exploring NEW LINES at SNOWBIRD!!

[@LucasCatania17]

massive thank you to snowbird for the night at The Cliff! the bird never disappoints..

[@batman50ish]

Wow! Really, REALLY nice skiing in this episode Lucas!!! High speed flow and flawless technique. You are now cleary in the ZONE for the23'/24 season. Living vicariously through you since Tahoe is still "bare bones" skiing right now. Thanks for letting us tag along for the fun.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks so much! really appreciate that! hope tahoe gets more snow soon!

[@zachtilley4918]

The Gad chutes look like they are skiing great!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah man super soft!

[@lancewhite1540]

Lmao, that moment at 19:17 when that “little air” becomes massive and the arms start trying to stabilize for flight 😂 ✈️

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah! a lot bigger than expected.

[@willhughes5530]

hey Lucas! Just a tip, you actually can get Great Scott off of Little Cloud if you just stay high up off the cut over, and look for the gate that says Upper Cirque/Great Scott. there might be very minimal side stepping involved, but you can indeed hit GS from the highest gate off of the traverse from Little Cloud

[@shawneggers4484]

Damn Lucas! The progression you have made over the past three seasons is mind blowing. You’ve always been a great skier but honestly you have jumped to the next level. Big props and kudos my friend! Safe travels.

[@michaelschwartz7465]

Great video Lucas. I appreciate that you’re finding ways to keep the videos entertaining even after skiing Snowbird like 10x already this season. Those Gad chutes looked sick and that hit off Great Scott was huge! Appreciate all the B roll and other stuff you filmed too, I think it adds to the videos by giving us the viewer the feel that we’re coming along for a whole ski day with you. Keep it up!!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks michael! appreciate you taking the time to leave some kind words like that. trying to keep stuff interesting but will be checking out some different resorts soon!

[@garymoore3317]

Some courageous skiing there Lucas. i flinch sometimes watching you as if i’m about to hit a tree or rock 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

haha we're all good. just trying to keep it interesting.

[@elguapo6750]

Lucas... You live life well. Kudos to you! I'm enjoying your channel and living vicariously. Once upon a time, I was a Park City ski bum in the early 90's and spent many days in Little (and Big) Cottonwood. I recall many of these lines.

[@justinbayola]

That Great scott entrance was looking spicy!!!!! Great video and I hope you guys had a great time up at the Bird. Thanks for the stoke brother!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks for watching my man

[@hestermanfan]

The way you scrub speed after a straight line in the steeps is seriously impressive - you make it look easy!

[@FireGuy1500]

Your videos get better each time

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks!

[@hawlikd]

Love the Big Bird snow suit eh!

[@grandillusion52]

Wow bro I have never seen these lines at Snowbird!! hell yea! Awesome episode, glad you guys had a great time, hard to beat those conditions.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks greg! really fun little section off the cirque!

[@C.oleCarson]

Dude this is the sickest video you've ever posted! So many sick lines!

[@LucasCatania17]

ha! glad you liked it man.

[@carsonskiing]

haha my two favorite ski youtubers

[@jamesmartinez458]

Incredible! Love how you visualize the run then execute. Keep it coming bro 😁

[@LucasCatania17]

thats what its all about! thanks man

[@AlpineChris]

sick runs Lucas! Snow looks incredible

[@paulmignini]

My man!! Been watching since 3k subs. Your skill set and ability level have taken a massive leap forward in the past 2 seasons. You've gone from high advanced to expert and are currently knocking on the door of "artist" (personal perspective categories though, obvi) It's really a pleasure watch. Keep shreddn' !!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks so much paul! crazy to think where the channel was when i was at 3k subs. appreciate you being here - wouldnt go as far as artist haha but definitely trying to push my skill level more and have fun while doing it!

[@HawkinSaeger]

Absolutely shredding. Your skiing level is insane

[@carsonskiing]

Haven't watched one of your videos in a couple weeks! I'm definitely glad I came back, that looked amazing!

[@ItsMoStuff111]

Seems really good man!

[@zman7689]

I remember I rode Gad Chutes last year on my last day at Snowbird - it looked so different, most of those rocks were buried deep. Interesting to see the change season to season.

[@andyhoban-nx1yz]

Sick terrain sick skiing. Crazy how good of a skier you are. Awesome 🤙

[@LucasCatania17]

i appreciate that man!

[@nickreval2029]

Was really cool to catch you out there on Thursday- what an epic day to ski!

[@LucasCatania17]

likewise man!!

[@PokerDeegen24]

Killer skiing

[@Qver-gd9bg]

Gad chutes look insane in person, pretty crazy skiing through them you were doing lol.

[@ADHski]

That ridge view into SLC is absolutely insane on a bluebird day! Thanks for sharing the stoke as always brother.

[@drewhipple10]

Never been out west. Hilarious that your greens look like east coast blues. Snowbird is on my list for sure!

[@SilkOCE]

Skiing was mental in this one...

[@J0EWE3D]

Love gad chutes

[@DogWhoFilms]

Go up GAD II… your goal is the cliffs at the bottom of gad II to the right hand side. (Also… at the top of GAD II, the Black Forest on a powder day is a tree lovers dream

[@briankrische3364]

It was great to see you there, I didn't realize you were filming when I was behind you leaving the locker room. Too bad we didn't get all that snow that they were predicting overnight. The day before was a blast though.

[@devin12387]

Great stuff. I was at snowbird for the last week. My first time out west. I normally ski east. Skied 105 width for the first time. it was amazing.

[@weirdbeard1980]

That was a banger. Some fun looking lines in there with the little mandatory airs.

[@LucasCatania17]

yea definitely a fun area at the bird!

[@weirdbeard1980]

@LucasCatania17 I'm thinking about coming up from Tahoe to shred a couple mid-week days. Get a cheap hotel down the hill from the bird and do it on the cheap. If you got any tips of where to stay and where to avoid, it would be appreciated.

[@scottaiken210]

Fun is what is all about....book a block of 20 rooms for meet up #4...In!!! Stoke continues at the bird! Holy send at the end of great scott.

[@LucasCatania17]

haha! meetup #4 is sponsored by the cliff!!

[@MaxRank]

Great lines mate awesome skiing. My annual trip to Whitefish has come to an end so now I’ll live the rest of my season through your lens. We had 18 inches of powder and a very rare bluebird day up at Big Mountain and had a blast. Fantastic tree skiing in the deep fluffy stuff. Definitely need a wider ski in my quiver

[@LucasCatania17]

super stoked to hear that man. glad to hear you had a good day for your final day of the season!

[@jacksultan8146]

Gorgeous area 😍 for sure

[@LucasCatania17]

Yea no doubt!

[@Trailsthatflow]

10:27 Candleabra.....you are skiing good Lucas

[@bob15479]

14:57 when you get your skis for free

[@josephcatania2681]

Big hits in Barry Barry steep!

[@leviwarr4490]

You were flying off rocks today! Gad chutes looked amazing! That hit after great Scott is called goalpost jump cus the 2 trees look like a goalpost! You flew off it!

[@LucasCatania17]

ah good to know - thanks levi!

[@a_justin]

Loved the cinematic ending!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks bro!

[@TheHostilTv]

That was indeed a huge hit on Great Scott! W Video keep up the good work man!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you man!

[@josephcatania2681]

Even your snowbird vid doesn't disappoint...

[@brandonbizier8854]

Were you on first tram this day? If so, we shared a tram ride. Had one of the best run of my life this day. Field of dreams baby. Top to bottom powder.

[@Localmax25]

19:19 sec was a little big threw you up there!! Yewww stuck through it like a boss. #Stokesquad

[@LucasCatania17]

ya bigger than expected!

[@Localmax25]

@@LucasCatania17 Epic line, in the video I was even like woooowahh 😂🤣 good stuff be safe and keep ripping dawg 🤙🏼

[@anthonybclimbin]

The only bad days I had at the bird was 2 years ago when it hadnt snowed in 7 weeks in February. The stuff off the cirque was a death trap with bullet proof ice. Some guy slid off a cliff and fell 80 feet, broke both legs. It was gnarly.

[@mosesmandzyuk7292]

lucas casually going from ski boot all day to snowboard boots to dig his van out

[@patchcuratolo5201]

A blessing of a video you know it I know it we all know it

[@LucasCatania17]

haha wouldnt go that far but thank you!

[@PuiWaiWu]

I went there the same day. Lots of great powder all day long. First time skiing Utah.

[@LucasCatania17]

nice!!

[@brianbasconi]

Ripping!

[@illusion1user]

Some amazing skiing. 👏👏👏

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

[@Colby.bankss]

Yeah dude! Looks epic

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dude!

[@lucasbishop3125]

sick skiing dude!!

[@LucasCatania17]

appreciate that man!

[@holker_]

Were you at Sundance today? (Monday the 22nd) I swear I saw your fancy van leaving just as I was getting there lmao

[@davidhudson7400]

Lovely vid again Lucas! So jealous that you’re still skiiing haha no skiing in the UK. Have you ever tried ZipFits before?

[@LucasCatania17]

i have not but heard good things! other than the price haha

[@journeywithstu7199]

22:37 you like those two trees. You split them a couple videos back.

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah! soon they will be covered in snow haha

[@darinsmith2458]

i love the ski lockers.. do you like wider or narrower skis when there is crud underneath? it did look like your skis washed out a few times..

[@LucasCatania17]

wide

[@ziggerott]

Be careful 😮

[@LucasCatania17]

Always!

[@choisam20]

14:57 that was scary. Mid air stuff. It requires a leap of faith.

[@LucasCatania17]

just gotta commit and its not bad!

[@Qver-gd9bg]

Thankfully snowbird has gotten a good base so at least there is less worry about sharks in the landing now

[@mototodd]

Bottom dropped out of that one: Lost my stomach.

[@Terrific26]

how are the lift lines at Snowbird usually like?

[@SuperMaclab]

So cool. Ill be there for my first time in 2 weeks.. hope it's not as scary as it looks on video 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

haha theres definitely some more mellow runs to explore!

[@Pig3onvr]

The bird is the best 1:33

[@marky1081]

I was at the bird on Thursday too, didn’t see you unfortunately

[@LucasCatania17]

ah bummer my friend!

[@a_justin]

Love to see the love from Summit Co.!! #skicolorado

[@LucasCatania17]

haha yes!!

[@mountainaquatic245]

Coming out to kirkwood this year?

[@LucasCatania17]

not looking like it at the moment!

[@paulmignini]

Thanks!

[@LucasCatania17]

yoo thanks so much paul!!

[@shoal007]

That jump was huge.

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha! Caught me by surprise

[@NSMO647]

must be making some good money to be getting accomodations like that

[@LucasCatania17]

Snowbird provided a complimentary room if that wasn’t clear from the video..

[@lilseatbelt4539]

Hey man, just wanted your thoughts on the bent 100s?? How come you don't own any bents?

[@LucasCatania17]

how come you dont own any armadas?

[@leonardbertaux6897]

Cliff Lodge? Man you’re staying in high style dude!

[@LucasCatania17]

ya super sick that snowbird hooked it up!

[@ziggerott]

Ty vm so pretty wish I were there well on a blue

[@LucasCatania17]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@MarkusDynamic]

Hey Lucas, so i just got myself a pair of ARV 106s, the same that you have and while it is an incredible ski i struggle a bit on icy/less loose snowy conditions, i feel like that the just doesnt grab the edge too well and i'm just sliding, even after an edge prep. Do you have any tips?

[@LucasCatania17]

i dont necessarily have any tips. for hard pack conditions like you're describing, a 106 is often too wide of a ski to get any effective edge pressure. in those conditions, you would be better suited with a more narrow ski with more camber under the foot.

[@MarkusDynamic]

@@LucasCatania17 thanks, at least i got a confirmation that it is not just in my lack of skill haha. I’m thinking of getting 96 underfoot or even 90s for some more onpiste action

[@cnnr6981]

Hey Lucas Im going to park city in febuary do you have any runs that you would recomend?

[@LucasCatania17]

What type of skiing are you looking for?

[@mr2fyre]

Let’s go!

[@LucasCatania17]

yeww

[@rainmaker3700]

Who does Tara ski with while you are out shredding?

[@LucasCatania17]

She skis solo!

[@JoeMAMA-wg1bq]

Mach Schnell 😂

[@a_justin]

14:29 WOMP

[@LucasCatania17]

dont think many people caught that. took my breath away for a sec.

[@a_justin]

I'm glad it was small enough to be mis-able, especially considering your exposure at that moment. Great SEND right after that, btw!! F THE HATERS. You rip dawg!
