[@LucasCatania17]

thank you for 8k guys! it's been a crazy week and i am so thankful for your support. i hope you enjoy this longer video. my goal was to make it feel like you were heli skiing, too, so i showed all 6 of the runs that we did and more of the raw experiences of getting in/out of the heli! heading up to jackson hole for the weekend and i'm stoked!!

[@julianstavros464]

Today 8k! Tomorrow? THE WORLD

[@gailabbey9285]

Loved the heli skiing!! So much fun to be right there with you. Thanks for taking us along and sharing the whole experience.

[@patrickconnolly2997]

I’m watching this one again today and you have 69k I wanted to know cost and place you did this too. Holler!!!

[@Felinefine45]

dude your channel is a gem waiting to be discovered. Loved how you brought us along with you. This was remarkable. keep on shredding!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you so much benny! stoked to take you along brother.

[@KingSolrac]

Very cool video! Dude living his dream, this is sick! THOSE TREES GOT ME SCARED SHITLESS

[@justinbayola]

Good to see you getting high quality family time in, and the skiing was pretty epic to boot. Thanks for sharing the with us. You guys looked proper in the Montec gear. So you get another Heli day!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you man. it was just all around a beautiful day. the terrain was pretty mellow, but was really enjoyable nonetheless.

[@mattcook5375]

This is sick!! Brings back memories! Did Whistler heli in2019 awesome experience every skier should do it at least once!!

[@owen730]

So stoked for the channel growth man, you deserve it. Skiing conditions have been rough out here on the Ice Coast, hoping for more snow but will be ripping it this weekend nonetheless ⛷️

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you owen. really appreciate you watching the videos. and thats a bummer man! hopefully more snow will come your way soon.

[@ActionXander]

This was the vlog I've been dying to see! You didn't disappoint, Lucas! Bravo 👏🏻 seriously the cinematography, colors, shots... Exquisite! What an epic blue bird day!!! I think this one might be my new favorite 🤙🏻⛷️🚁

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you brother. That means a lot 🙏🏽

[@justinbayola]

I love how you were getting the "no more hotdogging" warning from your guide lol..... dude you absolutely destroyed those aspen runs!

[@LucasCatania17]

hahah when did he say that? and those aspen runs were mad fun!!

[@klubstompers]

@@LucasCatania17 I think he means, when the guide told you to slow down when you get to the aspens, and then repeated it. :D

[@justinbayola]

@@LucasCatania17 yeah your guide was reiterating it to you specifically lol. he was like "go slow and ski in control" while trying to play it off as a group warning

[@christianisaacjones]

I love seeing how much time you you spent in editing! sick man! the shots at 16:30 and 18:00 are the best! Do more of them! Let’s get you to 100k man, you frickin got it! 🤙🏼

[@andrewyaunches5680]

Love the HK paintball pants my guy

[@journeywithstu7199]

What a show. The way you are setting up shots on the fly amazes me. What I like the most are the Max shots on the pole. I know this is mostly in post, but when I watch the scene it’s as if the pole was never there. It really opens up the action.

[@LucasCatania17]

I love the Max shots too! They are so versatile and the pole just gets removed automatically! One of my favorite cameras!

[@JT-bc4ix]

Great footage! I like how a lot of the audio is just the sound of the skis, snow, and surroundings and not some annoying rock music drowning it out. For the clips with music you do put in, the selection is great and fits the scenes. Keep it up!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you very much! i tried to mix both raw clips and edited stuff so im stoked to hear it was a good balance!

Fantastic creative filming and narration. Love seeing your adventures Lucas. Maybe boost your subs by meeting up with other vanlife influencers and getting them up there on the mountain with you for a day? eg. Foresty, Kara & Nate. Would love to see you hit 20k and then onto 100k. Your channel quality and diligence deserves more people seeing it. Your van build and adventures are inspiring in times like these.

[@LucasCatania17]

those are some big time youtubers haha need to get bigger before i can work with them! 20k would be an amazing goal for 2022! im stoked the adventures are inspiring and i am truly grateful for your support.

[@scottmagee5403]

Easily one of your best videos. My daughter and I experienced a Powderbirds day very similar to yours last winter, so it brought back good memories. I've done many CMH heli trips over the years and was able to get there this year for the 1st time with my daughter. That needs to be on your list for the future. There is nothing else like it. At least not in my experience. I am looking forward to your Jackson Hole video. We are headed there at the end of February, so looking for some tips! Keep the videos coming. I look forward to watching each of them.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you scott! thats amazing that you were able to experience powderbird with your daughter! such a great memory. i have heard nothing but good things about CMH heli trips and definitely am looking forward to getting there at some point in my life. jackson was sweet - was there for 2 days, but they could use some more snow. thanks for watching and for your support on the channel! take care.

Hahahah no worries man! Snow was dope! Thanks for watching homie

[@cdawg9149]

Used to work Chick a dee as a liftee back in the late 70's. Got to know the Pbird crew since they were just next to top of Chick adee . Skiied with them 5 times back in the mid to late 80;s. I think the most I paid was 300.00 for a day. Always went as a standby. One of the best days was in the spring out of Park City. Best corn imaginable. I miss those days. hate to ask what it costs these days to ski a day with PB. Did you get to ski Cardiac bowl or any of the lesser bowls next to it?

[@LucasCatania17]

thats awesome man. so cool to see it go back to the 80s! i dont think we skiied cardiac bowl. we were in american fork canyon for the day.

Well edited and excellent story.! No better skiing anywhere (per a world expert at Wiegele). One critique though. My powder guides in the past emphasized laying close tracks or even 8s to save the snow for others. Definitely no spaghetti bowl tracks! Lol Keep growing.

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you Ed! I asked the guide about doing 8s for that reason and he said we don’t have to haha! I tried to stay close to his track when I could but it’s not as strict as it is in other places :)
