[@cliang001]

Bro had more powder days in one season then i've had my whole life

[@LucasCatania17]

hahah what up the meetup doe??

[@michaelmilano8798]

Between Waking up this morning to snow covered peaks in Denver and this video I am so ready for this season to start! Hopefully this season is at least half as good as last!

[@LucasCatania17]

agree! even an average to above average season will be great!

[@ihavenoiqq]

Haha same here, everyday that I am walking between classes, I look at the mountains. So nice to finally look up there and see the peaks covered in snow.

[@jakeellison8560]

just want the season to start

[@LucasCatania17]

Patience bro!

[@mr2fyre]

What a season of pow!

[@LucasCatania17]

Yes for real haha!

[@alexanderroberts9126]

my kind of video! hope to another good season this year after I suffered through aus's awful season this year.

[@LucasCatania17]

hope you like it! praying for good snow for everyone this season!

[@alexanderroberts9126]

@@LucasCatania17 thanks lucas im sure i will, thanks for making such great videos all the time.

[@astoelly]

Australia was the absolute worst!! I booked flights to New Zealand after 4 days of staying at Thredbo.

[@alexanderroberts9126]

eh its usually alr, new zealand defo a better option.@@astoelly

[@alexanderroberts9126]

the best in the southern hemisphere is south america or new zealand.

[@grant2707]

glad to see the opening day at deer valley made the list. still my favorite video from you just bc of how early season it was and the music fits it perfectly. Great vid Lucas as always

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks man! DV opening day was so wild hahs

[@brandonfederico2442]

Love the content...keep it coming! Can't wait for the snow to fly!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Brandon! More to come 🙌🏽

[@paulbrownjr8676]

Your review of opening day at Deer Valley reminds me of my first early season trip late 90s in Taos NM, that place is awesome and we found stashes of fresh pow at the upper part of the mountain even though it’d been a couple days since the dump. Epic for early December

[@LucasCatania17]

sounds so sick man. i gotta get to taos one of these days!

[@paulbrownjr8676]

Some sections of Taos are pretty narley, upper section near Tresckow and Corner Chute I believe the terrain is steep and angled so it makes for some intense stuff

[@wonyakomenuras1247]

Great video, Lucas!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro!

[@kathygoff1]

This is excellent, Lucas, I really enjoyed it! So glad you put this together, what a great idea! Thank you! ❄️⛷️❄️

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks kathy! so glad you liked it!

[@eviannatural1963]

such a sick video, excitement for next season is through the roof

[@LucasCatania17]

Hell yea dude!!

[@Bryan-rl2ik]

Wow what a season ! I hope this coming season is even half as good. Your number one was absolutely nuts. Looked like you were swimming in snow

[@LucasCatania17]

haha thanks man! hoping to score another pow storm cycle at mammoth!

[@Bryan-rl2ik]

@@LucasCatania17 you and me both ! I would love a couple more this season at Mammoth. Or so many that I "have" to buy a new pair of skis

[@torbot_]

Wasssup Lucas! I was at Palisades that same day on the Alpine side in the am… then headed over to the “Olympic Valley” side for the afternoon. I know.. kinda backwards to the norm because of all the hiking at Alpine. Crazy how fast it gets tracked on both sides regardless. Even before Xmas! I’ll probably be down there again the first couple weeks of dec this year..my home is Mt Hood, so hit me up I can show you around meadows (see profile pic) or Tline or Bachelor even. Or…. Ski bowl if it’s cold enough. They are open from 3pm-10pm midweek. In theory you can start at mhm in the am, afternoon at ski bowl to get a double Pow day (if you time it right and are lucky with temps/snowfall). Shred on🤘🏽⛷💨

[@neverforgettr2276]

I now have permagrin. Thanks brother. Loved the happy vibes.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@JM_utube]

Ryan from Deer Valley is the best! The mountain host + tour program(s) they have running there are exceptional. I go for it every time I'm at DV

[@lv42daze]

brilliant vid keep'em coming :)

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you!

[@grant2707]

Snowbird w papa joe is an easy #1

[@LucasCatania17]

pow days with papa joe are the best!

[@lucasgonzalez-camino9028]

Amazing video, you should come ski the alps

[@LucasCatania17]

hopefully someday my friend!

[@tetra8909]

Ill see you at deer valley! stop by the wasatch lift.

[@LucasCatania17]

For sure!!

[@Hudson-M]

Number 1 is so true I was skiing canyons side and it was the greatest time of my like. I was on saddle back and it was up to my chest in pow and the next day 9990 was basically over my head in snow the hole time. Best storm ever and will never forget it.

[@LucasCatania17]

That’s sick dude. There was so much snow over new years haha

[@Hudson-M]

@@LucasCatania17 Ya i know hopefully we get hit like that again this year I would be sick.

[@MaxRank]

I know you don’t go up to Whitefish because of the lift pass thing, but January last year we had fresh pow every day. The runs on the backside of the mountain were untouched no tracks. Gorgeous

[@LucasCatania17]

I would definitely love to check out whitefish this year.

[@MaxRank]

@@LucasCatania17 I’d be stoked to see you up on the hill, it’s not Snowbird brother, but the back country skiing and pow is superb. No lift lines at Whitefish!! Big Sky is 6 hours away and has some awesome bowls also. You’ll be skiing before me this season cannot wait to follow your adventures. Cheers for the reply as always.

[@makhola1362]

Hey Lucas, thanks for another great video. In your experience, where would be a snow sure resort for around Thanksgiving?

[@scottaiken210]

Quite a list of epic days....mine had to be March 12th and the Stoke Squad meetup at Solitude!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

the meetup was a nice pow day! hopefully we get some goods again for this years!

[@ole-bboy5875]

Man your dads ripping it on west face. That was a great day.

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah joe rips for his age haha!

[@michaelhennessy5672]

Love it

[@LucasCatania17]

Awesome!

[@jacksultan8146]

Welcome to the POWDER ROOM SESSIONS....FACE SHOTS GALORE

[@LouieDog55]

Dec 12th was a Monday. Also known as a case of the “snow flu”. 😏 I had Martis at N* all to myself and lapped it until there was nothing left…including in the trees. 30k of vert in almost exclusively untracked pow….my legs were absolutely roasted. ❤️‍🔥

[@LucasCatania17]

sounds like a dream day bro!

[@zachmillang2903]

Had a day at sugar bowl this last season where I was practically swimming in pow. Went out and bought wider skis after being up to my waist in snow 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

hahaha love that man. a nice set of fat skis is the key to enjoying big storms!

[@andrewmahoney5099]

I can’t wait to shred some POW POW🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@LucasCatania17]

Haha me neither!

[@spencerethington]

the January 6th snowbird storm day was the deepest day for me at brighton, never got that deep again till late march for me lol

[@LucasCatania17]

Yup! That whole storm cycle was whack

[@spencerethington]

@@LucasCatania17 yeah, the days after had deep pow but terrible consistency, saw an avalanche firsthand in the brighton backcountry during that cycle

[@ihavenoiqq]

I can't belive skiing is only two months away. Even a little bit more than a month if you go to A Basin, assuming they open in late october.

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah! End of October

[@jacksultan8146]

Could be a big year dumpy lumpy

[@LucasCatania17]

Let’s hope!

[@kevinturner6281]

Looking forward to an epic season and following you through it again dude! Nice to see a recap of last year 👍🏻 Can I ask you, your Montec doom jacket (the camo one), is it just a shell or is it insulated?

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks Kevin! The camo one is insulated. My more recent montec kits I went with shells though!

[@ActionXander]

Got a taste for my first pow day ever last season and I really hope I get more this season

[@LucasCatania17]

yes dude that schweitzer day was sick!

[@ActionXander]

@@LucasCatania17 I always always cherish that day in my heart 🥲

[@bonrodgers4096]

Stoke for pow

[@LucasCatania17]

same!!

[@richard975]

have you thought of featuring some top park/freeride skiers on your channel?

[@tylernadeau2831]

Getting me stoked for next season! Any plans to ski the east sometime?

[@LucasCatania17]

Sweet!! And no plans at this time man

[@tylernadeau2831]

@@LucasCatania17 don’t blame you 😂 trying to get out west this year myself!

[@kadegreen5356]

Just got some built-in helmet audio - is there a "stoke squad" Playlist? Love the music you put to your vids

[@LucasCatania17]

Ah there is not but after many requests, I might need to make one!

[@Isaiah-Anderson]

Last season was so epic

[@LucasCatania17]

seriously man. hoping to get up to MT this year!

[@barackhusseinobamaofficial]

Hey Lucas, do you have any tips for riding powder, cause im in aus i only get 1 day a season (15+ cm) and its always pretty wet so i dont get to practise but im going to japan this year and wouldnt mind hearing from you the best tips for riding pow.

[@LucasCatania17]

i dont really like to give tips on my channel, but i would say to pinch your thighs together, rather than thinking about keeping your feet together. push down into the snow and when you feel yourself coming back up is when you initiate the knee roll and edge transfer to the other side. it's also important to keep your speed up and stay aggressive on the boot.

[@alexanderroberts9126]

thanks@@LucasCatania17

[@zman7689]

That POW shot at 19:40 is insane.

[@LucasCatania17]

One of my best!

[@will3057]

Basically everyday was a powder day

[@LucasCatania17]

hah basically yup

[@bonrodgers4096]

Hope the east just stays cold and snow would be nice.

[@LucasCatania17]

yeah lets hope for a cold and snowy year again!

[@loganhorton-op1dp]

how packed will it be at breck december 19-23?skiing wednesday through friday

[@LucasCatania17]

it wont be as bad as the week after christmas to new years, but youre definitely getting around that busy time! should be fun though.

[@chadcore5000]

Day 5 on snow in New Zealand ✅ I’m officially warmed up. LETS GOOOOOOO!!

[@LucasCatania17]

Nice dude that’s awesome!!

[@user-tm8kz6yv7i]

Cool video and also is powder actually more fun then regular? I actually never skied pow

[@LucasCatania17]

powder is definitely fun but not everyone likes it believe it or not!

[@philiplacey5430]

Like a lot of people I skied a lot of groomers before a true powder day presented itself. It was a humbling experience overall but the one or two good runs made it worth it.

[@ccpmarch1980]

So so so sick.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thanks bro!

[@jrock652]

Have the chance to work at either the Bird or Park City this winter. Would have housing in PC or SLC, the commute up LCC despite the superior terrain is my biggest worry. Where would you choose Lucas?

[@LucasCatania17]

Oof good question. I think working at the bird would be a pretty sick experience to say you did. The commute should definitely be a concern and not taken lightly. Park city will definitely be easier to get to and have a more family, ski town vibe/atmosphere to it. Personally I would choose park city just because it’s my home area.

[@jrock652]

Basically my thought process! Think I’m going to send Park City and use my IKON days for AltaBird. I’ll keep an eye out for you on the slopes this season.

[@steveharris6916]

The level of the stoke 💁‍♂️

[@LucasCatania17]

Hopefully it’s high!

@@LucasCatania17 it's not going to be long.. the mountains are already getting snow.. i did talk to someone today as far as why the leaves aren't turning colors yet.. maybe the trees are saying something.. i hope it doesn't mean that it is going to be a warm winter.. i know the farmers almanac says it is going to be a cold winter..
