2024 OPENING WEEKEND skiing at BRECKENRIDGE!

[@LucasCatania17]

Feels like just yesterday we were pulling into the lot for A Basin opening day - crazy that our Colorado trip is coming to a close! Episode 100 is always such a special milestone for me. A sign of consistency, discipline and focus on a single task at hand. Thank you for making this possible!

[@justinbayola]

what a great early season showcase of Colorado resorts. Thanks as always brother, for a beautiful video full of stoke and shower scenes ;)

[@LucasCatania17]

my pleasure bro!

[@xploration1437]

4 O’ clock to sawmill is my absolute favorite run anywhere.

[@sahinolut6806]

I live around Tahoe region and just getting even more stoked for season's start thanks to videos. Thanks for sharing your love and passion for skiing with us.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you for watching! cant wait to come to tahoe

[@grandillusion52]

Awesome day! Episode 100 man what a season! and the stoke is just getting started!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yessir stoked for the snow to start falling!

[@kevin27177]

Awesome seeing you at Breck yesterday Lucas! Btw my 3 and 5 year old kids both love watching your videos, watching you ski is a huge part of why they love it so much and get so stoked to go up to the mountains. My 3 year old asks me if you have a new video almost everyday 😂 THANK YOU!

[@LucasCatania17]

I love to hear that. Thanks for sharing the stoke with them. I am keeping the channel family friendly 🙌🏽

[@kevin27177]

Absolutely love that part about your channel

[@JeffreyInnmon]

It would be awesome to see you make a trip to Breckenridge and Vail when the High Alpine and Back Bowls are available.

[@EZmanmid]

just skied killington for the first day of my season out east! have SLC booked in february again, thanks for providing all the stoke leading up to then!

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice brother! Stoked to hear that 🙌🏽

[@BreauxSegreto]

Looks like you’re properly ready for some POW … Won’t be long ❄️🌨️❄️ Enjoy bro! Peace out ✌️

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro 🙏🏽

[@blockheadyt1072]

I love watching your videos before bed to unwind. Looking forward to this season! 🎿

[@LucasCatania17]

Awesome to hear that 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@rockstarr9000]

“Lots of homies” always the understatement of the year at Breck

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha!!

[@Armen35]

Going again in Feb. I can't wait to get up there. This will be my 4th year in a row going to Breck and Vail. So excited

[@chrishartwig]

Hats off to you man! I'll be happy to get 12 days on snow this whole season. Keep up the great videos! Thanks for the time you put in making these. There's not much else to get me jazzed up for the ski season.

[@LucasCatania17]

I appreciate that man. Thanks for taking the time to watch the videos.

[@reginay7729]

Channeling some Candide jumping over those moguls and straight lining them lol and what you said of Breck opening day/condition/crowd just about sums up Breck, even when everything is open and conditions are perfect. But the day looked like a nice bluebird day and the new goggle combo is 🔥 Breck main street would’ve been a perfect place for Tara to roam around and shop/eat/drink coffee for the day so I hope you dropped her off to do that while u skied

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha well said Regina! And yes I did actually! Dropped her off at the top of Main Street and she had herself a day!

[@timtimlikespizza]

Love Breck ❤ my grandpa works at the rec center, that place is so great!

[@MrSpartanPaul]

Rec center is where we shower and use the hot tub, since we usually sleep in the car. Awesome place for ski bums.

[@LucasCatania17]

Awesome! The rec center is so nice!

[@huntermaxwell5842]

Going here in April, thanks for the insight! 👍

[@nathanwimsatt9438]

So I ski breck every year, and the fact that you hit 46mph on springmeyer and 4 Oclock is pretty darn good. Your skis must be like 184s :)

[@LucasCatania17]

I was taking it easy. Coulda went a lot faster. They are 188cm and 106mm width - not all about the skis tho!

[@alexklaver1]

You have already skied more days than I will get to all season, you're living the life man!

[@LucasCatania17]

I am definitely very blessed to be able to do this

[@davidhudson7400]

Been here since 8k subs - bought a montec jacket because of you. Your consistency reminds me of casey neistat when he went from 1m to 12m in one year so i’m sure you’ll reap the rewards soon!

[@LucasCatania17]

Stoked to hear you picked up a montec jacket! Thanks for being here from the beginning. Casey was on a whole other level but we are pushing for 70k this year!

[@nariferarri1594]

Your vids are getting me pumped up for ski season. Out here in the midwest all of our resorts are closed for another couple of weeks / month(s). If you ever stop by Wisco/Illinois, feel free to let me know so we can hit the lifts together

[@LucasCatania17]

Glad they are getting you stoked homie!!

[@cherlgolja5402]

Rocks always win ⛷️😉

[@LucasCatania17]

Hahah !!

[@DeployableMango]

Resorts over here in Maine are opening this week, gonna get some early laps in soon over here on the East Coast! Keep shredding, Lucas

[@LucasCatania17]

Love to hear that man!!

[@littlepony6762]

Does it feel good when people recognize you . Awesome 👊🏽

[@LucasCatania17]

It’s definitely very humbling!

[@mr2fyre]

It just keeps getting better. I am starting to get excited.

[@LucasCatania17]

Love to hear that my friend

[@willwright688]

You should go back to Breck in January or February, such a great mountain when everything is open. Another great video, cannot wait to get my first day in here on the East coast!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes! Definitely want to come back during the season 🙌🏽

[@ADHski]

100th episode! Keep up the grind brother! Love watching these vlogs man

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro. Road to 130!

[@ikimiki12]

Looks great! Hyped for European ski resorts to open! See ya tomorrow!

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice man enjoy!!

[@maggiemaree9500]

worked at breck last season and this video made me miss breck so much!! I’m working at kirkwood this season and I’m stoked to be in Tahoe this winter but damn these opening day videos are making me miss the colorado resorts 😢

[@LucasCatania17]

awesome - congrats on the kirkwood gig~

[@connormack4373]

Fun trip, come swing through CB/Telluride this season.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yah would love to get back to telluride again and check out crested butte !

[@neverforgettr2276]

Everyone seems to have survived. Good on you. That appeared a bit sketchy. Sure is pretty out there in Colorado.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes it is. Lots of stoke out there!

You never dissapoint me with rour videos the best videos

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

I Just made my skiing chanel plss subscribe @@LucasCatania17

[@michae8jackson378]

Hopefully there will be a ton of snow soon. Breck is my favorite village to stay in in CO. Keystone is still my fave because night skiing. Lucas have you ever considered road tripping to Japan. The Pow there is supposed to be outrageous. I lived in Europe, Germany, 13 years. Alps are so cool, glaciers in summer, etc. But never Japan. But video I've seen is crazy!

[@LucasCatania17]

I would love to check out Japan some day. Very small chance we go this year!

[@rockstarr9000]

Classic first day run bro

[@deachen6023]

It's grand all over in CO. Have you seen Whistler? 30 yrs ago it was amazing. ✌

[@LucasCatania17]

Whistler is great!

[@brand13007]

Your videos got me skiing again 👍 love the content!

[@LucasCatania17]

Glad to hear that!

[@stangl_danglz1656]

GG!! Appreciate the hard work, Lucas… Pays off!

[@LucasCatania17]

Appreciate u bro!

[@waltciii3]

Cool that you're hitting the opening days. But for me way too crowded and too few alternate runs to escape from the homies. But thanks for the early kindle of the stoke!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yah for sure - just part of the ski season!

[@aubreywhitley6889]

Watch out for the racers tomorrow at Copper. They ski fast even on the open runs. Of course you're pretty quick also. 😉

[@LucasCatania17]

haha there were a bunch at loveland today too!

[@danbsmith]

100 episodes! So much respect for the grind...

[@LucasCatania17]

Appreciate that Dan!

[@jacksultan8146]

Wow you're just pulling out all the stops wish I could be there right with you keep shredding bro enjoying every video

[@LucasCatania17]

Trying to man!

[@313_christian]

Man i love your videos makes me jealous that my family moved to texas. Boy do i miss skiing

[@LucasCatania17]

Should make a trip out west this year!

[@bobfdowd]

Great stuff, as always. How's the "fame" hitting you this season? We've noticed an increase. Out of all the many places I have skied, Breckenridge I am least impressed with. Every, unless you really seek them, run... the same pitch, width and length. Lift lines. $$$$. Really hope you hit Loveland. Now there is a true, non commercial, ski area (not resort 😂). -Bob-

[@LucasCatania17]

The “fame” is nothing but humbling and inspires me to continue doing what I’m doing. I ended up hitting Loveland on Sunday!

[@zacharyrobinson5056]

Awesome video!! Planning a trip there in January…. Would anybody be able to say if midweek is less crowded then weekends? Appreciate any help!

[@nayr369]

You ought to come out to Japan this season for some of the japow. Hit up Rusutsu (or Niseko if you don’t mind crowds) in Hokkaido. Some of the best powder and tree skiing, way better than anything in Utah 🌨️🌨️

[@LucasCatania17]

Can’t really afford it at the moment but would love to if an opportunity came up. Heard it’s not very steep though !

[@nayr369]

Yeah plane tickets aren’t exactly cheap, just gotta use those credit card points. Most of the terrain is mellow (some steep stuff here and there), but the real appeal (for a place like Rusutsu) is being able to ski anywhere off-piste making new lines every time with freshies and ending at a lift

[@zachtilley4918]

🤟🏼 nice work Lucas! Maybe I’ll see you out at Loveland today.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yessir I was there!

[@ActionXander]

What a sick start to the season

[@LucasCatania17]

Agreed!

[@MrSpartanPaul]

Awesome selfie stick footage!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you!

[@Snakeypenguindragon]

Hopefully ski resorts have the whole mountain open soon

[@LucasCatania17]

gonna need some more snow!

[@Snakeypenguindragon]

@LucasCatania17 Let's hope for lots of snow for ski resorts and in the valley

[@Djrantz]

Can we see you somewhere like the alps this year would be a couple good vids i definitely love to see!

[@LucasCatania17]

Too expensive for me at the moment but would be down if an opportunity came up!

[@henryhebron5319]

Random question but im curious how you go about ski passes? Do you just buy day by day for each resort? Or what do you do ? Thanks bro

I have an epic and ikon pass which gets you access to several resorts in the world!

So are you going really fast, or is that an effect of using action cams? Gonna go boarding for the first time since 2013, and your videos are making the wait really really hard lol

[@LucasCatania17]

Nah there’s no special effect. I put my stats with my speed at the end of the video.

Dude you were hauling (radio edit) on four o clock

Are you going to hit up Wolf Creek at all this season?

Happy 1111 and 100.. They raised the rate of that parking lot from $10 to $17 unless Vans pay more?

[@darinsmith2458]

How did you get a chair by yourself?

[@darinsmith2458]

I renamed BRECK to Breaking Wind;)

[@LucasCatania17]

Not sure! Maybe it was just a weekend rate?

[@darinsmith2458]

There are a ton of people on those runs.. From 10am on any day.. I gave er when I had space and hit the brakes when I was around the masses..

[@darinsmith2458]

I don't like that they have all the lines in the same place for those 3 chairs on the bottom.. I thought I was going to have to wait in line just to leave;) I think the middle chair should have the line in the middle.. The right chair should have the line on the right and the left chair should have the line on the left..

It’s crazy that already this is episode 100!! If you’re switching season 5 at the start of 2024, will this be your longest season?? Since you’re uploading like a beast?!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes absolutely! Never had a season more than 100 episodes and I’d assume we are probably on track for about 30-40 more episodes before the end of the year!

[@rickxu8831]

Your scenery shots are beautiful and at a professional level, which those big commercial companies spend tens of thousands dollars and a crew to make. And what they make is a little staged and far away from a realistic normal skier experience. That’s why I like your videos.
