[@TradeFav444]

14:40 - the blue jacket guy is completely to blame imo . I get snowboarders have a blind spot but if your gonna go to the MIDDLE of the run , you HAVE to look behind you .

[@TradeFav444]

amazing video btw , i loved your energy

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks mark! glad you liked it!

[@AJ_Owens]

Cali has the same issues right now. Its very warm. All the epics were delayed opening day. Sucks but it happens

[@LucasCatania17]

Yah props to PC for not delaying !

[@miketorre16]

Dang, Park City is huge!!! looks like a sick ski resort! 🏔⛷

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah its so big haha!

[@arthurr.2075]

I'm new to your channel, may I ask who are you exactly? A former skier myself, I enjoy your enthusiasm and down to earth reporting etc. and beautiful videos! I haven't skied in almost 24 yrs. , up to that point I had skied for about 30 yrs though. So seeing you ski and your comments bring me back to a time I really enjoyed in my life! I'll be 79 in January and wish I was out there on the slopes! I still walk & hike though! Again thanks and keep the videos coming.

[@LucasCatania17]

welcome to the channel - i'm glad you like it! not sure how to answer that really, but im just a guy who skis and makes youtube videos haha. i was never a professional or anything like that

[@annepapa5290]

im excited to check it out tomorrow!!

[@LucasCatania17]

@@LucasCatania17 looked like a sick opening day.

[@babirb]

When I heard about the Red Pines gondola upgrade, I thought it was for the chairlift that goes from the Red Pines Condos to the Canyons base. Looks like I misunderstood.

[@LucasCatania17]

they just changed all of the gondola cabs!

[@mr2fyre]

Let’s go!

[@LucasCatania17]

yew!

[@dillongroo1641]

Don’t forget to thank a snowmaker

[@LucasCatania17]

amen

[@kadegreen5356]

My first day on mountain last year was Thanksgiving and I hit 9990. AFAIK, this real is projected to be "average" which if so, means that there is going to be a point where we get some massive storms to catch up.

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah i agree! we should see some big ones in december no doubt!

[@POW862]

Wow...thought CO was boney. Hey...finally opened the top of Abasin. Not too bad.

Look out for the Homies 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

always !

I definitely

[@zaphod4245]

Wow there really is no snow. Seems like the opposite of last year where the US had buckets of snow and Europe had nothing, this year Europe is looking much better, but the US is looking bad lol

[@LucasCatania17]

its still extremely early in the year! utah averages about 1200cm of snowfall per year, compared to 350cm/year for a place like zermatt. we will be fine :)

feels good!

its snowing rn!

Lucas, I am supposed to go to Utah around December 13th... U think it will even be worth it? Conditions seem scary right now...

[@ynot0714]

Hey Lucas, making any opening day is better than none! Have you seen or even heard of the new goggles by Rekkie, the look pretty cool. They were on Shark Tank last night!

[@LucasCatania17]

i've never heard of them! ill check them out!

even with one run open, you'll get lost

Hey Lucas! Just wondering if your ARV 106 in this video is a 188cm or 180cm? Loving your videos. Is there a way to donate to your channel without joining? Thx

[@LucasCatania17]

I use the 188cm. And yah you can leave “super thanks” on the videos or stop by the live streams on wednesdays! We also have stickers if you’re a sticker person haha

Great video. Do you think there will be decent snow by Dec. 20th? Planning on going for 20th to 24th.
