What a day this was! Way to capture such a sick day of skiing while also still ripping. It was a pleasure skiing with y'all on such a deep day!

Although it was quick I’m glad I was able to catch you at the bird in that tram line. It was nice to see you there. Stay safe and healthy this season brotha.

[@jimmyjohns4609]

Awesome video! Thanks I'm worn out that's how much I'm in it, not been to Snowbird in thirty two years, but remember the runs. Well done!

[@Theduo1358]

LCC is by far the best place to ski in North America. Snow quality, terrain is unmatched. I've skied all over and there really isn't any comparison. Waiting for the next storm cycle and I'm going back out there. Northeast ski season is a joke with rain every week. I've had enough.

[@bigphilrut]

O' face... on point! Epic runs!

excellent!!! the bird really goes off when the base hits 100"

[@stevehori673]

Lucas you are totally stoked after that epic day of powder. Only the bird can do that!

That looks like an EPIC (no pun intended) POW day! FUN! Enjoying the music added to video as well. Awesome Day!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man!

[@feeziksgaming]

You make these runs look so easy! I hit the bird the first time ever and looked down some of these runs and could not understand how you do these so fast, while recording, AND talking to us! crazy skill!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks! the runs are always steeper than they look on camera!

[@res_ipsa-REX]

GAD2 was sick on 1/11/24. Was on the 20th or so chair up Gadzoom and headed straight for GAD2. The trees around S.T.H were amazing. Knee deep fresh powder. Hit the Cirque later in the day. A classic powder day at the Bird. I love that place.

[@LucasCatania17]

thats the way to do it

[@augustwest5273]

The mountain I call my home. Drooling right now but have my week booked for the spring with my kids. Your snowbird vids get me stoked. You also were at aspen and those mountains where I spent a full season, I couldn’t help watching those as well. Great shots and some amazing powder in this vid.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! enjoy the week with the kiddos.

[@mr2fyre]

From this day forward we will call you snowbeard. I also skied 2 feet of pow today, but Tahoe pow does not look like that.

[@russellscott5199]

Lucas had a gooooooooood day!

[@LucasCatania17]

sure did!

[@WishMeLuck123]

Doesn't get any better than that! At least I can't imagine it any better!

[@LucasCatania17]

it really doesnt! too much more snow than that and the mountain doesnt open anyways!

[@waltciii3]

I just got back! Was at the Bird from Sunday through Wednesday, then I was at Brighton on Thursday for a "rest" day before heading back to L.A. You clearly chose the best day for Snowbird and with the locals helping out, it was an excellent day for all! I wish I had seen this a week ago so I could have planned some of these lines. (Only "Some!" I'm not at all near you guys' level.) The year is starting to look better with snow.

[@a_justin]

BANGER!! 🔥

[@skifishbob7599]

Thanks for sharing your day. You do an outstanding job. Snuck up the road mid day yesterday for a week at the Iron Blosam. Currently stuck on Interlodge and your video has us stoked for what will be an epic week. Keep on rock’n.

[@skiman4617]

Amazing video man conditions looked great

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!

[@brookinsfishing]

Any tips to keeping your gopro from doing the dreaded 5 second shut off due to cold battery warning? Are you running enduros?

[@LucasCatania17]

keep the battery warm when you arent using it! dont just leave it in your gopro on your helmet and then turn it on when you want to record. and yeah 100% need to have enduro batteries!

[@Lukas-Richter]

Absolute banger Lucas!! This is my new favorite video of yours. You did a great job capturing an all time day. Skiing with a local or a friend showing you around is so cool and so much fun!

[@LucasCatania17]

glad you liked it man!

[@oskar.lighthiser]

another great video lucas! thanks for the stoke and inspiration

Most likely there will be 50+ inches of un-skied snow at The Bird Tuesday morning. Could be a legendary snorkel day.

[@heyniceascot]

This is so epic! This is what the Bird is all about. Is there a cliff? Who cares, it's deep and steep.

[@LucasCatania17]

haha pretty much!!

[@weirdbeard1980]

I was talking to a couple friends who coach up in Washington and they were saying it was like 20 below sans wind, looks like Utah is getting the cold fluff and meanwhile it was borderline rain with 50 mph winds today at squaw!! Need some love down here in Tahoe! Guess for now I'll have to live vicariously through youtube. Get some face shots for me home slice.

[@thehighflyingkorean]

Always enjoying your content!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man!

[@OwlcoreX13]

im starting to realize i am going to need some powder skis for this. hopefully i can pick up a used pair in town. my 93's are definitely not going to cut it.

[@LucasCatania17]

yah if it snows at the bird, a dedicated pow ski will make the experience much better!

[@ShaunEk1]

Many days a 93 under foot is great at snowbird. But yeah if you go on a day with big powder I would recommend renting a powder ski at a shop or even at the resort. I mean buying is awesome as well but kinda expensive and ROI depends a bit on how many powder days you get

[@SkiCounseler]

Another great pow video for my mental training. I definitely ski faster after watching your videos!

[@LucasCatania17]

love to hear that man!

[@aidanmoore5412]

Lucas I just skied park city this weekend. Totally sick and I was thinking of all your videos there.

[@garypoyntz6948]

Remember skiing the Cirque regularly when I was a ski bump there in 74. One of our regulars skied 223 downhills as his powders ski's and would straight line it LOL. Braver than me!

[@PeterDavis-nj5tc]

Good to see another old timer here. Do you have an opinion hip-check ''face shots''. Cheers.

[@garypoyntz6948]

Peter have to say never really hip checked, at least not intentionally. Just jumped in and started cranking short turns as soon as I could to control my speed. Maybe our narrow ski's of the early 70's slowed us up as we certainly did not float like modern ski's do today. My ski's where Rossignol ROC SM550's I believe, Rossignol's top GS ski which I think had a 66mm waist. Being a ski bum in those days we waited for no one! Lovely to see Lucas enjoying the powder. @@PeterDavis-nj5tc

[@PeterDavis-nj5tc]

@@garypoyntz6948 I hear ya Gary. There was nothing like pushing the tips down the fall line on serious pow day at AltaBird, fresh snow boiling up in front of you til it blows into your face and over the shoulders. It can still be done on todays skis, you just need to keep on the front/tips to get that pow build-up. My experience, your mileage may vary. Cheers.

[@LucasCatania17]

There’s no right or wrong way to ski in my opinion. I do it to have fun and be outside. The term you’d be looking for rather than “hip check” is called a slash.

[@noahrose1859]

Lucas, I am not sure if you’re at snowbird right now, but we’re expecting a huge storm and the mountain to be closed tomorrow. Do you think we’ll be closed or we’ll be skiing tomorrow?

[@LucasCatania17]

You will almost 100% be fully closed tomorrow and likely in interlodge for the day if the storm performs the way it says it’s supposed to. I would say skiing may resume Monday afternoon or even Tuesday.

[@brentwarneke4293]

For fun, next time I ski steep tight trees, I’m only using my left pole while keeping my right pole out front and steady. Lucas makes it looks so effortless but I’m sure it’s not.

[@humanbeing2420]

Is there an alternative to holding the camera at the end of your pole? It would be cool if the camera could be mounted on, say, a rig attached to your helmet with the camera in a similar location in front of you, so that you could be free to plant both poles. I guess that presents safety issues in a fall, but it would be cool....
