UTAH finally got (some) SNOW!

[@pamgoodley2209]

Really demonstrated your humbleness and good vibe in this video. Always welcoming shout-outs from others. Then stopping to help the woman with her skis. Some might have filmed and put her on the internet mocking her, and instead you patiently showed her how the boots go into the bindings. Well done, Lucas.

[@LucasCatania17]

No way I’d ever mock someone for being new. It’s our duty to welcome everyone to the sport and do our best to make it an enjoyable experience for them.

[@cherlgolja5402]

Never mock a newbie because PRIDE before the fall literally ⛷️

[@LucasCatania17]

not sure if I can even count this as a proper ski day, but we made the trek over to big cottonwood to see what was going on up at solitude! fun day feeling like winter out there! big thanks to the Solitude crew for working super hard out there.

[@maconhumora-dx7hr]

Keep skiing Lucas truly the best sport

[@ADHski]

This is what its all about, Solitude Stoke. What an awesome mountain, always have a blast there. The ambassador of stoke helping her get her boots in, lessss go! Mountains are for everyone !

[@aminsamani5166]

When we got therer I told my friend Lucas might be here today, was looking for your bright jacket the entire time, hopefully another time, You're the reason I'm skiing at all, saw your videos randomly last year and got addicted, keep up the great work, skiing changed my life for the better last year, hoping for an awesome season 2.

[@StefanGonzalesUDC]

I only snowboard. Started almost 10 years ago. My first time was at Solitude. My wife got me a 1 hour lesson. I was taught how to turn but could only really falling-leaf a bit. Snow was thick and wet. I had used gear. After my lesson I wanted to try a real run at least once. Late in the day it started to snow wet and heavy. My wife and I took Moonbeam near last chair. By the time we got off It was starting to blizzard with fog. I ate it getting off the lift. Strapped in, goggles fogging up. Could barely see the tree-line. Tried to falling-leaf my way down. My wife eventually left to get ski patrol. I got within sight of the base before I gave up and let them carry me down in a sled. Years later I was taking near last-chair in Breck with a couple doing the same thing. Their first time up a lift by themselves after taking lessons. I tried to help them best I could but eventually ski patrol had to save them too. Nice to know I was not the only one, lol.

[@LucasCatania17]

yes! low vis conditions can be very tough if you dont have the right equipment!

[@nicholasparker7323]

Being a instructor at solitude in the past, there is no shame in losing a battle to Moonbeam that’s a legit run

[@robertodiaz3359]

The new green jacket looks fresh! and yellow puffy too ⚔️

[@LucasCatania17]

Hahah bro maxed out my 3k limit 😂😂

[@rodgersthat1571]

The skiing sounds like a prime east coast day 🎿

[@rayrayjj]

Yewww! Wassup squad. It's been a busy week... I got about five videos to watch today! Stoke Marathon!!!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

haha no worries ray - enjoy my friend!

[@Zzz-lt7ev]

I've been a subscriber for 2 seasons, and this year, something about the vibe of the content this year is different, but in a good way! A lot of progress and your definitely more comfortable

[@LucasCatania17]

i'm glad to hear that. its always a work in progress and i'm figuring it out as i go.

[@winstonmartin846]

Thanks for shouting out my coffee! Us here in Indiana/Michigan are still waiting with anticipation for snow 😅

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks for sending me some! i like it a lot!

[@deweydogstudios1568]

We are getting some snow over here at crystal It may or may open soon it would be cool if you went and checked it out! Probably opens in the next 20 days unless Mother Nature throws a wrench

[@LucasCatania17]

Yah I won’t be there for opening day!

[@spencerethington]

i was at solitude yesterday as well, couldn't ski a ton because the snow made us very wet but glad utah is finally getting its much needed snow, and it looks like it's gonna finally not melt 😂

[@LucasCatania17]

yes it was super wet! the gore-tex came in handy

[@ronwilson5210]

Glad you liked the coffee and salsa, my friend. Got your boots and gear dialed! Like the green Armada jacket. Nice change up! 😉😊 Let it snow! - 🌬❄️❄️❄️

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you my brother.

[@res_ipsa-REX]

A good parking move for parking during the regular season at Solitude & Brighton (remember Brighton is requiring a parking reservations) is to pick up some skiers at the parking lot waiting for the bus at the mouth of of the canyon. Just make sure they want to go where you are going. Then you show up with 4 people in the car and parking is free. And who knows... you may meet some new friends. Also, the bus system announced weeks ago that the buses will only be running every 30 minutes (not every 15) like last year due to a driver shortage. So the skiers waiting may appreciate even more the free ride up the canyon as the lines waiting for the bus are expected to be annoying. Just another reason why The Bird is the best mountain in Utah (free convenient parking).

[@LucasCatania17]

interesting, but very insightful take my friend. thank you for sharing!

[@DoonkZombie]

Solitude is requiring reservations as well

[@res_ipsa-REX]

You are correct... but Solitude is only requiring reservations on Fridays, the weekends, and peak holiday times. Brighton is requiring reservations every single day. It is crazy that at Brighton you will need a reservation to ski (with an Ikon pass) and a separate reservation to park. Welcome to the future. I forsee Ikon selling a separate and/or combined pass for skiing and parking in the future. @@DoonkZombie

[@maconhumora-dx7hr]

Yeeeew Lucas keep skiing hope to see you out there 🎉

[@LucasCatania17]

for sure man!

[@razorbackg.7004]

Ok old school breakfast recommendation. Corn-beef hash with eggs. It’s one my go to breakfasts when I want a heavy meal to hold me through to lunch. You fry the corn-beef till it’s just about crispy and then crack an egg over it. Then cover with ketchup and Tabasco. You can buy individual serving cans.

[@LucasCatania17]

iinteresting - never had corn-beef hash before!

[@unspokengoat1138]

If you get the chance hike up Alta. That's what I've been doing instead of going to Solitude and it's some awesome preseason powder. Worth the hike in my opinion. Love the vids.

[@deachen6023]

Can't beat Chalula. Great on eggs. Love the heat. You're having too much fun!

Crazy to think that you were skiing main chute at Alta around this time last year. That video looked like the dead of winter compared to this one 😅. I definitely took last season for granted

[@LucasCatania17]

Yeah right haha! Easy to get jaded to how good last year was

[@DrGODofTHUNDER]

Love the songs in your videos Lucas, can you put a link in the description in the future so we can check them out? Thanks!

FYI, it's Fatal Attraction by Vicki Vox. I was curious too and was able to find it.

thank you mark! thats the one.

Thanks bro!

[@silascorbin7903]

I was there on Saturday too, thats wild. I had hit mammoth earlier in the week and we decided to leave there and head to park city to hit Solitude. Definitely not a proper ski day but we take what we can get, right? lol Can't expect much on a snow, low vis day in early season but if you just wanted to be on the on the skis it was worth it. Keep the content coming man I appreciate it. Hope this is your best season yet!

[@LucasCatania17]

nice man! mammoth looks like they have some good stuff open for early season! PCMR Isn't bad but hopefully this snow helps to open things up!

It’ll come!

Have you noticed any changes in snow conditions from the El Niño weather event this season? Also, you should come visit us up here at schweiter in North Idaho!

16 days is still super solid tho man!

[@bobfdowd]

Observation: Part of your brand is your clothing. First purple, then the snow camo. Identifiable. And, I think the yellow and black, plus combo between yellow and black is ok. Not as good as picking one. For me, yellow...be because the backpack (straps and bag) pops off the yellow. Identifiable. But the green? Off brand. Thoughts?

[@LucasCatania17]

I really wish people just didn’t care what I wore and focused on the story and production of the episodes.

[@bobfdowd]

We love your videos, wait and watch for them everyday. I like everything you wear. This was a "branding" comment. I would probably say the same thing if you changed the font every time. 😂 Keep the stoke going... 👍

i know you do, bob and i truly appreciate the support. i hope my response didn't come off as rude or ungrateful.@@bobfdowd

[@bobfdowd]

Not at all. I teach this stuff, communication. 80% of communication is nonverbal: tone, eye contact, body language, etc. Commenting/texting has none of this. My intentions were pure. I should have known better. Knowing and conscious application are different. In the future I will only make "observational" comments via e-mail. If you welcome them. Bob
