[@LucasCatania17]

pretty special day for me for many reasons. thank you for watching and happy holidays.

[@cherlgolja5402]

Ciao Bello I’m so jealous! I fractured my femur Jan2021 at Squaw CA and have a rod and screws . I’m healed but I think my downhill skiing days are are over ! I’m going to take up Cross country skiing 🎿 I live vicariously through your video sweetie ! I’m 70 years mature 😂treasure those moments with your parents life is short ❤

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you cherl. im glad you healed from your injury. stay stoked!!

[@jeffe7261x]

Great to see you on the mountain skiing with your parents. Memories to last a lifetime. Your skiing thru the trees is both exhilarating and frightening for me!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you jeff! definitely right about the memories

[@xXxXpancakes]

these poppa J tips are epic and hes a great teacher!

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha for sure. Thanks joe!

[@88happytrails]

One of the best of the year for many reasons, but definitely the family time is priceless! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your day... 🙌

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks man! glad you enjoyed

[@mrnoodle43]

That is so mental…pick a ski hole in the trees aim and go…that takes crazy commitment…holy…good fucking job

[@amandaschade304]

Yoooo! Luuucas!!! Come to Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, this season!! Way better snow at BS & BB, this season!!! YEAAAHH!!! STOKED!!!

[@daver7013]

I appreciate Papa Joe’s critique. I always want to learn good technique. So thank him please. And I appreciate your videos and it has to be nice to be able to be out skiing with your parents. Enjoy.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you dave. I’ll let him know 🙌🏽

[@ssylvester82]

Have loved watching your videos. It's always a special time to ski with family. I don't know if you will see this (or have time to respond), but it seems you ski at Park City a ton and would love to know the best way to traverse the mountain (as a second-year skier)? I have done mostly greens and can get down pretty much most blues (just takes longer). I never really know what Green/Blue means since most mountains all treat them differently. Once again, thanks for the videos - they are fun to watch.

[@LucasCatania17]

There’s a lot of good intermediate terrain on the canyons side in park city! Just start slow and work your way up🤘🏽

[@gradyhester4456]

Sweet Christmas present for sure! Thanks bro, Grady

[@Erwan_Chaps]

Watching a ski vlog from you on Christmas morning in bed when it’s snowing outside is a great present. Thanks for the stoke!! 🙂

[@rickvogeney]

so many great videos Lucas. This was one of my faves because you are with your parents. And, thanks for showing me how to launch into the Portuguese gap.

[@darinsmith2458]

i went skiing today and i better comment before i crash.. what a great day;) i would love to spend time with poppa joe and i would love to spend time with the racers at Copper Mountain.. a little with my background is that i started as a mogul skier and then got into racing.. i started back when there were straight skis and i would imagine that is when poppa joe started.. back then i learned to have soft skis, especially soft tails and then to lean back on the tails and that was for moguls and powder.. also to pretty much keep the legs together.. when i got into racing i was taught to separate the legs for better balance.. this would be the conversation that i would like to have with poppa joe.. the one thing that i would say with this that i noticed today while i was skiing is that if my legs are separated it is easier for me to "catch an edge" on the crud.. i think what i was getting out of what poppa joe was saying is if you have most of your weight (90-10 or 80-20) on one leg while that both legs are close it is easier to shift the weight from ski to ski and a lot easier to jump turn.. is that kind of what your take was on it? i am going to try it..

[@R.Chapman912]

Absolutely Loved this video Lucas! There's nothing like skiing with family! I hope you get so much more of that. Happy Holidays man!

Wise advice from papa Joe, will definitely try and incorporate it into my skiing. Good stuff!

When y mentioned Andrea I was so surprised. You mentioned before how tough divorce was for your family. I’m so glad for you that you were able to ski with them both. What a gift they gave to you. We have a Pineapple Express here at Crystal right now. I hope the snow will get reset in time for your visit. Merry Christmas.

Nice vid Lucas. Great to be able to ski with mom and dad Never got to ski with my dad but he did take us on many hunting trip to Colorado while growing up. Yup he's still doing great at 84! Cherish time spent with parents!

[@LucasCatania17]

wow thats awesome to hear tony!!

[@AlanLamb11]

This was hilarious for me, my father is almost exactly the same as poppa joe and I can see the tendencies starting to appear in myself, my dad passed away earlier this year just a few days after I bought a gopro so this is the closest thing I could have gotten to filming with him. thanks man!

[@LucasCatania17]

seriously! such an amazing gift!

[@KCM1o6]

Lucas, I think many on here would welcome a papa joe tips video. Something like a 30 minutes uncut lesson with your insane cinematography tying in the tips with video to back it up. Would definitely learn a few things from it! His form is great and makes skiing look a bit more effortless (not to take away from how good of a skier you are, we can all learn a thing or two).

[@LucasCatania17]

That’s a good idea man! Definitely want to do a poppa joe video so we can share his expertise with the squad!

[@daviddreyfuss1529]

very nice. brings back memories of long ago ski trips with my family. precious times. happy holidays indeed. enjoy.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you david!

[@dylanloveless02]

Honestly videos like these are awesome. Got the whole family out and also we can get to see some of what your working on. Best video this season. Mostly skiing ...little vlogging makes a great video to watch!! Keep it up. Love the 360 cam footage!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you dylan!

[@ericgulseth74]

9:51. Couldn't resist, eh? 😁 Two things... 1: I guess your dad put it eloquently why the knobs don't know what they are talking about with "A-frame". It only matters if your weighting and riding that uphill ski, putting you in the backseat. We used to teach stem christies back in the day, where you initiated the turn by stepping the uphill ski out and weighting that inside edge. I still use it from time to time in certain situations, so to the idiots who think all A-frame is bad, shove off. 2: So glad to see you ski with your parents. It's been 6 years since I've been able too and with them and I don't know if I ever will again. Enjoy these times brother and Merry Christmas.

[@billycanojr]

Skiing with your father and mother! What a great memory. Glad you soaked it in.

Great shots of Joe on Bill's, Lucas! Joe is a BADASS! An inspiration to us sexagenarians!

I'm so happy that you got a pleasant moment in time experiencing a truly great present from your folks. All the best to the Catania family - have a blessed and prosperous new year!

[@jamess.7261]

My wife is a cert instructor and I get "tips" all the time as well :) Seriously tho, it does help. When I "a-frame" it's usually from me riding the backseat a little on steeper terrain so that uphill tail can't release as easily and tuck in.

Cool stuff, but I was told a couple of years ago that the new style of skiing is to try and have some weight on your uphill ski as to save your legs from getting blasted by distributing the forces. I certainly learned to have all if not most of my weight on downhill ski, so not sure if you'd heard anything about this?

[@forky8079]

I live on the east coast and try to get better at skiing each year. Could you explain what the difference between 106 and 115, 110 what does it mean.

[@justinbayola]

it is the measurement in Millimeters of the ski width under your foot. so 106 is 106mm under your foot

[@kathygoff1]

thanx, I was also wondering what it meant. 👍

[@LucasCatania17]

it is the measurement of the ski width underneath your foot. typically, a more narrow ski like a 106 would be a better option for groomers and all mountain skiing, where something like a 116 is going to be a wider ski, provide more float, and be better for powder skiing
