BLUEBIRD POW day at MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN!

[@abekislevitz]

So rad! Thanks for coming out to shred, let's do it again soon! We gotta film more! This turned out awesome, thanks for all the kind words :)

[@liamk3054]

GoPro hire Lucas

[@LucasCatania17]

so down man! thanks for letting me use your max footage!

[@JohnDoe-fe6ol]

This production quality was literally like a documentary couldn't stop watching

[@LucasCatania17]

stoked you liked it man!

[@topwritingacademy6459]

Just started following you. My wife and I skied out of Mammoth for 26 years and now live in Idaho. You first runs on Sunshine Glades between 22 and 25 bring back memories of some of the best powder runs of my life. This is an epic season. Your videos remind me of 2016-2017. So glad you are enjoying the mountain.

[@LucasCatania17]

This was the most incredible experience ever. And honestly, I was so nervous throughout the entire day to film. I’m still in disbelief. Check out Abe on socials at @abekislevtiz!!

[@EpicAJ.]

this is the bluebird pow day lol

[@LucasCatania17]

No.

[@jacespilde4856]

you should come to south dakota and ski terry peak

[@chazbickel4518]

That was awesome Lucas. Your taking your dreams to the next level. Just got the all clear to ski after 6 months of physical therapy. So stoked to be back in action. Your videos got me through man.. Thank you . The stoke is real..... Happy New Year! See you on the mountain. Yeeeew!!

[@leoyamazaki601]

This video made me so happy for you! It's awesome to get to see the non-pov shots of you shredding mixed in too. Takes it to the next level! Abe is goated 🐐

[@gabegoldman6021]

I mean Lucas, this was the best video you have ever created. The snow, the skiing, the cinematography. Just insane. Good stuff and happy new year!

[@jacobpowers4855]

Yea, definitely cool to see him riding with peers and some of thought behind how they are scoping/shooting lines.

[@shayneknox6247]

Absolutely amazing content Lucas!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you so much man!!

[@slck9404]

Just shows how much better videos are when 2 people are involved.

[@LucasCatania17]

agreed

[@williamfox1146]

I believe that skiing is the most fun I can have with my clothes still on.

[@sorenlines8695]

Amen

[@donndonnn]

Yessssss

[@LucasCatania17]

i second that

[@RCTFreek2channel]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYO!

[@ActionXander]

THIS is what it's all about!! Meeting those who inspire us, sharing the stoke, and absolutely crushing it on the mountain!! I'm so jealous you got to meet Abe and y'all were absolutely killing it together on those cliffs 😤🤙🏻

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you papi! such a surreal day!!

[@michaelturley1506]

BRO THIS VIDEO JUST FIRED ME UP SO MUCH. Idk it felt like a meeting of two legends and like an episode of rocket power or something. Keep up the fire videos!!

[@0xCUBE]

This was the most insane youtube video I've ever watched. My jaw was on the floor the whole video. Awesome job, Lucas. You and Abe are a dream duo.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you homie!! im stoked you liked it

[@dphotos007]

I remember those days at Mammoth when you are skiing fresh powder with a group of friends who are the same ability as you. Glad you got to meet the guy you admire. Your videos are fun to watch.

[@MalariousDarius]

Abe is the man! I started following his content back when he was in college with his ski team and ended up buying a GoPro as a result haha. Glad you got to meet him

[@LucasCatania17]

yes dude he is the gopro goat

[@jgg0207]

This is my favorite episode I've watched! You crushed the colab!

[@trevdorand]

God damn Lucas what a banger video. The snow, skiing, and cinematography were incredible. What an insane day on the mountain… 👏🏼. The clip at the end of Abe going off the cliff could be in a movie. Congrats

[@gregorylauricella711]

Dude. The rebound video with this after a tough day at DV. Insane, keep up the good work. Looking forward to future vids!

[@djpeak10]

So sick!! I was up there for a week and was on cloud nine when it opened at 3:00, it was definitely epic. Good stuff buddy!!!

[@Aboard_and_Abroad]

10:30 "its fun to have someone to shred with" omg

[@plee5179]

The IDK run I believe is upper dry creek, usually has a lot of moguls and is real fun on a powder day

[@LucasCatania17]

ah gotcha thank you!

[@patrickchase5614]

It's Dry Creek (not upper, not lower). Upper Dry Creek is the crease that begins that canyon, starting below Top of the World. To get to it you take Upper Gondola, start on the skier's right of Climax, and the traverse under the rocks as soon as you can. It ends at the cat track where Lucas started his run. Lower Dry creek is the continuation of the gully below the bottom of Chair 5.

[@ynot0714]

Such a good vid Lucas! Glad you got to hook up with your bud. Ripping it here in PC with 2 buddies since grade school and we're damn here 60. No bluebird day here but we got a shit ton of snow. Happy New Years Day!

[@MorganTuohy]

Best video yet man, it's awesome seeing you hit mammoth this hard. Congrats on the success this season!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks morgan! mammoth is sick for sure

[@ohheyychristian]

When Mammoth gets some good snow, it's LEGENDARY. Phenomenal video man!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you bro!

[@louismacpherson1122]

Such an awesome video dude! Conditions looked so prime and skiing with and idol like that must have been epic. Hopefully 2023 brings more epic days like these 🎉

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks louis! heres to a great 2023!

[@fltwins948]

My favorite video yet. Insane! Specially in the forest area the dragon something.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dude!

[@reginay7729]

That Dry Creek run is one of my fav runs at Mammoth and glad u got to ski it! So many pow face shots in this one…love it

[@LucasCatania17]

i loved that run! super cool with all the rocks haha

[@ConnorNewell]

Most epic video with the most epic guy! Skiing and filming with that guy would be sick!! 🙌🏼

[@LucasCatania17]

I’m in mammoth right now aswell and this has been my first pow day since I was like 8 and I’m 15 now. Love the channel man keep making great videos

[@maitogai1995]

Honestly Lucas, you’re one of my favorite skiers to watch. Clean and clear content with the best vibes ever. I’m a snowboarder that wants to try skiing one day

[@gkhrim729]

amazing conditions cali is getting blessed

[@danbsmith]

Everything about this was BAD ASS! So happy for you! You earned this experience and absolutely made the best of it with a ridiculous video. Loved every second!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you dan! stoked that you liked it!

[@MrRekick]

So sick that you got to ride with Abe. I remember watching all of his videos with him and his crew back in like 2010 and he was a big inspiration for me in regards to filming live action sports.

[@LucasCatania17]

exactly! he is the original gopro legend

This was your sickest filming of mammoth yet Lucas. Fun to see you ski with other rippers! Abe seems legit. This has me so stoked… I’m heading out to mammoth for a week mid January

one of my favorites for sure.

Another phenomenal video. Lucas continues to inspire. I absolutely love it. Keep the amazing content coming.

Soooo sick!! I was there that day. Timed the top opening and chair 23 instead of chair 9. Can't go wrong!!!

[@rayrayjj]

Fantastic video...what a difference a day makes

[@stevehori673]

Chair 9 fresh tracks…awesome. I also like the chair 25 side of Lincoln Mtn. Still killing it Lucas.

love how you went from like your worst day ever skiing to literally your best and dream ski day haha! what a crazy day! I enjoyed that a lot keep it up! Happy New Year lucas!!

thanks gary! lots of fun

[@zachtilley4918]

Hell yeah man! Just got back from three days of skiing Snowbird and found some great snow myself. Happy New Year man! Great Scott’s to Mach Schnell was fantastic, thanks for the beta.

[@LucasCatania17]

one of the sickest combos out there haha

[@ianfoehr6011]

That's the bounce back video you were looking for. Holy shit man, that looked insane. Plus you solved the issue of not being able to make a video to your liking with another person. All you needed was someone who shreds and works for go pro. Simple. What a day after what will forever be known in stoke lore as " the disaster in Deer Valley ". That dragons tail at 330 golden hour light was gorgeous. Nice work 👏. Abe fucking rips

[@bubblebaath7840]

i saw that lift line and my jaw just dropped. it makes sense bc its a sick resort but I'm used to Australia where you can ski straight into the lift half the time

[@LucasCatania17]

its also a super busy time of the year rn but the lines move quick

[@leewinter28]

Upper Dry creek off High 5 lift is challenging because of some big bumps and Lower Dry Creek is fun with a few nice kickers. Top to bottom will work you out.

[@LucasCatania17]

that run was a lot of fun!

[@clari1]

Best video yet! Hope you two can film and ski together more!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you! me too!

[@RopeyMagnumMan]

Hell yes my dude, keep checking off goals! Always save your videos for my daily stationary bike workout, perfect motivation! Want my legs to be as strong as possible for my Colorado trip

[@susanmoriarty9900]

Wow, can't wait too get back out west and ski....That powder I'm on the east coast (Connecticut) just so Temps here aren't Cooperating Cooperating for snowmaking I did go twice this week and was great to just being out on the slopes. I just retired and helping mom out (she's 91).

[@LucasCatania17]

its awesome you got out susan! hope mom is well.

[@gregorgraschitz]

Awesome video man!

[@patrickchase5614]

Awesome video! What you label "Shaft" is in the Sunshine Glades, close to Grizzly. Shaft is much closer to the lift line than where you were. What you label is "Viva" is actually the gladed ridge between Avy 1 and Viva, though you exited on the Avy 1 side. Avy 1 proper is the "straight shot all the way down" that you saw and went to the skiers right of. The IDK run is Dry Creek. Upper Dry Creek (which another commented mentioned) is the crease dropping from Top of the World down to the cat track you started on, while Lower Dry Creek is the continuation of that canyon below the base of 5. You were in Dry Creek proper. Your footage from Dragon's Tail is stoke-inspiring. I've spent so many powder days working my way out along that ridge (from Head to Back to Wazoo's to the Tail glades) as other stuff tracks out, and it always delivers. Wrt your walk at the beginning, trom the top of Chair 2 you can hike around the back of the snowmaking pond next to McCoy, and from there hit Coyote to the bottom of 5 (right where you exited the "IDK" run later in the video). If 5 is closed you can then take a short hike up and over the ridge to get to Chair 4. That would probably be easier overall than the hike you took.

[@chyme_ru]

FYI the run you labeled IDK was dry creek. Super glad you made it back to mammoth! The video was awesome! I was over on 23 and the backside that day so nice to see what the other side of the mountain was like :)

[@LucasCatania17]

haha awesome! i was wondering how 23 was at the end of the day

[@chyme_ru]

@@LucasCatania17 it was great! Right at 3 the backside opened including hemlocks. I think 9 might have been better based on your video though :)

[@philiplacey5430]

One of your better episodes. It's interesting to see how much is added when you have a 3rd party who can match your skiing and camera skills. It really is a 1+1=3 equation. I love watching your 1st person POV video but sometimes I'm thinking "I wonder what that guy looks like from the chair lift"? As in, is he just an athletic dude hacking his way down the mountain or is he the real deal? I'm sure it was a great day skiing but you were obviously just as stoked to be sharing it with another person who understands all the crap you have to endure to get 8 minutes of excellent content. Well done.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you philip. well said.

nice to see you with Abe, between the two of you - so many hours of videos watched. At times when you were skiing, especially when you surprised him when you were already next to him and he looked over his back shoulder, and you were there, I thought - "brothers separated at birth?" Also liked how he admitted, skiing solo so much, how much fun it was to ride with someone equal- Happy New Years
