2024 OPENING DAY at WINTER PARK!!

[@LucasCatania17]

super rad to notch anotther opening day under our belt! big thanks to the crews at WP for their hard work! heading east to eldora today!

[@jacksultan8146]

The little hill that rocks...... Great for a quick getaway when you're in Boulder Love the main run on Eldora...top to bottom no stopping oh yeah... Enjoy

[@Snakeypenguindragon]

@LucasCatania17 remember when I asked you for tips for intermediate skiers

[@shanerieke]

Can’t say it enough! Your grind is real and your stoke brings all our stoke to the top! Thank you for bringing us such joy with your videos!!🔥🔥 YEEEEEWWW

[@LucasCatania17]

I appreciate you brother! Doing my best 🙏🏽

[@douglasslifkin4924]

Nice you’re including Tara more, I remember her from when you stayed at Deer Valley last season.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah that’s her

[@michaelcworsley]

I just got to say, the stationary shot while you’re riding a lift, the one that has no commentary, where it’s just being on the way, gets me so excited to ski, that’s an awesome shot to include.

[@LucasCatania17]

I thought so too! I love the sounds of the chairlift and people skiing so I like grabbing those

[@annepapa5290]

how do you film in front of you/?

[@Flexlpexl]

man, the quality and the effort you put into those videos is crazy, stoked for the season start in the alps

[@LucasCatania17]

Really appreciate that.

[@TheYearWas1984]

This is hands down of your best openings for a video. Congrats! Can't wait to see when you hit Mammoth Lakes again! Cheers Lucas!!!!

[@11122qbc]

Same was just thinking this

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks man! I’m pumped for mammoth!!

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

Interesting choice in opening day run. I've been monitoring the other resorts and none of the ones that opened already have opened any additional runs. I think Keystone's opening still appears to be one of the better ones although snowboarders are liking Eldora because the park is open. Either way, it is nice to see more resorts open even if the skiing is limited. Next weekend is going to be crazy.

[@link4784]

Eldora was pretty sick yesterday. Basically no lines and snow was pretty decent. Weather looking rough for most of the next few weeks though

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah it was fun either way! I went to eldora today and it was pretty impressive but I do think keystone still has the upper hand in terms of snow quality and amount of terrain.

[@jalaska007]

Loved the shots of the van and storytelling at the start of the video. Stoked to see these resorts getting open!

[@LucasCatania17]

Appreciate that!

[@Skibum2023]

Lucas and Luna ..on the road again. Just love the opening photos and filming! You’re becoming a master story teller and we’re all on this beautiful journey. Thank you for bringing us all along for the ride!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you for being there gabe!

[@shawneggers4484]

The cinematic touch with music you encompass is sooooo good!!

[@sobejkof]

The sunrise and heading to winter park shots were beautiful

[@KingSolrac]

really chill vibe in this, great to see the season starting off again!

[@josephcatania2681]

Love the view from your "office"...Watching your opening day vids is the closest thing to being there with you. (music choreography is spot on)....meanwhile, back to dry land training for the rest of us.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks joe!

[@moonrider7246]

The opening of this video was Amazinggg

[@LucasCatania17]

Glad you like it!

[@AlanLamb11]

oh, thanks for checking out winter park- I was counting on the higher run to be open, looks like A-basin or Keystone are the better choices early season. Might be a good place to practice skiing backwards, I was doing a lot of ice skating backwards at the end of last season and a little skiing but the skiing feels so awkward.

[@lv42daze]

rock skis ftw. thanks for the upload!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks for watching!

[@danbsmith]

Really cool vibe in this video! The music was perfect. Great seeing more of Tara! You guys have fun and stay safe out there!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Dan! Glad you liked it!

[@thegravityenthusiast]

Definitely saw you out there! Mellow was the vibe. Still a great time 🤙

[@RyandeMilliano]

We’ll, I’m amped for the season now. Now back to watching for low pressure systems and morning webcam viewing with a coffee in hand! Cheers bud, great video.

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha nice man! Thanks for watching.

[@jakefrost7108]

Man I want a van like that. Live goals 🤣

[@landoneilar5967]

Glad to see you made it out to Winter Park for opening day!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah it was fun!

[@vhalmrast]

I think you are camping on the famous Rollins Pass RR route. Prior to the Moffat Tunnel, this was the line trains took to the coal fields out in Craig, CO (Steamboat).

[@LucasCatania17]

Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing man

[@rayrayjj]

Awesome scenery...very mellow. That's how this weekend felt here too. Glad to see you got company with you man...that warms my heart. ☺ Safe travels to Eldora which is ironically only 10 miles away if you were a bird. 😅 See you on the livestream.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks ray! Appreciate the love. See you on Wednesday!

[@hokkaidoshred]

Loved the opening shots!🔥

[@LucasCatania17]

Glad you liked them!

[@jameslynch2372]

Thanks again for another opening day video. The image stabilization on the camera is amazing. We can see your legs hitting the ruts, but the video is still very smooth from the selfie stick looking back at you. 👍

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes! The MAX stabilization is one of the best out there

[@OneBeerLeft]

just moved out west for the season, love your videos dude!

[@gerakore8948]

my cousin says they are opening an old ski resort in colorado by pueblo/gunnison --> cuchara mountain. although i dont think its covered by any of the passes

[@LucasCatania17]

Oh that’s awesome!

[@jonnyhansen7286]

Idk how u don’t have more subscribers. You constantly put up rly high quality vids and some awesome skiing!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks! KZbin is a tricky game. Don’t really have the personality for it compared to other vloggers but I’m having fun.

[@rayrayjj]

it's only a matter of time.

[@dylanhammonds5270]

lucas in the grinddddd

[@LucasCatania17]

[@thomas_neves21]

Fire music 🔥😆

[@LucasCatania17]

Glad you liked it!

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice man! Hope you had fun

[@christianDipietrantonio]

Nice video! I parked at the same spot for Trestle Bike Park Season! Such a rad view !

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice man!

[@adventurercarlo115]

I'm liking the new aramada suits! Cool to see u change your style of skiing every year!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Carlo! I’m diggin them so far

[@justinbayola]

butter 3 for the boys!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha yessir

[@aubreywhitley6889]

Looking forward to your Eldora video later today. I'm planning on hitting it up on Monday.

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice! It was pretty good!

[@rockstarr9000]

My home mountain! Love this

[@LucasCatania17]

Awesome mountain!

[@zachtilley4918]

Offer stands mid winter on a pow day 😝 The opening shots this video were top notch.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Zach. Definitely need to return for some proper skiing

[@aubreywhitley6889]

You need feature Tara skiing for a little variety.

[@steveharris6916]

Nice kit bro 💁‍♂️

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks steve!

[@Johnstonfour]

You should do a Midwest trip this year

[@unamusedbryson]

YOOO! What lens do you use on your regular camera for the vlogging shots?

[@LucasCatania17]

Yo! I use a 24-70f2.8

[@unamusedbryson]

@@LucasCatania17 sweet. Appreciate that dawg

[@cdub1807]

Powder Magazine wrote an article about you at Keystone. "KZbinr Documents All The Antics Of Keystone, Colorado's Opening Day"

[@LucasCatania17]

Yah that’s cool!

[@owen_som]

Our king

[@LucasCatania17]

Nah man!

[@C.oleCarson]

Locals at winter park call that part the goob tube 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha love it

[@connormack4373]

WP opening day cracks me up

[@LucasCatania17]

Yahhh

[@COcoix14]

Ya looks a bit lame. Not gonna lie I’ll probably wait a few weeks for them to open more runs

[@AviationGod222_YT]

Sick bro!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks dude

[@rockstarr9000]

When are you coming this year??

[@ohheyychristian]

IT BEGINS! 100K this season LFG!

[@LucasCatania17]

Ha! Let’s aim for 70k

[@boyanmikov1589]

I get so stoked watching how in the USA you have snow and opened resorts here the season starts in late november or early december

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@sleepy.philly]

dang how did i miss u!!! i was there 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

Danggg dude

[@reginay7729]

Woohoo to more opening day vlogs for this season and somehow it already feels more epic than last season??

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Regina! You think so? Feels kinda opposite for me

[@sketchyAnalogies]

Arizona Snowbowl (Flagstaff) will open with a long black/blue run on opening day.

[@LucasCatania17]

That’s awesome!

[@RatthewMice]

The train horn😭😂

[@LucasCatania17]

Hahaha funny you noticed that

[@choisam20]

yes!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah!!

[@POW862]

Recommend UVEX Goggs....self adjusting lenses....German engineering at the best!!!

[@ccpmarch1980]

Amazing camping spot, beautiful! I like the suit combo too, similar to mine, my pants are tan though. Anyway, hope you’re having a blast at Eldora right now. Yeww 🤙

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro. We matching now 😎

[@garagonich3243]

You should try some sl skis you would be very impressed on how they grip an rip

[@jaymontgomery3330]

Yep.. like 88's

[@LucasCatania17]

I’m sure they’re awesome!

[@JJ-mk8mg]

Sweet vid man. Was the shot at 9:48 on the hero 12 with HDR on? Just upgraded from a 7

[@LucasCatania17]

Hero 12, but just in standard mode!

[@ferrarirace]

Bro I’m so jealous you are skiing already

[@LucasCatania17]

Don’t be jealous man

[@Barkzzz]

Love your videos Lucas, only feedback is can we get a different royalty free song? Please😂

[@LucasCatania17]

No sorry. It’s very difficult picking music that everyone is going to like. Much less find music for new videos every single day.

[@paulmignini]

Arggghh Lucas!!! How you got that tight form so early in the season?!?! Flipping switch, butters and locked knees! Takes me weeks to get form back once my season starts. So jelly brah! 😂😂😂

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha it’s come back sooner than I expected but still feeling like Bambi out there

[@sebastiendashiell]

Is that snowboard Jesus at 9:12?

[@reybrooks7339]

I ski greens and a liitle blue runs and maybe terrain park. do you have any good recommendations of skis? im also 6 ft

[@LucasCatania17]

Atomic Bentchetler 90!

[@LifeOfCole]

You're warming up real nice bro. How's the body feeling so far?

[@LucasCatania17]

So far so good! Pulled a hip flexor a little bit but other than that I’m good 🙌🏽

[@darinsmith2458]

I forgot that Winter Park opened.. I have never been there but I want to

[@darinsmith2458]

Have you ever tried the lenses that turn colors depending on how much light there is?

[@darinsmith2458]

I think there is supposed to be a mountain storm tomorrow night (Sunday).. I don't like driving in the mountains during storms.. I figured I would give you a heads up..

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Darin! I checked the forecast on OpenSnow. Maybe looks like wed/thurs for snow??

[@darinsmith2458]

@@LucasCatania17 Sure thing Lucas.. BRECK is supposed to open friday so snow works for me;)

[@res_ipsa-REX]

Eldora looks like they have better terrain open than Winter Park had.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah they do!

[@jacobbell1503]

Nice but you burned that sausage 👍😆

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha I know ope

[@Alex_B1239]

Duuuude!!! Sick vid but you gotta stop teasing me, I got 2 more months before I can ski😭😭😭😭

[@LucasCatania17]

Hahaha my bad man 🙏🏽

[@ADHski]

Still sharing the stoke even on mellow runs is what its all about, just being out there on the mountain! Fire edit man! ⛷

[@LucasCatania17]

Yessir stoke is unconditional!

[@TradeFav444]

Hey lucas , random question but how is your retention at the start of the videos when your doing your intro , most youtubers adovocate for getting right into the action / right into the thing the people clicked on the video to watch . Just wondering if there are expections

[@LucasCatania17]

I dunno. To me, the video is empty without the other stuff. Telling a story is more important to me than retention rate.

[@rayrayjj]

In my opinion that is precisely what draws people in.

[@miketorre16]

⛷Lovin it brother, wish the videos were longer.. 👌

[@LucasCatania17]

Ahh unpopular opinion I bet hah

[@miketorre16]

@LucasCatania17 nah, The content is good. Ur getting me into the ski season here in CT. Vermont in December 🤙

[@ja-kaz]

Narrower and stiffer is the story of my life.

[@jacooo06]

its not fair😂

[@link4784]

How tf is 106 your narrowest ski?!

[@LucasCatania17]

It just is

[@link4784]

no hate just surprised. i have like 50 days on skis so far and my 98s feel massive on groomers some days

[@anthonysears871]

Too bad there is nothing steep at wp!.
