another day SKIING at SNOWBIRD! :D

[@LucasCatania17]

as i always say, it's almost impossible to have a bad day up at snowbird! so stoked to have a ripping day up there with joe. thank you for watching.

[@scottaiken210]

Joe keeps sending it....what I wouldn't do to trade for those days with my Dad again...love it! Keep up the great work Lucas!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks scott. not taking it for granted thats for sure!

[@macawattackgaming]

@@LucasCatania17as we say in the mountains, don’t take it for granite.

[@ShaunEk1]

Really fun to see father/son having so much fun together.

[@LucasCatania17]

thats what its all about afterall.

[@kathygoff1]

Lucas! This is one of my most favorite videos you’ve done! Two cameras are better than one! So much fun seeing you ski from your Dad’s view & vice versa. I don’t mean to sound morbid, but my Dad died young, I was only 22. I would have loved to have more time with him… So to see how close you & papa Joe are, well, it just makes me feel so good, all warm inside! Sorry for being mushy, again, what a beautiful day @ The Bird, watching you both have so much fun!! Thanks!! PS: you are the best skier I know! You are too humble!! 👍

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks for sharing kathy. stories like that make me appreciate and want to share my dad more and more. i appreciate it.

[@DanNoakes]

It is cool to see your relationship and dynamic with your father. It is clear you guys love and respect each other a lot. I sincerely mean it is a great thing. Thanks for sharing.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dan! its definitely something i have leaned into more and more as i get older rather than shy away from it.

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Man great snow, sooo steep in those trees. Joe is amazing that he actually looked like the leader in your runs .

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah man snow was so good. and joe was definitely on it!!

[@ronniehitner980]

That entry to Great Scott was crazy!! Nerve wracking stuff

[@LucasCatania17]

haha yeah! a little tight!

[@justinbayola]

and just like that Santa brings us a 25 min BANGER!!!! LFG!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha! hopefully santa brings more!

[@R.Chapman912]

Great video Lucas! Both you and Joe are skiing at a really high level. Anybody taking drops like that is legit. Also, I love the dialogue that you guys have on the mountain about terrain and the way to navigate the hill. What a great way to show good communication in ski partners.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! didnt even really think about the communication side of things but we definitely have a lot of that going on!

[@jaredrobinson915]

Love the longer vids, I like seeing the analysis you take before sending what could be a dangerous line. With how expensive a ski instructor is videos like this really come in handy when looking at what to send

[@LucasCatania17]

glad you find the videos informative like that!

[@augustwest5273]

Snowbird is my favorite mountain and it’s so great that you have this time with your father. I take my kids to snowbird every year and I can only wish that my kids still want to ski with me at 62. I’m not far off from that. I used to wait for them and now they wait for me.

[@nicolettafiorentino4596]

Lukie. You and DAD are the only ones skiing among rocks and trees! So scary! Watched the whole thing clenching my teeth. Great skiing…..take care!❤ Gram

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks gram!

[@daviddreyfuss1529]

another great video...especially the way you alternate from your pov to Joe's while you're both skiing the same line... good stuff...

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man!!

[@chasefetrow9138]

Great video man!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

[@eye_duh_heaux]

Love the content! In Cali we are still praying for more snow. Looks like Tahoe is about to get rained on. 😢 at least I can live vicariously through your channel! Keep it up!

[@josephstratemeier8619]

Every time I look at the forecast it gets a little colder. I think there's a chance it'll come in colder than they thought. Let's hope so!

[@LucasCatania17]

such a bummer! ive been waiting for california to get some snow so i could head out that way!

[@thebear_beforethebear]

BIG Joe is a ANIMAL. It looks like he’s getting after it on camera. Can’t imagine what it looks like irl.

[@LucasCatania17]

haha yeah man he was on a different level today!

[@justinbayola]

nothing better than watching you two on great scott. Will always be my favorite run to watch you ski, and maybe 6 bells.

[@LucasCatania17]

felt great to get the first one done for the year!

[@rayrayjj]

Yeewww! Thanks for labeling everything...I follow along on Google Earth and you can pan and tilt and get a really good birds eye view of the terrain. Like a 3d map. Great Scott was DICEY!!!! my hands were sweating. I wouldn't watch these videos if you were a hot dog. Period. You and your Pop are a breath of fresh air in an increasingly vast and vapid internet. ✌

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks for following along! appreciate the kind words my friend. appreciate you.

[@bonrodgers4096]

Rippin with Papa Joe never gets old looked like a fun day.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks bon! always fun

[@chazbickel4518]

They might have to change the name to STOKE BIRD... Living the dream!!!! Yeeeewwww!!!

haha thanks chaz. love it!

[@jameslynch2372]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful views. Enjoy your love of the mountains.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!!

[@BigFreak52]

Sick! STH and the trees next to it might be sneaky one of my favorite zones in all of Snowbird. Your dad is still a MONSTER!

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah man agree! STH is so rad!

Those Gad2 laps looked bomb!! Great content!!!

Wow! Joe is a beast! Snowbird looks so fun

[@LucasCatania17]

its my favorite!

[@Tormihanssen]

@@LucasCatania17 I think i need to convince my GF of going on a Ski Holiday in Utah and not the European Alps 😂 because the terrain looks sick!!

[@SECULARDEVELOPMENT]

It has been a couple of years since I skied the Bird .Having had a few seasons there I feel like it has never me. Here is the thing about the Bird You get better there or you get hurt and once you get better there you can never forget the Bird.

[@LucasCatania17]

you arent wrong on that haha!

[@nycpigeon19]

Dope video. Felt like I was there with you on the top. I know the camera never captures the true elevation of when your standing on Great Scott, but dang your POV came close. & that rock hit on STH was money, I got hyped. Peace

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man!!

[@bryceh7469]

I've been watching your channel long enough to know that you and your pops have a undeniable love for Great Scott, but It'd be cool to see you ride some of the other cirque runs. Tower 3, Glens, Lower and Middle Cirque. That'd be cool to see. Thanks for the continual inspiration!

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah definitely need to explore other areas off the cirque more often. we like skiing barry barry steep, restaurant roll, daltons draw - diid shot 15 and 16 years ago - tower 3 last year, lower cirque and middle cirque just feels like you lose vert but all those runs are awesome.

[@evancortens]

Really enjoyed cutting back and forth between the two GoPros! Great video!!

[@LucasCatania17]

aye thanks evan! glad you liked it

[@skifishbob7599]

Shout out to Joe. He is my age and I love to see his stoke. I really enjoy skiing the Bird with my two sons. We are from the northeast and have 2 weeks at the Iron Blosam. First one coming the second week in January. Then again in March. Can’t wait. Thanks for the videos.

[@LucasCatania17]

love to hear that man!! stoked for you guys

[@leviwarr4490]

Wow looked like a sick day! Snow looked rly nice especially off of gad 2! You were also getting wild sending it off anything and everything!! Sick vid my man!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks levi! trying to hit a few more things this year!

[@SawayaNm]

Sorry Lucas! Joe is super amazing! Definitely dad outsmarted the son! 😂👍👌🏼💪

[@timothyward2719]

Thanks for getting me stoked. Taking my first trip to Snowbird from NorCal this week. Just a 3 day weekend, and not looking like we're gonna score serious pow, but it's gonna be leaps over the conditions in Tahoe right now. So stoked, thanks for getting me hyped.

[@LucasCatania17]

oh yeah man its gonnna be sick for you either way. enjoy!!

[@TomD94]

Hey man been loving the early season videos this year! It's awesome to see a father son duo tearing the mountain up like that.

Love the back and forth POV between you and papa Joe. I also died after great Scott when he laughed at you and called you crazy😂 was up there Friday too but didn’t bump into ya!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dan! glad you liked the video. and crazy how we can be up there together and not run into each other haha

[@adiosjohnny1]

Loving the all videos Lucas, but there is extra Stoke when you ski with your dad. I skied the ARV 100 in the 179 and 186cm. It was fun, but I enjoy my larger platform Armada skis, Tracer 108 and JJ UL. I'm coming out to Park City tomorrow, hoping that someone in town demos the Whitewalker 116. I'd like to take a ride on that and compare to the JJ UL.

[@LucasCatania17]

yoo thanks man!! ive never used the jj UL but my take on the WW116 vs JJ116 is that the JJ has a bit more camber and less rocker, so its a little bit more versatile as an all-mountain powder ski, where the WW116 is really a dedicated pow slayer! hope you enjoy your trip and thank you for the $10!!

[@willangel9777]

Damn, Joe!! Save some for the rest of us. 🤘

[@darinsmith2458]

I see Joe was rocking the Enforcer 110s... I bet I could do that stuff with my Enforcer 104s;)

[@darinsmith2458]

Tell Joe there is a difference between tree skiing and treeing;)

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah thats a great ski! joe has been loving his 110s!

[@shredcavemedia3764]

PAPA JOE short swing turn master looking like Scotty Brooksbank!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha he loves his mogul turns

[@jakeQuillin]

Another awesome video as always Lucas!! I was just curious if you'd ever think about making a video on tips and tricks for higher level skiing and your thought process when doing chutes, and very steep terrain? Would be awesome if so! Love the videos, keep it up, and Joe is awesome as well, your guys relationship is awesome

[@LucasCatania17]

ive thought about it. im just pretty tentative on doing ski tips/tricks because surely i would face a lot of internet backlash. so not sure if i really want to open up that can of worms if that makes sense.

[@jakeQuillin]

@@LucasCatania17 Ah gotcha, yea that makes sense for sure

[@dphotos007]

I just turned 66 and I would love to ski with Joe. Your father is a great skier. As I get older all my friends do not ski anymore. Kind of sucks to find people to ski with now. I live in Los Angeles so Mammoth is my go to mountain. Love days like you had with the sun on your back so you can see your shadow. Hope you can make it out to Mammoth again in 2024. You and your dad are better than average skiers.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you ! definitely will be getting out to mammoth when they get more snow!

[@BruceOldham]

Yooo Lucas 😊 How do you find the GoPro Max for filming POV skiing compared to like the Black 12??

[@LucasCatania17]

i think the max is king for POV still but the hero 12+max lens mod 2.0 is a great alternate option now!
