[@brwilkinson1977]

That was so good... Looking for shoots on a pow day,... PERFECT🎉🎉🎉

[@The_god_of_reeeeeeeee]

I’m at snowbird right now and it is awesome the powder is great and gad 2 is still the best lift

[@pirate64664]

Where is it?

[@COASTRECOVERY]

Dude I was there mon to wed this week, Alta too. Best skiing ever!

[@BenjaminPoroda]

Dude so awesome, love how you asked that kid to ski with you. The world needs more of that

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man. that was a fun moment.

[@jasonfulleradventures]

Here, we have a rare glimpse of Lucas Catania in his natural habitat. You can hear whoops and squeals of joy as he slashes fresh powder up into his face. Love it man! Keep it up!

[@LucasCatania17]

hahaha yoo this is mad funny! sounds about right though!

[@AageSatake]

Huge respect your way, as always giving upcoming skiers to go with you. A lifetime experience for a 13 year old 👍👋

[@LucasCatania17]

Gotta pay it forward 🙌🏽

[@JamisonElliott-cy3xx]

Super fun skiing with you man. Keep up the amazing work dude.

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice to meet you man! Keep shredding

[@leviwarr4490]

Amazing conditions out there!! Glad you got to take a lap with the homie Oscar! Crazy how long it can take to get out of the cottonwood canyons sometimes😢 but always worthy for the pow❄️❄️!!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks bro! small price to pay for big snow

[@jasonpacific111]

Shred city. Not only are you slicing and dicing so well you're a sick narrator 🎯

[@rayrayjj]

Speechless...Snowbird+you=Holy s$%t...thanks for the dedication. It isn't easy getting on top of a mountain every day for work.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks ray! Doesn’t feel like work on days like this!

[@davidjespersen9455]

Anytime I see Lucas Powder and Snowbird I am tuning in!

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha thank you!

[@liamkingsbury7438]

This video was for sure one of my favorites! It was like one big, hype edit; but also some great story telling of the day. The music was hype man🔥🔥

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! glad you liked it!

[@danbsmith]

What a day. The sequence at 17:05 coming through those trees is one of the sickest shots you've ever put out. Just incredible!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha that was a fun little feature i kept hitting

[@palmetto.]

0:10 haha I get it, snowbird 😊

[@jacksultan8146]

Little cottonwood you better chain up no doubt about it😮

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah!!

[@ADHski]

Whitewalkers and frozen gaiters at the bird you know its going to be an epic video! such sick content from Snowbird this season! ripping!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha thanks man! frozen gaiter is always a sign of a pow day!

[@path1778]

Killer video, especially the face shots later in the day, skiing slop and frozen granular out east but looking forward to the month of March out west. Keep em coming!

[@lorianjames]

super fun movie ! So stoked ! You're a character

[@adamhedrick16]

This has me so excited to visit for the first time in a few weeks. Cannot wait to get off of the ice coast.

[@michae8jackson378]

What a cool pow day. Crazy traffic at the end! Glad you're having some great skiing, makes it worth it!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah! Price to pay to ski some pow hah

[@shawneggers4484]

Unreal!!! Your skiing, the cinematography……. Just the overall stoke, insane! I’ll be out there March 4-6, can only hope to cross paths and shake your hand :). Big props Lucas!

[@MR.TOYBOX]

Just booked my flight yesterday. Bird here I come baby!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice man!

[@oskar.lighthiser]

amazing video lucas! had so much fun skiing with you that day!

[@macawattackgaming]

Had a fantastic powder day at mammoth on Thursday the 4th.

[@LucasCatania17]

stoked to hear that!

[@macawattackgaming]

@@LucasCatania17 was actually the 3rd, but it was still super nice! the top was a lot of fun

[@camaronmorgan5915]

The move on a day like that is to head to the Tram Club for some wings and beer instead of waiting in the snake. Sick riding!

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah that is true!

[@zman7689]

I liked how you wiped the snow off your camera at one point... using more snow.

[@gracerieke]

We got the best powder day up at whitefish! 😍 awesome video!

[@LucasCatania17]

heck yeah!!

[@chazbickel4518]

StokeBird is looking sweet!! Its cool to meet someone and take a lap together. I bet that dude was stoked to ski with you Lucas..... You always look out for others and thats what its all about. Yeeeewww!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Heck yeah Chaz! Some good snow out there. Ready for the big one.

[@chazbickel4518]

@@LucasCatania17 oh yeah... stoke level is high in the PNW.

[@paulweiland1948]

Went to Snowbird for the first time sunday and it was incredible

Snow arrives in Tahoe just in time for me catching the flu! I shall live vicariously through my good man

[@LucasCatania17]

bummer man - hope you feel better!

[@jacksultan8146]

Nothing like tram laps on a powder day with no lines talk about pure luck❤❤❤

[@LucasCatania17]

Can’t beat that!

[@jackmullaney1580]

Went to Alta like 3 weeks ago and it was the first good snow they had in a while on a friday. We sat in the parking lot trying to leave and not moving an inch for 3 hours!! then took us another hour and a half to get back downtown. I dont know what is going on in the canyons this year lol

[@LucasCatania17]

haha sounds about right!

[@dalej6985]

I'll be there Wednesday, let it snow!

[@LucasCatania17]

nice!!

[@tt55k]

Oh yeah!

[@LucasCatania17]

🙌🏽

[@mr2fyre]

What a sick day. We need some of that light fluffy stuff. My longest drive back from Tahoe was 12 hours. All of which was waiting to get through chain control.

[@LucasCatania17]

woww thats insane! cant even be prepared for that really.

[@johnrogers9063]

Loved the chair lift ASMR @ 10:55 lol

[@LucasCatania17]

[@alainbrouillaud484]

Great skiing Lucas… your legs are true shock absorbers! I hope that storm follows you to Aspen. I am looking forward to great descents from Aspen Highlands and “The Cirque” at Snowmass.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks alain! I don’t think the cirque is open up at snowmass but we’ll see what we get into!

[@BionikGD]

Dude I have been here the past 3 days and the pow has been great

[@LucasCatania17]

we love to hear that.

[@nickharpstead8576]

What a sick day! Love how you simply show the emotion of it 🤙

Totally sick out there!

[@alainbrouillaud484]

Shoutouts while filming in the parking lot… way cool 😎

[@LucasCatania17]

I think they were making fun of me haha

[@89_tokyo_89]

I WAS HERE FOR THE POW DAY, first day i could take out the powder board

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice!!

[@BrennenL]

The 11:47 chapter was SO COOL.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

[@ambertudor]

lucas, what is your favorite ski goggle lens to use in low contrast light on the mountain

[@LucasCatania17]

anything with a high VLT %. typically a yellow lens.

[@WishMeLuck123]

Camera tech doesn't do any justice for the actual pitch on those shots. All burners and you are ripping them! Let's go!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! camera never does it justice!

[@fwysurfer]

I'm a huge fan, your in the trees vids are wild!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dude!

[@charbly8905]

We're stoked to get out to Snowbird this Thursday and Friday, conditions are going to be sick! Shooting for Solitude on Monday and who knows where on Tuesday 👌🏻

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice!! Friday and sat should be killer!

[@speedyboi2576]

@@LucasCatania17you should go hit snowbasin soon. went a few weeks ago and was pretty solid. now that there’s storms rolling in i’m sure it’d be amazing snow there

[@unoriginalperson11]

Was at Alta while you were on the Bird. Not sure what time you left LCC but took us 2.5 hrs to get down to the valley. Can’t wait till ya get back from Aspen and get some epic vids in the cottonwoods.

[@LucasCatania17]

Damn haha I left like right at 4pm so that was part of the problem but crazy traffic either way!

[@michhedeberg]

Looks so sick. Headed to snowbird tomorrow! How bad has traffic been going down little cottonwood in the AM?

[@christopherhsjiw]

Goat brother. Awesome

[@LucasCatania17]

Appreciate you

[@SkiCounseler]

I really prefer the video perspective of seeing where you are going and the line you're choosing to ski as opposed to looking backwards. Just my preference as I love your videos.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you! just gotta mix it up so its not just another headcam video.

[@Milehigh16]

So rad. Stay safe bro.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro

[@alexbutler8930]

Love it! Any chance you'd consider uploading in 60 fps? Would be awesome :)

[@FireGuy1500]

Awesome!

[@albertmanning6653]

Feb 23-25 ill be at Palisades for the Men's Downhill if you are around, would love to meet up...

[@LucasCatania17]

i will not be there but enjoy!

[@eppem]

Was that Sunday? We skied The Bird (Monday), Alta (Tuesday) and Solitude (Wednesday), missing the big dump this weekend but had a BLAST!!!

[@simone30700]

Even here in Italy there is a lot of pow! I was today skiing ant it’s really good!

[@LucasCatania17]

Love that!!

[@illusion1user]

Magnificent skiing. The end of your days brings up a doubt that I have - are you for or against the Little Cottonwood Gondola? As an outsider, my view is not relevant; however, I support the gondola.

[@ccpmarch1980]

The stoke was super high in this one. The bird with the goods!!

[@LucasCatania17]

yes man! always delivers!

[@jamesmears7552]

Man your skiing is so good! Huge fan!!! The one thing I do notice here and there tho, is I think you end up using a lot more energy in the steeps b/c you use a lot of rotation instead of early forward pressure. If you could commit harder into the turn earlier, and smooth those turns out, it would mean less strait lining and less jumpy turns/rotation oriented turns. IE like trying to ride the front point of your outside ski ~ 1 -2 feet infront of your toes through the turn. This also makes it super easy to disengage your tails, and keep your shoulders down the fallline, Not trying to criticize, that was just a big "unlock" for me personally in the steeps. I went from a lot of breaking, to much smoother/controlled feeling, and def can get a few more runs in.

[@LucasCatania17]

ya im purposely using a lot of rotation to slash the snow to get more face shots

[@jamesmears7552]

@@LucasCatania17 awesome man my mistake, if it helps you all the better else throw my idea in the trash nwnw lol. Man what a great athlete you are. Great balance, endurance, so many skiing styles. Rock on

[@gabrielpaster]

I was at Alta and it took 4 and a half hours just to get out of the canyon absolute madness. PS it took me 3 hours to get out of the parking lot.

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha yup 3.5 hours for me..

[@Joooooot]

Lucas this one is 🔥 brother good lawd. Certainly one of best videos to date, at least top 10. A banger if I may. Was up at Brighton today; conditions are definitely improving. Anoint yourselves my Utah brethren for the pow has arrived

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you man! Just so tough not to have an incredible time during a cottonwood pow day!

[@aviridesbikes]

Insane video lucas! Utah's snow looks a lot better than WA right now lol.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! hopefully WA gets some snow!

[@CineZoneYT]

I skied there on Jan. 5 when it was pouring powder.

Been stuck in LCWC before after a long flight from Dallas, ended up bailing and goin to Snow Basin. Sure wasted a lot of time, If it snows overnight or is snowing, I avoid that canyon at all cost.

[@Qver-gd9bg]

@@LucasCatania17will be there multiple days a week for most of the 24-25 season so I’m sure I’ll get in some pretty sick powder days

[@ssylvester82]

So is STH an actual run, or is it through the trees. I see that you mainly find the trees on runs so I am just trying to feel out if I could go after STH the next time I am there. I tend to avoid trees unless I am with people.

[@LucasCatania17]

I dunno really. There’s definitely sections of it that don’t have trees. When I look at the trail map, I’m just skiing in that area that says STH

[@soccerclips514]

I’m going to snowbird later in january and i would say im and intermediate at skiing. What runs should i do?

[@LucasCatania17]

honestly, snowbird isnt really the best for intermediate skiers as its mostly all black diamonds and up, but chip's run on the front side is a long intermediate run and then you could probably find some intermediate to advanced skiing on the backside at mineral basin! or gadzoom to big emma!
