I hope everyone realizes how dangerous these runs are and what a legend lucas is. I skied with lucas at solitude and saw it first hand. Most people wouldn’t even think of trying to do Alf’s high rustler at any time if placed at the top… let alone with low base depth! Not only does he do these crazy runs, he cruises. You’re my favorite buddy…. Everyone else please think before you try any of these runs, Lucas makes them look simple, I assure you they are not!

Very good point mark!! Not sure if I need a disclaimer or anything but these are definitely not runs to try if you are not experienced with this type of terrain. Skiing is very dangerous and these runs especially you can get seriously hurt if you aren’t careful!!

@@LucasCatania17 Great points for sure! High Rustler can be hard to navigate on those traverses! Going around the bend brings you in a little lower but less rocky...and I've never been up there with thin cover (usually there later in season...making the entry a lot nicer!). Great stuff...looks amazing for so early in the season!!

My very first time at Alta, a "friend" took me to Alf's as my first run...of the season. (I'm a lifelong East Coast guy that had mostly skied in Pennsylvania at that point.) Survived it but it definitely is not easy.

Spamming you here too just in case you see it: I feel like I saw you on the lift on Supreme on Sunday (12.4.22). Were you the one who hit the right side of Supreme's Divingboard? Whoever got that for the first time of the season (to my knowledge) hit it so perfectly. Like in the only spot you could actually land it with the way the snow was. Money! Edit: I just would love to see the footage, it's so big right now... and it was stomped. Love your videos man. Just don't make Alta ones lol ( but 60% dead serious haha) Totally understand that's a selfish comment on the last line, but the vibe there mustn't change for real. It's so good. I feel like the bird feels so much more competitive, and it didn't feel that way 10 years ago before they got more commercialized.

Lucas, skied Alta about 20 years ago when I was 58 two weeks before Christmas, it was about 30% open when we arrived. On the 2nd day we experienced a Rocky Mt snowstorm and they received 40 inches, us easterners skied during the storm, it was epic, the locals waited til the next day, watching the powder horns race for 1st tracks the next morning was very entertaining, luv your videos, still skiing at 78!

Back in 04 my daughter, 11 at the time, and I were going up the tram at Jackson Hole. I showed her Corbet’s Couloir and asked if she wanted to ski it, she balked and made a comment assessing my mental health. I never took it off the bucket list and after seeing the 63 year old at the bottom of the chute in Alta it revived the stoke! Thanks!!

LUCAS, just to help you out, that first run is Gunsight, Eddies is the first notch form the High Traverse you will see, a more direct bootback to the top, while Gunsight is that path of snow you followed!! I've been skiing at Alta for YEARS now, and I truly think its one of the best resorts in the world. I hope you go multiple times this year because there's so many cool little areas and chutes and of course traverses! Thanks Dude!

Ahhh..you included a nice glimpse of filthy inversion air in the Salt Lake Valley! Kudos to you for dropping into the chutes on what we would consider thin cover (15 yr Alta passholder). Also for barely breathing hard. I'd certainly be panting like a dog, particularly after the long booting! A heads up to those pondering Alta for the first time. What you're looking at him skiing is labelled as a single black diamond at Alta. Alta doesn't rate double blacks or anything resembling that. Their greens are blues if you're used to skiing the big, wide groomers at places like Vail, Aspen, Tahoe, Deer Valley, Park City, etc. Some of the blues will be a black to you, and the blacks could encompass just about anything else. Giant moguls (with no snowboard lines ;) ), cliff drops, tight tree runs with long traverses and maybe booting...just a black. I released out of one of my skis in the chutes last year with no one up behind me. It took a half an hour crawling up on my belly, kicking one boot in at a time and using my poles with my hands right above the baskets to stab in to inch back up and get my ski that wedged into a small tree/bush after it ran away. You need to know that when comparing to places you may have already been. It's a rough place for less than intermediate skiers, particularly right now with Sunnyside out for an undetermined time. Parking reservations begin Dec 16th. Carpool or ride the bus. p.s. the tow line destroys gloves.

At least we went right to the Peruvian and had the first brew of the trip. Cheers.

Skied High Rustler when I was there last spring, and you made that entrance look pretty easy! It was pretty tricky even late season. I had a local show me Cathrine's Area too... got a few really fun runs over there. And your run down Main Chute was beautiful. One of the things I'd never experienced was the amount of hiking/traversing Alta asks of you to get to the really fun stuff. I came to enjoy the pace and sense of adventure of a little extra work. That said, that hike up to Main Chute is a little above my pay grade for now. HA!

Main chute and Baldy's are what I remember from Alta as the highlights been its been over a decade since I skied there. Going up to Wymoning and Montana this season but I think Utah will happen next year. Also, November Main chute is hella early, I don't remember ever hitting it that soon, I do remember skiing there on Christmas Eve then going to either Brighton or Cherry Peak for night skiing- we usually did Brighton by clipping passes back in those days but I think that day was Cherry Peak, hit a buried log and flew headfirst over a cat-track, definitely top 5 scariest fall.

I love your vids, and please keep your content coming! I just wish you’d sort out your lazy uphill (ski coming out of parallel) when you are skiing some of the firmer stuff, I had the same issue for years, but I’ve sorted it out with lessons and it’s transformed my skiing, maybe do a video on a private lesson?? Could be good content?

New sub, I guess you could say new to the love of skiing. I did ski in 2009 when I was in the 4th grade and picked it up super fast but I'm 24 now and I guess life just went off into offshore work. Looking to get back into skiing.

Had my first pass at Alta in 1972 and graduated from the UofU in 1973. Skied High Rustler and chutes many times. Believe me when I say that the conditions pictured are NOT right for a fun run. Hard snow, scraping rocks, ugh...wait until December and then get after it. Nice video though.

I rode this for the first time a couple weeks ago. I got 95% of the way down and was feeling good, only to eat it on basically the last turn before exiting the chute. The snow was giving on every turn right until the last one.
