Deer Valley's NEWEST CHAIRLIFT and TERRAIN! - Keetley Express

[@LucasCatania17]

Really excited for the future of Deer Valley resort with their Expanded Excellence initiative. Each year will get better and better. Ski the difference!

[@douglasslifkin4924]

You’re sponsored by Deer Valley right…after the park city debacle they should pick up even more market share

[@superfire1725]

on a real note the deer valley vids are the best

[@vashusan1984]

@@LucasCatania17 I was pleased when the DV stepped in when the Mayflower Resort idea collapsed. Gonna be good to have all that other terrain to spread people out.

Thanks man. Maybe a few years ago but not anymore. We’ll be lucky to hit 80k!

Thanks Lucas!! Been looking for new content from East Village. We’re taking our daughter here in a week..her first trip to the mountains!! Stoked

[@louisolberding5245]

Great video Lucas. Thanks for the tour of the new areas. That mogul run wore my quads out just watching it🤣⛷️

[@kirkwheeler5442]

Lived in Salt Lake 2000-2003. Had season pass at Dear Valley. We would park on the Jordenel side. It had a gondola and parking for maybe 50 cars. Was so private. Such fond memories. Also skiing when the 2002 Olympics were happening was cool as only season pass had access to the mtn during events. Also some days after skiing afew hours would hit the Provo river and fly fish on the way back home.

Lucas in what world are 106mm underfoot skis 'skinny' and 'race skis'😭

[@samlenz8300]

Fr😂

[@LucasCatania17]

Just seeing whose actually listening to what I’m saying

[@Skiptoomyl0u]

I rolled my eyes during the race skis comment lmao. You got me good.

[@vashusan1984]

@teoevgeniev1224 106 is my daily, ha ha ha. Definitely not my skinniest ski.

[@ski4Life-m3x]

Yeah I’m from the East. Still Growing so I only have one pair of Skis, but I wanted to try wider so I got 90mm under foot. My old Skis weren’t even the skinniest in the family and they were 75s 🤣

[@jacksultan8146]

The coolest part is that you looks like you have a place to yourself like exclusive no crowd Love it

[@alainbrouillaud484]

Good bump skiing Lucas! When it comes to lift infrastructure many European resorts have installed these new heated 8 pac lifts many years ago. Austria leads the way when it comes to high speed / tech comfortable lifts. Mürren (Switzerland) has installed two new trams with the third tram which will operate starting March 2025. Enjoy the Keetley… enjoy the expansion 😊⛷

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Alain! Good to know about the lift system in Europe. Hope to check it out someday.

[@SimpleTimesYT]

Super dope! Thanks for checking it out! Been meaning to head over and try the new stuff.

Thank you so much for doing this video! Lot of great information for me to plan my trip to Deer Valley.

[@jerrystarcer1471]

Phenomenal video! Thanks for showing us around and giving us a taste of what's to come. Only guys I know that calls his 106's his skinny skis then goes ripping though a mogal field. That bubble chair looks insane!

[@paulweiland1948]

Just skied there today! Super cool seeing the beginning of the expansion

[@stevezun]

Taos opening up new terrain and major upgrades in coming years too.

[@GarrettJohansen]

Love the beginning of your videos, they add a lot to the whole thing!

[@jacksultan8146]

WOW huge expansion Deer Valley

[@jaymontgomery3330]

Thanks for the introduction, excited for whats to come!

Yes! Will only get better!

[@tresterdyke596]

Just skied all that new terrain, it was cool but not much open yet. Can't wait for it to start dumping so we can watch you rip!

[@Skiing_mason]

Wow this will be a great video to watch with my friends

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Stoked for this video and the new terrain!

[@craigiannucci9914]

The Chair is too fancy😂

[@vashusan1984]

Agree with him, reminds me of Ramcharger and Swift Current 6 at Big Sky. The new Maddison 8 I'm sure is the same.

[@LucasCatania17]

It’s super nice!

[@djayphenix]

bro the fact that tycoon is bumped out consistently nowadays is wild. as a kid that was the best run because it was always nice and flat

[@FeliksH_Ski]

Nice video. I would love to see you back at Alpine Meadows.

[@Acehen3]

You need to head out to telluride again they have been getting good snow recently. I would love another video from there when they have good snow 😂

[@taylorjensen588]

I went up there and did the final cleaning inside the top terminal of that lift. It's really cool to see how those parts fit together. It's really fascinating stuff.

[@LucasCatania17]

I could only imagine. Thanks for your hard work in allowing this to open!

[@taylorjensen588]

@LucasCatania17 you're welcome, it's normally not what I do, I work in the office, but they needed help and I wanted to see these on the inside. I'm glad to see so many people enjoying our hard work. Now if we can get the Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola sorted out that would be the one I'll show my grandkids when I get that old.

[@Beck19376]

Heck yeah I got first tracks into Daly bowl it was so fun

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice man - that’s awesome!

[@daveliu-jm6oy]

8:12 surprised you didnt take your race ski's ice skating down the 'groomer' on Overlooked.... lol

[@samsappleton8381]

Never heard anyone describe ARV 106's as race sticks. Cracks me up.

[@johnklaus9111]

I know right. Amazing being at a West Coast chair lift and not thinking it's from the 1950s or before... (bunch of undeserving rich inheritors of great terrain) On the East Coast, most mountains have a bubble chair six back or better. Snowmaking on the East Coast is better too. What an amazing expansion.

[@jacksultan8146]

By the way great work on the video really enjoyed it

[@brettbrocoff6955]

The Tycoon bump field is no joke right now. Well done

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah man! Top to bottom bumps!

[@parker_drummer8647]

As someone who skiis 4 days a week and is from central Minnesota seeing what is out west is fascinating. 106’s are practically uboats around here. Hell I have people comment how my 90’s are wide😂

My brother and I skied deer valley like 25 years ago at least it was amazing then I can imagine now

[@horwath2005]

Great video. You took a lot of time to introduce us to this incredible expansion by Deer Valley. Glad that they’re treating you right. Also, loved the comments on 106mm being skinny. Had a good laugh at that one. Just curious; what snow boots were you wearing in the intro. Those look nice.

[@LeeMintz]

Calling 106s racing skis sent me 😂 Making me reevaluate how i feel about my 108s and 114s being "wide" Ty for this vid! Its a pleasure to see some of the new terrain before making my next trip out there!

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Man that was a looooong mogul run ! 😮😅

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha for real! And that’s with some bits cut out!

[@michaellebow]

What's it like getting to/from the chairlifts to the Grand Hyatt hotel with the current construction?

[@CarvingTracks]

12:25 I’ve rode the orange bubble a few times which is similar to this lift and I just put my poles behind me or on the seat next to me and since there is no gap in the back they don’t fall out. Only problem is when you have a full lift.

[@Coasterpostalt]

Just came to say the same! Either behind or in front, but only when I'm with a group that's ok with it.

[@user-uv2kj7rc4q]

the new chairlifts are really cool but I feel like it's a little much having the shield thing come down. I hope some of the old chairlifts stick around because it's also nice to ride a chairlift exposed on the mountain where you can feel all the elements of nature. Also if snow gets on the bubble it'll make it hard to see the scenery from the lift

[@ccpmarch1980]

Dv know what’s up! Great introduction Lucas! Looks like you got a few bites on the “skinny ski” comment. 😂🤙

[@LucasCatania17]

Ha yeah! Always gets a few people

[@sawyerabington9584]

Great video as always Lucas! I’m curious about the concerns that some people are having about lesser snowfall in the expanded terrain versus old DV. Did you notice any differences going from the old terrain to the new terrain?

[@vashusan1984]

Haven't ridden Sultan yet this year, second favorite lift after Empire up there. Not sure if it's all the squats yesterday, but watching you on Tycoon was feeling it myself. Putting in some WORK.

[@LucasCatania17]

Sultan is a great chair! Definitely overshadowed by empire, lady Morgan etc

[@davidbeazer9799]

9:10 skiing way too fast and dangerous in this part! 😂 kidding!

Hey they named a road after me Sultan... 😆

[@deathrooster14]

My mountain got the same bubble lift last season, its soooooo comfy, but it only covers like 600ft vert xD

I’m watching this first thing in the morning

[@speedyboi2576]

Deer Valley just does it right

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah I agree! Never a bad experience at deer valley.

[@SkiCounseler]

That lift was similar to the new Madison 8 at Big Sky. The Madison lift has the bubble, heated seats, back massager, and music video. (just kidding about that last part but probably not too far off.)

[@scottaiken210]

What a view.....almost better than Tahoe?

[@Coconautify]

Thanks for another great edition Lucas, just curious though, what condition would you normally use the 106 size in? Josh Daiek (yes I know he is a freak) uses (or did use) the QST 106 skis for the majority of his backcountry stuff, but I'm wondering for you where does this ski width work best?

[@shawneggers4484]

Looking to possibly invest in a condo/townhome out there and was trying to capitalize on breaking ground early pricing. I’m leaning towards something at Snowbasin or that East village area of DV. Always told myself once Snowbasin broke the ice and started building up there I would take advantage but now DV is doing this project…..

[@Bingwadc]

Nice!

Great video once again. I've been to Deer Valley twice from the East Coast. Each time was a first class experience, no complaints. What are the boot warmers you use? Got new boots this year and they're noticeably colder than my last pair
