COPPER MOUNTAIN OPENING DAY 2025!

[@LucasCatania17]

Always fun to check another opening day off the list! Checking out Breck today!

[@POW862]

EPIC lines!!!

[@Ismarttt]

So sick

[@MrZebanHai]

I think that was a pretty solid video. Kinda cool seeing a clip of you editing. I don't think we need a full tutorial, but it's more interesting when you include some of the other little things you do every day. I wouldn't dog on yourself too hard, you were probably just tired of standing in long queue lines, lol.

[@matthewrobb2853]

Lucas in regards to your closing remarks, we are always stoked on your content! Never forget that!

[@LucasCatania17]

I appreciate that man !

[@eddiea2638]

[@CarolineCondon821]

Could you do an editing tutorial? Great skiing, love the opening days!

[@LucasCatania17]

[@mdoneg]

Opening day is just the novelty of it. Cpl runs and get the wiggles out! Also, always be proud of your work. You’re great at editing and making watchable content.

[@LucasCatania17]

You are very right about that. Get some wiggles! Thank you for the support 🙏🏽

Great content as usual Lucas, thanks so much. It’s good to let people know how much work is involved in shooting and editing, all on the road. Remarkable man. Well done 🙏

[@LucasCatania17]

Really appreciate that James. Thank you for the continued support over the years.

[@winger0608]

When we arrived on Nov 1 still all grass on the base, and next 2 day got storm, but was able to ski pre-open day for a week. satisfied without crowds.

[@Anolaana]

Appreciate you sharing the reports hot off the press, it must be hard work but we appreciate it!

[@LucasCatania17]

My pleasure man!

[@CrimpKeeper]

Thanks for sharing, definitely motivating me to work on my van and hit the road again.

[@LucasCatania17]

Love to hear that dude thanks for watching.

[@patkelly5910]

Great video and music.....I enjoyed first day runs with you...

[@LucasCatania17]

Great to hear, pat!

[@scotts1409]

[@LucasCatania17]

I appreciate that thank you!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Same bro. Hope you had a good one!

[@susanmoriarty9900]

love the music choice! great condishions!

[@LucasCatania17]

Glad you liked it!

[@filsh8546]

Lucas!! Even for the most tame video in your opinion, people like me in the east coast are living vicariously through you and loving your content! Man, it’s not even cold over here right now. I love your aesthetic and the way your vlogs are set up. Your videos create the hype for us leading up to our ski trips in January/March so know that they’re very much appreciated ✌🏼

[@LucasCatania17]

I really appreciate that man. Glad you enjoy the vids!

[@JohnnieKav]

I was there too! Today they opened up the upper mountain 👌

[@LucasCatania17]

That’s awesome! Bet the skiing was great

[@mikedonia1125]

I would love to see a video on the editing process as well. Love the videos, and it would be cool to see what all goes into their production.

[@LucasCatania17]

sounds good man. seems like theres some demand for it.

[@blockheadyt1072]

Great video!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks!

[@troubadour1783]

Ended up going to Wolf Creek instead of copper yesterday. It was a good choice. Alberta opened and it was bottomless pow laps for days. So fun. Also no lift lines!

[@LucasCatania17]

thats awesome man! definitely a good move!

[@Lindner360]

great video! would love to see your editing workflow! ⛷️👨🏽‍💻

[@LucasCatania17]

Noted!!

[@ironfn-]

Crazy lift lines, those storms look like they’re giving some pretty good opening day conditions though. Great day 5 video ❤

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks bro! good snow and good lift lines lol

[@Aerialdad14yt]

Looks like a typical mid season east coast resort on a good day

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha yikes

[@therealtflyes2794]

Purple Ribbon. nice work

[@jacobstrickler3]

Love the videos! Just ordered some stickers 🔥

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks dude! Will get your order out today!

[@IcepointEvo]

hope to see you in Tahoe soon!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Hope they get snow soon!!

[@kreygrant3994]

Love love love brotha! I was at WP and Copper! bummed to have missed ya!

[@LucasCatania17]

Damn you hit both! Nice work bro

[@AnthonyFaucci]

Really great video my man. Always entertaining. Loved the little adobe sneak peek at the end. Still waiting on the editing series brother!

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha that will be in honor of you!

[@gamesa1231]

Happy Birthday 🎉

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

[@rylansneed]

Would be sick to see more of the editing process. Loved the cinematics in this one!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks bro! glad you liked it

[@KingSolrac]

love to see some of t hat behind the scenes stuff!

[@LucasCatania17]

sounds good bro!

[@adventurercarlo115]

Another banger from Lucas!

[@LucasCatania17]

Lmao appreciate that Carlo!

[@justinsiegrist]

Would love to see more about your editing process. Something I always struggle with is having so much footage after a big trip, I'm not sure how to keep it all organized, so editing becomes a daunting task.

[@LucasCatania17]

the organization part is arguably the most important!

[@luminati4418]

Was so sick bumping into you on the hill! Love all your vids! Keep up the great work man!

[@LucasCatania17]

Hell yes man great to meet you!

[@YellowMamba8]

Yes! I want to see more video editing. I want to make my own videos

[@LucasCatania17]

Okay noted!

[@ShaeLSmith]

Hehe got to see my sticker being sent out! 😊

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes!! Should be there next week!

[@shawneggers4484]

Love the insight on time to make your vids! Hope everyone realizes just how much work you put into these for us to enjoy! As always, big kudos my friend :)

[@LucasCatania17]

i appreciate that shawn!!

[@TheNvm452]

Great video! I took next Tuesday off and am on the IKON Pass. Any recommendations for a full day of boarding? Thinking Copper or Winter Park

[@linusdellenbach8395]

1:57 Greatest Handshake in History

[@LucasCatania17]

Lmao so awkward

[@matthewrobb2853]

lol, we've all been there.

[@parkriley8]

Anyone else notice the chaos at 7:50?

[@LucasCatania17]

Now I do

[@TaylorMoss15]

Would love to see more about how you edit videos!

[@LucasCatania17]

noted!

[@strathound]

I'd definitely be into how you edit your videos.

[@LucasCatania17]

nnoted!

[@rickytowers904]

If you ever come to WP mid season and want to ride with some of the big mountain team holler. Been a coach there for 5 years and we could def show you a good time.

[@LucasCatania17]

appreciate that man. might have to take you up on that!

[@tloftus89]

Great video. What was the music playing?

[@funnykek7250]

Please more editing, im really interested how you do it. Overall really good video!!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you!

[@AndrewMcMorrow]

Any day on the slopes is stoke

[@LucasCatania17]

for sure!

[@Wardenlw]

Bro, you undersell yourself sometimes. A lot of people here just watch these videos for you, it doesn’t need to have crazy runs or events for the videos to be super enjoyable. I love seeing the non skiing side of things

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you, sir. Means a lot. I’m my own worst enemy a lot of the times

[@jdlars42]

Hey I know you’ve mentioned boot heaters a couple times. Which ones do you use?

[@LucasCatania17]

therm-ic boot heaters

[@SkiLifeEscapes]

I'm trying to make an effort in making ski vlog videos but the hardest part is the editing portion on premiere pro so I'd love to get a tutorial from ya and tips and tricks!

[@LucasCatania17]

sounds good man!

[@degan1919]

I wish more people would stay in their lane like you do

[@LucasCatania17]

Everyone is at their own level

[@NoahLuce]

Another outstanding day in the pow. I've noticed how the new Armada ''white'' apparel seems to change color in different light. Inside the van it looks white although outside in the the overcast it has gets nice looking translucent green tinge, and the heavier the overcast the more the greenish translucent/tinge comes out, it's a super, super sharp look IMO. Are you seeing this or is it an affect of the gopro? I first noticed it when you were wearing the jacket and it was an outstanding look with the black pant.

[@LucasCatania17]

it definitely might change a bit depending on the video! it is like a pale highlighter green color for sure!

[@bw1724]

Hey Lucas! Looks like snow is looking great in Colorado. Can you show ur go pro settings + nd filter settings and how you mount your go pro I would very much appreciate since im trying to upscale my GoPro skiing footage

[@LucasCatania17]

ive made videos like that on the channel - how i mount my gopros and the settings i use, but maybe ill make another one

[@CrimpKeeper]

So fucking sick brah.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks dude!

[@trxcali]

For stickers can you make a snowboard one i see the skiing one is sick but a snowboard one with the same style would be sick! Great vid

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man!

[@Skiing_mason]

HAH 7:53 made me laugh so hard

[@LucasCatania17]

Didn’t even notice at first

[@anthonysears871]

White ribbons of death! 😝

[@LucasCatania17]

Or white ribbons of joy depending on perspective!

[@notponcho3526]

what is that gloves that you're wearing?

[@MaxRank]

Be interested to know what ski season prep you do if any? I’m 2 months out from my annual trip, and me and my peloton are getting acquainted again for cardio and the squats are back in full force. Great video content as always mate. P.s. that line is exactly why I ski at Whitefish. No lines.

[@LucasCatania17]

I don’t do anything specific for ski season preparation. I work out year round

[@winstonmartin846]

What did you think of the Honduran?

[@speedyboi2576]

you gonna be there for park city opening day???

[@LucasCatania17]

Either there or Alta!

[@ryanstubbs3211]

Interested in the editing.

[@LucasCatania17]

Copy!

[@emmetsheridan1868]

Go to Mammoth next! Opening day November 15th!

[@LucasCatania17]

I won’t be there unfortunately but have fun!

[@Tommy-gk6bh]

Couldn’t help but notice the HK pants. Big paintball guy eh?

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah prob my #1 passion

[@zachtilley4918]

Great episode! Do you listen to music or podcast while you edit? Or do you just sit in silence haha

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha! I’m usually listening to myself talk over and over again and the music that the video is cut to

[@KennyGriffin]

What makes you choose Premiere Pro over Final Cut? I found editing 360 Max footage in Final Cut to be easier.

[@LucasCatania17]

the gopro fx reframe plugin is only compatible with adobe premiere pro. premiere is also just a more capable program than final cut in general but whatever works for you!

[@noahmedina3640]

started giggling when you did the voice text had a pause then said haha in the most normal voice😭😭

[@LucasCatania17]

hahah glad you got it

[@andyrobinson339]

Hey Lucas - You mentioned your boot warmers. What make are they and are you happy with them? Great work as usual!

[@LucasCatania17]

they are the therm-ic boot heaters and yeah they've been great so far!

[@andyrobinson339]

@@LucasCatania17 Thank you so much! Did you consider Hotronics?

[@Coconautify]

Thanks Lucas... the editing process is very interesting, and I think many of us a amateur editors with our own channels etc... the one thing I always struggle with is keeping the video quality high when uploading to YT... for some reason YT, when it compresses the video, can really degrade the quality... how do you get around this?

[@LucasCatania17]

make sure you're uploading in 4k!

[@declanhubbard]

I was gonna go but I don’t have half my gear yet 😢

[@LucasCatania17]

Long season man don’t sweat it

[@alwaysbecarving]

I would definitely be interested in an editing tutorial.

[@LucasCatania17]

Sounds good!

[@teddyzamba1396]

Why is that track so seemingly boiler plate; and not corduroy, or is that establishing base firmament of a sort. Just seems it should be a softer piste.

[@Pgd10020]

Freaking nuking today

[@LucasCatania17]

Hasn’t stopped haha!

[@melleetravelescapades]

How do ,Which resort is your favourite and why ?

[@LucasCatania17]

snowbird, utah - most snow, gnarly terrain and lots of vertical.

[@melleetravelescapades]

@ nice one. Hope to check it out someday 👍🏻

[@darinsmith2458]

Happy Birthday.. I think Copper is known for the racing.. I knew someone who would go to Copper to get away from the crowds.. Wow 4-5 hours for editing... That is serious..

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks darin! copper definitely a big racing and even park place for sure

[@declanhubbard]

I would dig a editing video I need one desperately

[@LucasCatania17]

Noted!

[@pburks]

You and Buckhouse should do a stream together!

[@LucasCatania17]

That would be fun!

[@Skier27-p5s]

Pls come skiing in australia

[@LucasCatania17]

That would be rad!

[@weirdbeard1980]

Sick to get out but what terrible decision to restrict access to that other chair to teams. Give them their own line and allow them to cut in but let everyone ride it as well.

[@LucasCatania17]

i'm sure they had their reasons. i heard they opened up that chair the next day and more runs

[@Skier27-p5s]

Sup

[@LucasCatania17]

What up

[@lennoxreilly7264]

Bro died at 7:52 😅

[@LucasCatania17]

lol!

[@jacksultan8146]

Why Australia when we have the best snow right here in the inter-Mountain west of the United States oh yeah..... Can you say Utah Colorado Wyoming New Mexico killer Snow killer terrain

[@LucasCatania17]

Agree jack!

[@djTNELS]

If you uploaded your leftover footage as asmr, I would watch it.

[@LucasCatania17]

Just some raw skiing asmr

[@davelavigne2133]

sounds crusty AF

[@LucasCatania17]

it is opening day after all!

[@jimlovaas6512]

Lucas, man, I love what you do, I love your content, but I gotta say as an old school skier; that repeated hockey stop to the left irritates the SHIT out of me.Control your speed IN YOUR LINE, MAN!... *Ahem* We now return you to your regular programming...

[@LucasCatania17]

i dont do it to control my speed - just spray some snow up in my face. its called a "slash." thank you though!!
