skiing the HEADWATERS at BIG SKY! | vanlife montana

Wow at 61 he crushed that. Luv his first words after, “wow that was stupid” stupid awesome!!! Well done. Was looking forward to this episode, luv seeing a Mt that has serious challenge. Visited earlier in year, my new fave Mt.

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha yes he crushed it indeed! It was so stupid we went up and did it again!!

@@LucasCatania17 You might be a bad influence for your dad :)

[@maddmadison]

I am a local, and I have hiked the Headwaters many a time, but I always backpack carry my skis. Watching you guys carry them gave it an entirely different perspective. Made it look a lot scarier. I have also tripped going down into Hell's Roaring and my life flashed before my eyes, I was just praying I still had my skis and poles! Cool video!

[@LucasCatania17]

the tram WAS NOT open, so no - I did not ski big couloir or anything else up there! really incredible mountain and im so stoked i was able to share it with my dad who just turned 61!

Rock on Joe! 📢📢⛷💨 Thanks for sharing 🤘

Happy birthday to papa joe!

[@slck9404]

Hope you have avi gear, cuz when and if you go back, it would be a shame if you couldnt do it because you forgot avalanche gear.

[@woodge7863]

NOOOOOO thats a bummer that the tram was clossed that has some of the best snow hope you come back again

[@mattski85]

That hike looked insane. Could hear your dad say “I’m just trying to survive it.” That looked like some of the steepest inbounds terrain. I’ve done some gnarly hikes where you just say to yourself, “don’t drop a fucking ski here!” Just watching that got my heart racing. Sick video!!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks matthew! thats exactly what he said haha. he was pretty serious at that point! no room for error on those ones!

[@cdawg9149]

You can tell your dad has been skiing a while. Great technique that you learn with long 203 -205 older skis is my guess. The way the new skis allow dudes your age to rip it up like you do is so great . Im 66 and love the fact you and your dad rip. Also worked at Big Sky back in 78'. Had to hike to get to the a - z chutes. Lots of steep but you had to want it to get it. I think Big Sky is typically just north of the major snow belt that is just south from West yellowstone down to the Tetons. Jackson and Grand Targhee get very consistent big snow years while Big Sky is hit and miss. If you ever hit Big Sky in a big snow year it is amazing. Thx for the vid.

[@LucasCatania17]

definitely gonna go back on a big snow year!

[@scottaiken210]

Joe the Legend...Proof that the stoke never fades! Big Sky hardly disappoints and spent many a day doing turkey trotting! What a memory!

[@LucasCatania17]

exactly! stoke never goes away!!

[@alicekane3913]

EXCITING STUFF!!! I'm sure the tram is, indeed, 'something else,' Lucas, but you and your dad on those Headwaters Chutes were both exhilarating to watch. (LOVE how your dad has that "ski style" GRACE that was part of ski instruction 'back when.' Not to mention the guts to ski 3 Diamond chutes. BRAVO!) PS. The most "exciting incident" for my twin Lynn I traveling to Big Sky was when we were driving along that final long winding road that takes you to the resort. The sun was rapidly setting, and maybe I WAS a tad above Speed Limit in my anxiety to reach our hotel before dark, but we got stopped by a cop car. After he explained to us that we were somewhat above the speed level, I apologized and admitted that we were very uncomfortable driving up that narrow winding road in the dark, and that THAT probably contributed to our 'extra speed.' LUCKY FOR US, he empathized and did not give us a ticket. Just advised us to maintain the speed limit. WHEW!!!! We were headed to the Huntley Lodge and enjoyed our week at Big Sky, but wished we were proficient enuf to ski the "Big Girl/Boy" pistes! (Also enjoyed the cool town of Bozeman on scarce snow days.) 🤠 Thanks for such an enjoyable vlog! & ⛷Happy Birthday to your dad! 🚟⛷

[@LucasCatania17]

wow what a story! it sounds like you and your twin have had quite the life haha!

[@flyfishingwithbri5836]

Ya! Stoked you liked Big Sky, if you're ever back lets rip or if you're back in the summer we should fly fish. Conditions have been rough this year, but y'all absolutely ripped it. The Tram has been slide for life but finally had some refreshers so it's been skiing like a dream...not to rub it in or anything.

[@LucasCatania17]

definitely gotta make it back there next season.

[@sanelucid6942]

1. Great video quality! Offers some good scenes and lets us know what it really looks like! 2. Nice flash on Hell Roaring for a first decent! One caught edge and you were in the cheese grater for sure! 3. Got your skis crossed on Firehole! PUCKER! 4. I guess the triple black diamond isn't just an advertising scheme! 😅

[@jpickle4982]

Big Sky looked amazing, Happy Birthday Joe ! Glad you got to spend time with your dad, those are memories you will always cherish.

[@LucasCatania17]

exactly! such a good weekend to experience that with him!

[@coastersncreations1888]

My best recommendation for getting skis on on like really steep bad spots like that is just to lie down get the outside ski on first and then push the back of the ski to get it in for the inside ski

[@LucasCatania17]

good idea!

[@jginmt]

it is fun to see a video of my home mountain. When you walked around the rock it doesn't show how scary it is. It was really scary in the old day before they installed that rope to hold on to. It looks like you are there very early season. You have very strong legs. The video doesn't show how steep Hell Roaring is. I can't believe you hiked that without strapping your skies to a pack. Hopefully, you can come back and ski some other runs. North Summit field puts headwaters to shame. Unless you can afford a helicopter you can't beat it. Unfortunately, you visited Big Sky when we had the worst snow since the ski area opened I hope you come to visit us again.

[@cjsawinski]

Big sky was my home for about ten years, but that was about 15 years ago. I worked full time (except for powder days and hunting season) as a carpenter back in the Yellowstone Club (the private resort behind Bug Sky), and bartended and part time work on the mountain (to get a season pass). I spent my summers living out of my van on the river around Ennis, the Gallatin, and Yellowstone rivers while I worked, fished, and DH mountain bikes all of that country. 17-27 years old was the damn prime of my life lol, now I’m 40 and “stuck” in Minnesota :/… Love the vids (especially of Big Sky).

[@j1mmy69_]

Thank you for showing me parts of Big Sky ill never be good enough to ski myself. Love that mountain so much. I hope you enjoyed your time here

So awesome to see you ski with your dad. He ripped it. I still ski with my uncle (he is 74 and still one of the best skiers I know). At 52, I now get to enjoy trying to keep up with my 2 boys (17 and 14).

Your timing is just amazing this year. Right before I went to Utah/Brighton/Alta and Deer Valley you were there, I just got back from Jackson Hole 2 weeks ago and you were there, now I am heading out to Big Sky in 3 days and this video pops in?! Love it! I am 40 and your dad is a beast man. As someone older getting his prospective is super helpful because sometimes I see what and how you ski and I think "No way". The fact you dont have more subs is astonishing to me. Great content, great editing and too bad the season is coming to an end.

awesome man! perfect timing as i think they are going to get more snow too!! and i appreciate the kind words man! have fun up there!

[@scottoconnor811]

You have to come back. This was the worst early March conditions at Big Sky in the 17 years I've been skiing this mountain. I'm sure you saw the potential. Put North Summit Snowfield on your list, it one of the best parts of the mountain.

@@LucasCatania17 We managed to figure it out when it frees for you to assist it but were in complete panic until then. The second ride up we could hear the chair operators scream at the chair ahead of us to lift as it was approaching. I yelled at them while this was going on like somehow they should have known better and then explained that this happens to everyone on their first ride and they had my permission to do the same on their next ride to the next newb. I’m easily amused.

[@hans-peterklett8586]

My strategy for getting skis on in steeps: 1) dig the brake in, then support the front of the ski with a ski pole 2) cross feet to get the first ski on 3) repeat #1 without having to turn around

[@LucasCatania17]

sounds like a good strategy man!

[@wescot]

man you and your dad are such an inspiration. a few years ago I went to Keystone and one of my roommates was 74 years old. At first I didn't believe it but it was true. And he skied better than me. keep it up and stay safe.

You snaked the guy in all black on the narrows on hell roaring- lucky you didn’t collide when the run re-connected 😬

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah theyre were too many people on that run

[@aureliusbamf]

@@LucasCatania17 I see 1 ski patrol? And 2 others who entered the narrows before you? The rule in steep terrain is that you drop one at a time (rockfall - snow - ice - collision etc) especially on something like headwaters. Next time make sure to wait a min or two before dropping in, that was an accident waiting to happen. Cheers, glad you enjoyed big sky!

[@ynot0714]

Glad you finally made it up to my home mountain but apologies for it having the worst conditions I've seen in years. You did experience the most difficult "run" at Big Sky which is the Headwaters hike. Congratulations for not killing yourself. Even in good snow years, those chutes are narrow! Hope you return in a good snow year and really see what Montana skiing is all about.

[@cherrydrums]

Sheesh! This is my second time watching this video, this time shortly after coming back from my first days of this season - last monday and tuesday at the bird. Wow. That ski through of Hell Roaring was hair raising! I had fun on the thanks for the memories chute last week in Utah but it now looks tame by comparison! The last time I was at Big Sky it was before the Headwaters/Moonlight Basin was included in Big Sky's lift tickets. Snow looks great, but it is so committed - once you've dropped into the top, it doesnt seem like there would be any hike-outs to bail until you're out, committing you to multiple mandatory straightlining and serious speed through some narrow chokes. Cant wait to ski there in early March!
