[@LucasCatania17]

hahah dude i loved the joe cam. gonna be a great new addition to the videos

[@bobfdowd]

This is the first video of the season where you have been "Joyous!" You and your dad, make the same expressions of pure joy, centered in the moment, nothing else. Best Video Yet!

[@LucasCatania17]

thats a good point, bob. maybe it was simply the fact i was out there with my dad - but man that snow was good!!

[@captainronpants]

There is a vibe when Papa Joe is on the channel. Good stuff!

[@LucasCatania17]

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha thanks jack! Best snow on earth

[@sidmasih6998]

Huge props to ski patrol for getting honestly anything open that day. The deep upside-down (heavier on the top, light on the bottom) windswept snow looked really gnarly avy wise.

[@LucasCatania17]

agree

[@danbsmith]

So much fun! Love having cameras on both of you guys! Going to be an awesome season!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Dan! I’m looking forward to it.

[@brianstecklermusic]

Epic one. I'm not quite Joe's age yet... I'm 10 years behind, but dang I'd be DYING after doing what he did. You da man Joe!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha he was hurting a little from his head cam stuff but totally crushed it..

[@a_justin]

Pappa Joe's stoke at 2:39 has me rolling!! LET'S GO!!!!

[@a_justin]

[@a_justin]

[@a_justin]

Dude you did a great job. Those Collins laps are it when they're there. 🔥 🔥

[@AageSatake]

This is hopefully me and my son skiing in about 21 days, where he is doing a season in The alps of Austria. Seeing you Lucas with papa Joe makes me dreaming of the same bond with my gold on and off piste. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@LucasCatania17]

You got it. Stoked for you to ski with your son!

[@Ryan..C]

Welcome back papa joe !!! You guys are truly living life !! Sick !!!!

[@Ryan..C]

Very true !! My son is 16 and I’m still out there on the mountain with him

[@kentonwilliams2439]

Yeah Joe! The man, The myth, The legend. 3am wheels up straight into first ski day of the season Alta pow day. What a savage 🤟🤙

[@LucasCatania17]

[@maxschaffner]

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!

[@LucasCatania17]

Fewer things are better than skiing with your old man, looks awesome!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Amen to that!

[@MichaelRubinton]

Joes such an inspiration man. Day one Alta pow day in the trees. Earning the rocking chair!

[@LucasCatania17]

Absolutely man! Didn’t say he was gonna sit in it!!

[@daviddreyfuss1529]

Love the video! My dad introduced me to skiing with a pair of $14 wooden skis back in’66 and I intro’d my boys to skiing in ‘96. We’re Alta-Holics. Hopefully they’ll have a chance to take their kids skiing one day. ❤

[@LucasCatania17]

Love that man. Congrats on skiing with your boys

[@robertodiaz3359]

Hell yeah! The moon patrol suit🙌🏽🥷🏼

[@LucasCatania17]

[@danmcneil2940]

Had my first ever pow day at Alta last year and haven't stopped thinking about it since.

[@LucasCatania17]

thats what alta will do to ya!

[@a_justin]

Does it ever stop??!! I don't think it does. 😂😂

[@sachakmp]

Love to see you skiing with your dad man! Reminds me a lot of my relationship with my dad. We gotta remember not to take it for granted and enjoy the time we have with them! I also love to see the difference in how Joe skis his line vs how you ski yours!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha it is rad man! a lot of times, i dont know what hes doing when hes skiing, so now i have a camera on him at all times!

[@MrArredondoandrew]

Lucas great video. I love the Papa Joe content…..change nothing. Just got my stoke squad sweatshirt in. Can’t wait to rock it soon!!

[@LucasCatania17]

[@LucasCatania17]

[@AdventuresofCalChando]

Thx for posting excellent ski content! This old guy gets to live vicariously through your adventures and remember the old days when I went skiing that one time in 1993 and wiped out 1k times 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

glad you like it! thanks for watching!

[@AdventuresofCalChando]

[@LucasCatania17]

[@tl6145]

White ribbon of death w dirt on the side...lol love it. Im about to go get all up in some of that this wknd east coast style.

[@LucasCatania17]

[@davidmarshall2297]

Great footage boys! I bet Joe went straight from his water skis back east into the pow!

[@LucasCatania17]

Hahah yup exactly !

[@jasonfulleradventures]

Joe was amped up!!! Great day great video man

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Jason! Appreciate you taking time to watch!

[@Knowassociates]

Incredible. Joe, massive respect! 1st day on blacks all day in the trees off a cross country flight. Wow, man... Inspiring

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah man! i guess i didnt think about it too much but there was pow to be skied!

[@BigGrizz61]

Alta is looking so epic. Can’t wait to get my powder skis set up and head there

[@LucasCatania17]

nice man!! alta is next level stuff

[@justinbayola]

Dude the dual cam actions is 🔥🔥

[@LucasCatania17]

stoked for the new addition but it just about doubles the edit time haha

[@joshbeckett9385]

No Way!!! You were at Alta Monday too!

[@LucasCatania17]

crazy man!

[@andrewmahoney5099]

Joe is hilarious in this one 🤣

[@LucasCatania17]

dude is too fired up!

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

I thought this episode was fun. It’s always a good time with papa Joe.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! glad you liked it

[@chazbickel4518]

" Better than a white ribbon of death with dirt on the sides "... Standing here in a puddle in the PNW I would agree with Joe on that one. Alta powder looks way better....

[@LucasCatania17]

hoping you guys get some snow that way soon..

[@RatthewMice]

Papa joe just a freak of nature per usual. Lucas rocking a new backpack???

[@LucasCatania17]

hahaha love it. and its not technically new, very old actually but my gopro one kind of broke so using this one until i get a replacement!

[@LilLefty27]

Papa Joe is a beast!

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha yes he is!

[@GetThisNick]

Skiing in Utah looks beautiful. Have a trip planned with the girlfriend to go to telluride in Colorado in March. It’ll be my first time skiing out west. Super excited to experience it

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice man! Telluride is such a great ski town. Enjoy.

[@qlofi7701]

I love that snowbird isnt opening so you have to go to alta😂 this is awesome (also i just bought a “the vision” sticker is it ok for the non helmet stickers to go on a helmet or will they come off easy

[@LucasCatania17]

Ha! They should be good to use on a helmet! I just always recommend using heat to apply them so they stick well!

[@markvaldez8602]

papa joe is a beast!

[@LucasCatania17]

indeed he is!

[@carsonskiing]

I'm heading up this saturday for my first day on the hill! Best video of the season so far imo! love papa joes energy. Also, how are you almost at 60k?! It seems like you were at 40k a month ago!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Carson! Haha we were at 50k almost two months ago 😬

[@reginay7729]

I can eat up all this Alta ski content all day everyday! Let’s goooo. One can only dream such a FDOH. What a tiring but epic first day for Papa Joe…maybe he could’ve used some diamox before coming in. Should’ve taken Joe to Alta Lodge for a break…owner & and fam are from NY and operate it. Quite a few docs stay there to ski Alta and even got cartoons w doctor jokes on their message board LOL

[@LucasCatania17]

Oh I didn’t know that! Gonna have to check that out then. Joe and I are making a promise to do more Alta days this year

[@garrettteague2314]

Love it Lucas! ❤❤

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

[@ssylvester82]

I have watched so many of your videos (and just became a subscriber). What I have always wondered is what you are skiing on there packed powder or was it powder? I am still not super confident skiing in powder. What advice would you give to someone who wants to get better at skiing powder?

[@dylanhammonds5270]

papa Joe is insane first day in pow is hard on legs that’s impressive!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes! Especially wet pow!

[@ClamDickson]

Lucas trying to burn those Alta days so he HAS to ski snowbird all year!

[@LucasCatania17]

hahah ope

[@Preston_skis]

More papa Joe footage!

[@LucasCatania17]

I’m on it!

[@a_justin]

14:14 Ultimately, you can always get back. But, the further west thay you bottom out, the longer your walk out is.

[@LucasCatania17]

Gotcha. Thanks for the Alta guide !

[@Coconautify]

Poor Joe.... I can almost feel his fatigue on that Wildcat lap trough the trees.... I have some sympathy since I have old man's bones too!

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha! Yeah. That was a tough one looking back on the footage

[@darinsmith2458]
