one hour on CHAIR 22 at MAMMOTH mountain

[@LucasCatania17]

so stoked to check this mountain out! planning on chair 23 and the hemlocks, but drop any other recs below!!

[@rmnley]

wow that trailer was sick enough to be a video in its own right

[@BreauxSegreto]

East Coast recommendation .. Send it! YEWWWW 😅🤘🦌🤘

[@reginay7729]

Dropout and Wipeout chutes on either side of Chair 23, Paranoid Flats and more extreme terrain past the Paranoid Flats (Philippe’s, etc.). Looks like the terrain (Dragons tail and Wazoo) next to Cloud Nine Express is open so that can be an option. High 5 and Face lifts can be good if upper mountain isn’t open.

[@skyyyraptor]

dave’s run to dragon’s back/tail for tree run!

[@williamstikeleather1284]

Gravy Chute under Chair 1 is a fun shot heading down to main lodge

[@justinbayola]

I feel pretty blessed to be able to wake up and have one of your adventures ready to go. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for keeping the stoke fire burning.

[@LucasCatania17]

It’s my duty sir. Thank you for watching.

[@TheIBROWman]

People underestimate just how hard it is to regularly produce content, not to mention probably being exhausted every day after a full day of skiing

[@chazbickel4518]

Lucas, That magic alpen glow before sunset is awesome, and it keeps getting better throughout the season. Being in the mountains is what it's all about. I would take a 1 hour day over a no ski day......any day.

[@LucasCatania17]

Absolutely I agree! Count it!

[@chriscochrane2769]

ha ha pretty much the only place i ever get to ski - kool seeing someone snow camping!

[@LucasCatania17]

Sick place man!

[@abekislevitz]

Nice dude! Welcome to mammoth! How long you up there??

[@LucasCatania17]

Yo thank you Abe!! Such a rad mountain. Don’t really have a plan too much but might rip back to Utah for the holidays!

[@Natespov]

Dude mammoth looks so sick🤘🏼 I have no idea how you make such a good video with just an hour of skiing it blows my mind 🤯

[@LucasCatania17]

I appreciate that man 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@davesalvisburg9569]

Opening day in south eastern Ontario Canada today!!! Just crawled home hurting all over and seeing you rip lines top to bottom in actual real snow!!! You are the man!!! Thank you for doing what you do.

[@LucasCatania17]

Let’s goo man congrats on opening day!

[@daver7013]

Wow, you got a lot in an hour. It’s pretty special when you can get the last lift of the day. I admire you for using the last hour to get some content as a pose to just blowing off the day as a travel day. Thanks for taking us along. Be safe.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks dave! Figured to make it worthwhile!

[@hollymasgras4802]

Mammoth is so amazing, I am so happy you had a great time. Mammoth takes incredible care of their snow and makes skiing incredible all season.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes it’s so great

[@MrDogonjon]

Mammoth is an awesome mountain. I loved the experience living and working there. I must exclude any comment about "Mammoth Culture" as it was a question on my supervisor interview. It took me many years to translate what that meant and once I learned I also learned to keep my mouth shut about it if I want a career in skiing. By retiring to Timberline my words rock the instruction industry. They are big words.from my big size 13 mouth.. Sad Finlay only comprehends four letter words but he fell hard failed my examiner exam .

thank you for the last run with the 360 out in front, my favorite view for sure, you did more in 54 minutes than most do in an afternoon

i like that view too haha although the most difficult to shoot

[@Senorsofthebeepbeeps]

I started watching you like 3 days ago and i love your videos,ive already wached 20 episodes i loved the sugar bowl video!

Mammoth is my favorite place to ski. Knew you had a video, just wanted to catch up on all the videos i missed first. That hour was intense!!! Respect 💪

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Emilio!

Great vid Lucas! I'm sure the adrenaline was flowing! We always use to try to make last chair to squeeze out every minute and many times got ushered off the mountain by ski patrol! Keep it up....enjoying the ride!

You are absolutely hardcore to the core My brother and I used to do those same things ski the laps at the end of the day no one around Best time of the day awesome video bro enjoyed every moment of it got me totally excited

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks brother!

[@BradfordMcEwenVARENNA]

Least crowded chair in Mammoth…however usually crappy snow after a short time cause it gets all cut up, and is in the shade most of the day. So, difficult conditions, and good skier who rotates a bit.

[@gobeyondtheedge]

Turning laps is what all skiers should aspire to. Really enjoyed your live commentary, felt like I was making the run with you. Ski fast...

[@mendellang8379]

Mammoth is my home mountain absolutely epic terrain out here. Id reccomend checking out gravy chute under broadway leads to this sickk pretty mellow cliff called potato rock that u can hit if thats ur thing. Off chair 23 id reccomend u hit paranoid chutes over to the left. If u want some heavy stuff id reccomend kiwi flats to Phillips but def don’t hit that alone and coverage may not be good enough there. Hangman off of the upper gondola is pretty sick too if ur up for that. Have fun stay safe!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you. Check out my recent videos skiing chair 23 and the hemlocks

thanks nico! 4k is legit!

[@VenturaIT]

At first I thought you meant you got stuck on the chair lift for an hour! ha ha glad you didn't... looks cool, I've never been there but I guess that's our home mountain in Ventura... they say it only takes 4 and 1/4 hours from Ventura. I will go one day but not sure why I haven't yet... looked good, the snow was really coming down there a week or two ago... keep up the great videos. Thanks for bringing the snow to us.

[@LucasCatania17]

the sickest mountain ive been to in california so far in my opinion!

Wasn't expecting that last lap with 3 minutes left! Surprised you fit so much in and STOKED for your next couple vids. I was in Mammoth just a couple months ago in the fall and can't wait to be back to ski.

one of the best videos of the season so far! What an amazing time you made out of one hour on the hill, I remember doing a similar thing last year and it was empty and beautiful.

There are some sweet hot springs to hang out, over by 22 or 12 there is a sweet ridge you can climb. It’s on the back side, hardly no one goes and its perfect in the afternoon. Or go hike the Sherwoods not apart of the mountains, it’s accessible by twin lakes.

Laps on 23 are great dropout and wipeout... paranoid flats is also a fav... Off the gondola is great... You can see into Yosemite valley from there on a clear day... Could the dragons back still hold pow in the trees? maybe... idk... Just stay out of the base areas on weekends and you'll be fine... Eat at mid mountain...

Fantastic video. Gotta get that last one in............. we've all been there. Question, how in the world do you shoot those videos where a camera is evidently 6-8 ft in front and above as you ski. That is a great technique. Never seen that before.

I have a Friend that was on the Ski Patrol at Mammoth. He lived in a VW van fore a while. 90 straight days with the Ski Boots on. He was young, good looking, and lots of energy. I don't think he skis any more. He went to work for the Railroad like his Dad and Me.

[@LucasCatania17]

Sweet thanks for sharing!

[@BlackSockJR]

Lucas another rec is off cloud nine express or chair 9. Good thing your going to chair 23 next vid bc the snow is great off it. Face lift and high five express are good options. Along with the outpost, the outpost is at the end of the Hemlocks. And don’t forget to take Dave’s run! Are you going to June mountain, if so it’s amazing literally no one is there and it has amazing snow.

Would be pretty cool if you made a “How to ski” video for all the people who watch your vids but don’t know all of the basics. It would prob get a lot of views from outside people not subscribed since your base will automatically give it 10k at least. Just an idea. Keep slaying though!
