How To Layer For Skiing

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks to Mountain Hardwear for sponsoring today's video! You can check out all of their gear here: shorturl.at/DshhE. Stoked to try out this gear in a proper storm! Hope you learned something about layering!

[@aljacobs3922]

Oh hell yeah!! Mountain Hardwear sponsorship. Love their gear.

[@LucasCatania17]

glad to hear that man!

[@ADHski]

Another awesome opportunity for you and the Stoke Squad! That's awesome man, will have to check out some of their gear for next season

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks brother! heal up and get back out there.

[@ADHski]

Thanks brother!! ​@@LucasCatania17

[@Markforever47]

Great video! Can you make a video on how you prepare your body and what you eat before and during skiing?

[@LucasCatania17]

i could think about something maybe but i dont really do anything to prepare my body for skiing. its a lifelong, year round pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.

[@Markforever47]

@ aha. You do any pre ski stretching?

[@AJ_Owens]

As always great job

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks aj!

Mountain Hardwear makes nice stuff. I have those exact same bibs but in black. They are incredible, especially for people who generally run warm. I wear mine with only a base layer underneath because I get hot quickly. Most bibs, even shells, just have too much material for me. These bibs feel like you are wearing nothing, but they keep you warm and dry. They are not cheap, but they are worth every penny.

[@benfowler9265]

Congrats! You deserve it!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks ben!

[@JabroniJimmy]

That gym membership has been working 💪

[@CrimpKeeper]

You’re the fucking man brah 🤙🏼 Idk how you don’t have more subscribers. Van-builder: check Shreds the gnar on the mountains: check Races Bimmers and wins: check If you added surfing, my god you’d be the GOAT 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

I appreciate that man! I have what I deserve. Thanks for the support over the years!

[@kailixlife]

Was looking into getting a new ski jacket and mountain hardware was a brand I was looking at!!! I’d love an updated video of seeing how it performs!

[@LucasCatania17]

definitely! there will be more to come on this set after I use it more!

[@shawneggers4484]

More free swag! Awesome Lucas!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha thanks shawn!

[@SamuelCrockford]

So happy for u dude, I just picked up the armada touring bibs so I'm hyped. Will you purely be rocking mountain hardware now? they look sick.

[@oskar.lighthiser]

Hell yes! 🔥

[@GwendolynWeiland]

Should be an epic pow day soon in Utah soonish. i'm gonna fly there from California for the epic snowbird snow!

[@LucasCatania17]

its been good the past few days, but high winds and warm temperatures have really elevated avalanche danger.

[@GwendolynWeiland]

@@LucasCatania17 oh dose the patrol do avalanche control like in tahoe?

[@itsssonlybenhere]

PLEASE COME TO SUN VALLEY THIS SEASON!

[@shredcavemedia3764]

Lucas you sponsored by these guys now bro? Rock on!! Skiing requires proper gear - some people just wing it and end up cold and sad ... lolol

[@LucasCatania17]

totally true man! i'm not sponsored by them, no. they are just sponsoring a few videos with their gear!

[@Sawtorn2]

How do you feel about the strike at park city?

[@sammcdaniel1564]

Also nice kit!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dude!

[@trevdorand]

Mountain hard wear FTW🏔️🎉

[@LucasCatania17]

heck yeah brother!

[@shredcavemedia3764]

polypropelene base layers for the win :)

[@LucasCatania17]

love it

[@ccpmarch1980]

I need a new bib, and there is actually a Nz website and the prices are pretty reasonable. Look forward to seeing how you like them.

[@LucasCatania17]

likewise brother!

[@flennboyd6413]

Which Salomon skis are those? Looks like a new addition to the quiver...

[@LucasCatania17]

those are QST 106's. those were my sisters who was visiting for christmas!

[@flennboyd6413]

@ thanks Lucas!

[@Cdowg]

You’ve gotta go hit up basin they are getting dumped with snow and the trees are nice right now

[@LucasCatania17]

Everyone getting dumped on in Utah brother

[@chadcore5000]

Does this mean there’s gonna be more backcountry content??

[@LucasCatania17]

no there wont be any backcountry content outside of heli skiing!

[@sammcdaniel1564]

Another layering tip: wear a backpack so you can put your mid layer in it if you get too hot or take it out if you get too cold. I’m not always good at nailing it at the car.

[@LucasCatania17]

great tip!!

[@Skiing_mason]

Noted im going to aspen😂

[@LucasCatania17]

nice have fun dude!

[@mosesmandzyuk7292]

Does that mean you won't be using the Armada gear anymore?

[@LucasCatania17]

no! theres no exclusivity or anything like that. im free to use what i want!

[@vhalmrast]

Are you sponsored this season by them?

[@LucasCatania17]

no! theyre just sponsoring a few videos this year.

[@Newjerseydevil950003]

I only wear a baselayer and a ski coat for probably 90% or more of my ski days and I'm perfectly fine/warm. Anyone else do this? Only time I'm adding a mid-layer (i.e. 3 layers total) is if it's extremely cold.

[@LucasCatania17]

everyone is different! a baselayer and a shell jacket wouldn't keep me warm as a baselayer isn't designed to retain body heat and a shell jacket has no insulative properties.

[@Wardenlw]

Hey man, long time viewer here. I have to say, i am sad to see how this channel is changing. Back in the day, with the daily videos of adventuring across the country, reporting on so many cool different resorts via Luna, now we are shooting ads on how to dress yourself. I know things have changed with your current life situation, but I think the essence of what made this channel so special is starting to fade away. I hope I am wrong. Best wishes.

[@LucasCatania17]

you arent wrong. in reality, i dont want to create a career off living in walmart parking lots in a van. it doesn't pay enough money to enjoy the other things i like doing and traveling for me in a van is more stressful than it is fun. uploading daily videos from a 2wd van chasing snow isn't sustainable, in my opinion. i dont blame you for wanting to see that content, but as the one making it, it isn't realistic - just to have my channel go to 0 when march/april rolls around. sponsors are a huge way to earn revenue in this industry. i would hope that long time viewers are happy that I have been able to grow this channel to a place where I can monetize it with brands such as Mountain Hardwear, but I understand your frustration. i've created hundreds and hundreds of videos for free, with no sponsors at my own expense. have a good season.

[@Wardenlw]

@ yeah that makes sense and I am happy for you, truly. I guess just sad that things have changed. But everything you say makes sense. I will adapt to the changes and continue to support!

[@jacksultan8146]

If you want to be a player you must layer....

[@LucasCatania17]

haha true that!
