skiing with a TWO TIME OLYMPIAN at DEER VALLEY RESORT!

[@jacksultan8146]

her form is Impeccable Lucas.....she gives us all some very important TIPS.....LOVE HER GRACE AND FORM

[@LucasCatania17]

i agree!

[@LucasCatania17]

massive thank you to Deer Valley Resort for an incredible two days of hospitality! from the beautiful Trails End lodge, to their Ski with a Champion program right up to an amazing dinner at the Fireside - this was truly a special trip that felt like a big reward from all the work that has been put into the channel. this is a long video, so feel free to use the timestamps in the description to jump around to the sections you're interested in!

[@jdsboomin529]

Wow dude I’m so stoked for you. My family has had a place in DV for 30+ years, it is an all around top notch establishment. I didn’t realize it but I was out there the same time although I think I was at the bird for the day (another top notch place for different reasons though lol). I must say that Olympian you skied with rips!!!! Her technique was totally next level. So cool you got to follow her around for a half day or so. I know that would have seriously elevated my technique. You are definitely living the dream bruddah, so fun to follow your journey. Keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

[@tompem]

More of Jillian Vogtli! We all remember how great she was as a teenager at Holiday Valley NY, growing up skiing a 500 vert bump hill. Lucas, you're on to something...you are good..she's great. You two have reached 20,000 of us in just 3 days. Not all of us can fit Deer Valley into the schedule, but we CAN click on you and Jillian! Give us MORE of "Skiing with a Champion". Great job!

[@schpood]

All the follow clips behind Jillian were incredible. It makes it really easy to see how incredible talented Olympic-level skiers are (and how easy they make it look). She was absolutely blasting down those runs without even trying. This is one of my favorite videos to date. Keep it up, Lucas - you're CRUSHING this epic ski season so far!

[@schpood]

Also, her enthusiasm is infectious - she probably skis 100+ days a year and you can see how much she loves it.

[@cvn6555]

Fantastic technique. I suppose one must grow up on skis to ever have such perfect turns. My wife would love her outfit. Deer Valley looks like videos from Japan. Now I want to go there!

[@briantgore]

Love watching genuine athletes ski. She shreds!!

[@LucasCatania17]

absolutely!

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Pretty Gnarly tree skiing on Lady Morgan ! Man the snow looks and sounds so good . Perfect day 🥰

[@LucasCatania17]

bluebird pow day cant ask for much more!

[@samsappleton8381]

Dude - way to go. First day on a longer ski you've had trouble with and you rip a black mogul tree run on first chair. No days off!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks sam!

[@samsappleton8381]

@@LucasCatania17 Hey Lucas - just an observation. You seem to have really leapt forward as a skier this year. It's really cool & inspiring to see. I like seeing some of the park-flavor coming in also to your riding - some switch, jumps, spins & side hits. Great stuff and your video production is crazy good.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

Wow. Lucas finds everything. The best mountains, the best snow, fresh powder, the best snow bunny. Look at her carving, wonder what size skis she uses. The video really captures how smooth she handles the turns. It’s movie worthy. The slo mo as she is cutting through the powder ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks so much. truly appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such a great comment.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

@@LucasCatania17 wanted to ask you. If I am coming from the east what are your thoughts on the best resort to go to ? Colorado ? Utah ? Wyoming ? California ? Mid February. And if possible one that has less crowds and hotels right next to the mountain ? Thinking about driving to, then I can bring more equipment but a flight is only 5 hours away. But I can only bring boots and poles clothes and some food. Hotels got to be expensive as well. Thanks. The east is horrible this year. It’s all rain and warm temps.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

@@LucasCatania17 one more Q: I get a lot of emails regarding Palisades Tahoe. Did you ever ski there and what do you think about that?

[@nicolettafiorentino4596]

Lukie…..you are one great skier! Gram is sitting here on pins and needles. Such talent….very proud of you and am following you! Love gram

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks gram!

[@dphotos007]

I skied Deer Valley 15 years ago and I loved the resort. My main place I ski at is Mammoth. Started skiing Mammoth in 1974. You should take a few days off to let your body heal. As you age it gets harder on your back and legs. Deer Valley has some nice homes toward one bottom run I remember.

[@TunaaMan]

As someone who's spent the last 2 years learning how to ski, and really pushing myself to get better, Jillian's advice was invaluable. You hear it all the time about staying forward, but her explanations, and showing the technique of HOW to stay forward, really opened my eyes. Love the content, keep it coming, it's getting better and better with every video

[@LucasCatania17]

glad it was helpful!

[@cvn6555]

Absolutely. Probably the biggest thing to progress. Keep your eyes focused where you are headed. You do that, the head stays pointing the right way and the rest of the body follows. Once you stop throwing yourself off-balance and in the back seat, you can suddenly make those turns in deep snow and in the steeps. Good luck.

[@justinbayola]

backseat assessment on the Stoke Crow upgrade: That was absolute madness!!! Great job on the remount and sizing! LFG!! You are gonna need those birds for a little bit ;)

[@LucasCatania17]

stoked to use the crows!

[@adrienguinebertiere]

Wow! once again, Utah pow delivers!

[@LucasCatania17]

it never fails!

[@NealNiiyama]

This two parter mini series on DV is one of the best you've done so far. Great stuff with skiing with a Champion...and she giving free ski tips to us all as a bonus. You one lucky dude to score all kinds of benefits as a content provider. First tracks with the DV rep and now this one with Jillian. Wow, what a life ! And you really work hard in setting up all your shots, especially when you have to go back and retrieve your camera on the ground. Very creative work you do. Love watching your stuff...Aloha!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks neal! i'm glad the series was valuable and entertaining for to watch. appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[@susankeefer5981]

One of your best videos! Deer Valley, the class act that they are, really treated you well. If anyone out there gets a chance, try Deer Valley, it’s a great experience. Someday I want to look like Jillian when I ski. Goals. PS: Swiss Raclette is one of my favorite dishes. Good to know that you can get it at Deer Valley.

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks susan! i feel like you can get just about anything you want at DV haha

[@fourlakes]

Another incredible video. You said you don’t like to give ski instruction, but…. What a cool section to add to your videos: Guest Instructor!! Let’s go!

[@bradleyrounds9148]

So good to see Jillian. She is a lightning in a bottle, man. Had the absolute pleasure of working with her pre-olympics. Great how she brought up "vision" in her attack of the mogul run. Great vid as usual. Always recommend the fireside

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks bradley. she is an absolute ripper for sure.

[@jeffs4760]

Man that has got to be the sickest footage I've ever seen through the trees!

[@DMB364041]

Killer breakfast!

[@SpressoMan]

6:11 My thoughts exactly. I took my Ranger 102 FRs (170cm) into the Minnesota trees for 6 hours yesterday; and I got a workout. I can't imagine 188cm in Midwest trees. That would be exhausting.

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah a lot more board to move around haha

[@andya688]

Man oh man are you living the life of dreams or what! I'm so stoked and it's literally 80 degrees here right now. I so want to put on my 20+ year old ski boots and walk around the office, haha. You keep shredding all that fantastic pow and living the life the rest of dream of literally every single day. It's fantastic and I love it and it's truly inspirational along with great camera work. I may not be able to ski again for a few more years but you make me want to get as close as I can. I'm definitely getting another skiers edge and I'm going to shred with you as best I can on it while watching your video's and getting in shape/ready for when I can get back to where I belong. I'm so stoked and there isn't even any snow around here for thousands of miles haha. I don't care, it's freaking close enough for now, I can feel it all again just watching you, man do I love and miss that feeling. You know what I'm talking about. I know it's not the same thing but it will do for now and in the end gets me closer and more prepared to for when I can return to mountain sliding harmony. I'm working on it, just a could more years and I'll be close to that dream. I bet I'm not the only one watching you while dreaming and planning their escape to the mountains haha. Stay safe God Bless and keep showing the way for the rest of us. ARe you like me, when you get to the ski area and see it for the first time you're so jacked up you just can't wait to get on that first lift to get the party started, like a little kid at Christmas haha. Thank you!

[@LucasCatania17]

glad the videos get you stoked! thanks for watching!

[@NottiorNice88]

One of the best days this season! So cool to see and hear how the 2 time olympian described the turns. Thank you for the lessons! Stoked to go back to mammoth next week and try it out!

One of my favorite lifts in Utah for the very powder you found. Big props for dropping the not so small cliff under the lift as well. How dare those people above you not cheer for that one!
