[@carsontaylor3280]

Hey Lucas thank you for coming. i live here. sorry about the thin snow. hope you can come back.

[@LucasCatania17]

lets go! Telluride was way sicker than I thought it was going to be! its a legit mountain FOR SURE! Live stream is going down TONIGHT at 615MST because I am traveling tomorrow evening! Thank you all for 13k!!

Missed last week's 😭 there goes my streak LOL

I’ll be there!

Been fortunate enough to ski telluride twice and it is easily my favorite resort thus far. You have to get there when it’s all open, the steeps there are sick. Definitely a big boy mountain. Most importantly, grab some tacos at gnar tacos while you’re there.

thanks man! was definitely impressed with the terrain there! so sick!

[@tntsher]

GREAT video! I was lucky enough to call Telluride my ski home for a full month a few years ago so very familiar scenes. Luckily had a better snow year going that year. Being a Flatlander from Southern Illinois, I had to watch the elevation as well the first few days. Stayed in Ridgway which was lower elev. and MUCH cheaper! But loved my daily commute and skiing that fantastic mountain 28 out of 31 days. Both towns were awesome and felt like a local. Along with Jackson Hole, Telluride is my favorite area. FANTASTIC in the summer as well!! Looked like you might have found my favorite pizza as well...Brown Dog!!

We have crazy snow now. Sorry you missed the big storm.

[@LucasCatania17]

i heard - thats awesome man enjoy it!

[@mtadams2009]

You make great videos and I like that you ski the type of terrain that I ski as well. I am much older than you but have been a weekend warrior for decades. The part that amazes me is the distance you travel on any given weekend. Seven plus hours one way is an ass kicker. You're the hammer. I have always heard great things about Telluride except its low snow numbers. Its kept me away but I think I a good snow year I need to fly out. I am a east coaster. Again thanks your videos have shown me places I need to get to. I have a Ikon and Killington season pass so anything on Ikon is good. I will have to pay up to expand that. Take care

[@Pseudify]

Skied telluride about 13 years ago. My favorite by far!

@@LucasCatania17 Yeah they did! Loved watching you hike up to the Black iron bowl, those are some fun runs!

Ok, I have recently gone back and watched your van build, which I found both interesting and commendable, in design functionality, and finish. For a lay person (not trade qualified) you are right to be proud of the build. However, I have a question, which I could not see addressed, unless I missed it along the way. Q. What do you use as toilet? Do you have a portable chemical loo, or just side-of-the-road, and truck stop rest rooms? Asking the big questions here!

Outdoor dining spots on mtn def have Alps vibe at Telluride. It was good to see your footage to get a feel for how those spots look and ski…unfortunately haven’t gotten to any interesting runs due to all the refrozen/solid icy surfaces the warm temp during the day w freezing temp at night have been creating past few days. Hopefully the incoming snow today and Thursday will make things better. Agree that Telluride is up there w AltaSnowbird, Jackson Hole, (and Taos) but I think the fall line of Telluride and Snowbird are bit more wonky than Alta/JH/Taos…but will need to do more “research” w more ski trips 😬
