I realize I did more bushwhacking it felt like than actual skiing but that’s the fun in skiing new places! Thanks for watching as always! Livestream tomorrow at 615MST and steamboat springs video on Friday!
That’s how it is exploring the hard terrain at new mountains. Usually don’t connect nearly as well so there tends to be some bushwhacking😂
Thanks for such great content, as always, Lucas! Dude, I gotta admit, I flinched a few times as you were skiing the Royal Elk Glades! Lol
“Signs are saying you should have a partner” “but I have you guys” and points to the camera, I was laughing so hard 😂 lol
haha well i do!
Love the weekend adventures. Impressed by all the camera angles. I’m sure that’s not easy! I got a Montec jacket this year and I like a lot. It has all of the bells and whistles that I need for about $200. It’s heavier than the more expensive jackets but it doesn’t really make a difference.
thanks man! And awesome!! I think the Montec is a great deal for the price point! 🙏🏽
Soooo sick! I have been waiting for this video for so long. I was just there over Presidents’ Day weekend right before they got the snow that you got to shred on. I did all the same runs that you did and every lapped royal elk glade like 8 times in a row one day. So sick!!!!🔥
Damn dude 8 times is wild! That run would be so sick on a fresh pow day!
Another quality vid! Thanks Lucas! Had to laugh at the bathroom shot lol.
haha thanks shawn. was debating about putting that in there but i figured why not!
Damn, this terrain looks extremely fun! I would love to ski it sometime. Your videos are always so high in quality, so I really love your content!
Love the mushroom addition in breakfast. How about Colby jack for cheese? Good for you trying those runs in questionable coverage/conditions and your skiing didn’t seem worse than other times. BC has lots of cat walks/traverses back to base/parking so u probably still had to take some time to get around even if u parked at a different lot. BC is quite big but is known as family friendly resort so there’s that. Did u get a warm cookie or two at the end of the day?? They hand those out at the base…they’re known for that. Can’t wait for Steamboat video!
Thanks Regina!! Oo never tried Colby jack haha. It seemed like a cool mountain but a lot of in between stuff just to get to different areas. And no haha I didn’t get a cookie unfortunately! Didn’t know that was a thing!
Never seen someone so stoked for their coffee, love the energy 😂😂😂
haha thanks nico!
I've been going to Beaver Creek a bit more lately and have grown to really like it, definitely an underrated resort! Glad to see there's some extreme terrain there too, and some fresh pow days after a storm
its definitely a sweet place! probably a good alternative to vail on busy weekends!
Exactly why we go there instead of vail
Love the vids! Something I look forward to for sure! Can't wait for the next
thanks so much kollin! welcome to the stoke squad!
Hahaha I love the excitement you get when you eat your breakfast
best part of the day!!
Heck of a run!
Those Royal Elk Glades look fantastic! I didnt realize BC had some of that terrain. Thanks for sharing!
Lucas you got a great heart and definitely inspire me to get out there more. Great content and appreciate all the tips!
thank you so much dylan
Perfect transition at 13:49! Great vid as always Lucas.
Thanks man!
Been loving the vids man!!! Keep up the great work !!
Thank you grant! 🤘🏽
Love the vids. Watching you from school really wants me out there. Keep it up
Thanks dude. Keep at it..
@@LucasCatania17 mount bachelor in Oregon is something you have to check out
Love steamboat springs, one of my go-to resorts. hyped for the vid.
Hope you enjoyed this video!
The sound of the turns in Royal Oak Glade just remind me of wonderful snow. It sounds like dreamy conditions.
the conditions were actually great!!
Nice man!! Definitely looked like a nice day. That drive out to CO can be a drainer man, props for grinding it out, great content as always!!!
Thanks brother. It’s not too bad once you get down to 70 but still long drive!
Grazie Lucas… Appreciate you sharing as always! ⛷💨🤘
Appreciate you watching breux!!
Love your videos! Always love it when you come to my home state of Colorado!
awesome man i love colorado!!
I ski in beaver creek every year, but sadly only one time a year because it doesn't snow where I live, but I'm really lucky to be so privileged to ski there
Lucas! I’m a fairly new subscriber and came across your channel while getting amped for our Snowmass trip. Just want to say your editing, skiing and enthusiasm are top notch. Keep up the great work!
welcome to the channel! i really appreciate that! enjoy snowmass dude!
Dope footage. Insane day for shooting in the glades.
Thanks jake! Beautiful day up there.
I really enjoy both Beaver Creek and Steamboat. Both places are great for skiing with my family. I’m heading out to Steamboat in 2 weeks, and can’t wait!! Keep up the good work Lucas.
Awesome man. Sounds like a great trip!! Enjoy!!
Glad to see you are doing well. Sorry I've been MIA, I'm still watching 😀. The videos are kickass. Gonna try to make it to your live stream this week. Cheers!
its all good dude! hope youve been well, too! appreciate you watching either way!
Looks like some seriously good and interessting skiing at Beaver Creek! Also loving how the food part of the videos is getting more time. Some nice looking food made in Luna to date!
thanks matt! thats a good way to put it haha. good skiing but also somewhat unique!
@@LucasCatania17 unique, looked and seems a great way to explain it
Used my Virtika jacket on Sunday! So much better than my old one.. Great footage! Cant wait for the big sky video.
Nice man! Stoked you had a good time 🤘🏽
Great video. Especially liked the 16:55 mark. Got a laugh at you just going about your business while those dudes were in the camera! Nice touch leaving that in the edit.
hah thanks brian. figured it be best to just let them do their thing!
I dont know where you find your energie i must be getting old !! Nice one again dude
hahah thanks philippe!
I snowboarded Royal Elk Glades after an 11” dump a few years ago and it was amazing!
Wow that must have been incredible! Great tree skiing!
The skiing in the glades looks so flawless hope I can ski like that in the future lol
Thanks man 🙏🏽 you will be able to my friend
@@LucasCatania17 lol thank you with enough practice I can
Headed there next week, awesome to see before heading out!
awesome brother! have fun!
I love your videos so much. I don’t know how to ski but always wanted to learn. But in the meantime I will enjoy skiiing through your videos 😂
Haha that’s awesome! You gotta try it out 🤘🏽
Love the one pan wonders
haha thanks!
going to beaver creek this spring and was waiting and hopeing for you to make a video on it so I could see what it will be like. Thank you so much!
awesome man enjoy your trip!
Breakfast is back!!! Those burgers looked good! Great vid lucas!
thank you so much barbara!
MAN, takes me back.. used to be a lifty at BC back in the day..
What an awesome place to be a lifty!
Omg I just skied back here on Friday. Snow was pretty nice. On the track out there were tons of options to drop into...
Yes for sure man! So many little chites
GREAT VID.... Lucas, I used to live in the vail valley, worked patrol at the beav, you did an excellent job on this one, yes the beav has many stashes,... oh, next time park at Arrowhead, no charge, will have to take one extra lift... keep the 'stoke'...
thank you! always a bit challenging showing up to a mountain the first time. and i will do arrowhead next time - thank you!
Cool video man. Had a great run in Royal Elk Glade despite not great snow a few weeks ago. Unfortunately took a bad spill in one of the lower stone creek chutes (twin Aspen) the next day, lost one of my poles and damn near hit a tree. Wake up call like yours at Grand Targhee. Cool to see that part of the mountain on video though.
ah bummer man. that area was definitely pretty scary in some parts especially with the low snowpack right now. glad to see you made it out in one piece man.
Sick!!
Thank you!!
Yowza. Let's gooooo, squad!!!!
lets goo!!
Great video as always! Can’t wait for your vids to just blow up and you get 100k subs
thanks josh! not sure about that but that would be sick haha
Much better than last time 😎
Great weekend!
Always bringing the stoke!
Trying to man!!
"What up!?" LOL. Lets Go! Love's should be a sponsor. I've started getting gas and coffee at the truck stop on the way to work. Stoked that I'm going skiin' next Tuesday. See you on the interwebz tommorow!
Haha that would be awesome! Stoked for you Ron! Where are you skiing?
@@LucasCatania17 the South Ice Coast. Sugar Mountain, NC. The "local hill". It's about 2-1/2 hours from the house in Charlotte.
Those kids talking to the camera were so funny hahaha
He should have said " Let's Go Brandon"
haha i know i just let them have their moment
Was just there last week! The chutes r fun
awesome dude!
The Urinal Pissing was my favorite
hahah of course it is
Always love the random people that see you leave your camera and then you leave in their interaction🤣
hahah i know these kids were pretty amped on it
Btw I’m making the 12.5 hour drive on Friday to hit Loveland and Abasin next weekend. Inspired by your channel. I think that I could get a diesel heater on my rooftop tent and camp in national forests/BLM land to make it more affordable but obviously couldnt do “stealth” camping like ur setup.
That’s awesome dude! A basin is one of my favorites! I’m sure you could also setup your tent at a truck stop and no one would bother you!
Those lower chutes looked a little sketchy there! Curious how you ended up skiing off those rocks at 13:13. Awesome as always!
i ended up traversing across the mountain which you can kind of see at 13:17!
Awesome vid! I just started watching the channel and I’m already in love. Any tips on how to get better at skiing and gaining confidence?
Ski as much as you can
So sick been wanting to go there
Worth a trip up there man!
Almost 15 k, keep it up, I bet after the steamboat video you’ll be there
Yeah maybe!
Let's GOOOOO!!!
Yewww
Dude come to Taos on a long weekend. You need to try it out. Most underrated mountain!
Would love to! On my list for next season!
Have you ever thought about going to steamboat? They have some great tree skiing and powder skiing
Went there the next day.
Let's gooooo!
Let’s go!
Damn man was just there on the 4th of March, place is sweet
Sick man! Beaver creek was awesome
Van sammis, skiing for fun and making videos....don't make it any more complicated and keep sharing the content...another epic weekend!
Love this man. Thank you. recently I’ve been feeling like I have to keep pushing the biggest and hardest terrain for the channel so it’s nice to hear this 🙏🏽
let me know next time youre in BC! would love to give you a little bit of a tour around the mtn!
For sure dude!
great vid as always! you ever been skiing in Europe?
I have not man!
just there!
sick!!
cool vid, brutal song selection
Can’t please everyone.
@@LucasCatania17 ya hate to see it
@@LucasCatania17 oh i'm not saying i wasn't pleased
How are you going so fast on chutes? Its pretty amazing that you can do that!
just been skiing for a long time i guess!
Makes me nervous!
I was driving to BC and got a speeding ticket in Greenriver Utah, LOL
Ahh bummer man!!
Bro how u get those drone shots they r so good
hah thanks dude!
Looooveee me some Coffee B-Roll
Hahah bro thanks for the goods!
dude i’m telling you you’re gonna wanna make it to targhee this weekend
everywhere should be good this weekend.
My father has the e-card same Montec jacket
Make sure you don't miss out on bridger bowl when you go to Montana!
its a bit too far from PC!
@@LucasCatania17 Dang! Too bad definitely worth the trek
I hit these a couple weeks back…1/2 chance good times.
Would be so dope on a pow day!
How the heck does he film the view of him skiing as if the camera is looking back at him? 7:45. How is this done??? It’s so cool seeing those shots. Love the vid’s, just subbed bruh, keep up the awesome work!
thanks ryan! those are done with a 360 camera!
You missed out on the warm cookies man!!
i didnt know they had cookies haha!
holy fun
so much fun!!
I just did 5 stone creek chute runs today they have good snow rn
By the way there was a moose in royal elk glade so it was closed for a while
nice aiden!
Awesome as always.... are you sponsored by Love's yet?!
hahah that would be so sick!
Beaver is a pain to navigate, but the tree runs are good
I could see that! Definitely would help knowing where to go!
Sick Vid Lucas, Im in the market for a new pair of gloves that are super warm, mine aren't working out in the cold weather. Do you have any reccomendations?
thanks beckham. have you ever looked at hestra gloves? probably the best ones on the market but they are pricey!
@@LucasCatania17 I do like hestras, but the only problem is the price tag 😂 I still will probably buy a pair because they look so good
serious question: coffee with creamer or no creamer?
I drink it black!
CB is fire as of now
👍🏽 just a far drive
Lucas Catania best resort in the state steamboat doesn’t compare with the terrain you like to do man but enjoy it! I’ll let you park in my driveway bro if you come down haha
Plenty of parking you could get away with
What jacket did you use in this video???
Montec
What editing app do you use?
Adobe premiere pro
Go to Schweitzer, Idaho
too far away
I was there for Mardi Gras I am from la for 7 days I was-with my brother and I thought I say you in the bathroom right by centeneal
Awesome!!
U should do cliffs

Are you using a drone for those shots at 7:45?
No using the gopro max!
I was just there
Awesome Timmy!
God is good
Dude please don’t include music in these videos we wanna hear the raw footage

Lucas if you get a promo code for montec i'm scooping no questions asked
Ahh I wish. They said no haha
