Dear Aspensnowmass, I learned how to ski @ Snowmass! Long ago!! And we skied here many happy years! Watching Lucas traverse the mountains of Snowmass brought back the happiest memories from Elk Camp, to Alpine Springs (Naked lady 😂!!), up to High Alpine, over & up the Big Burn, Sheer Bliss (my husband took me there on my 2nd day of skiing!!), Sam’s Knob, etc. We used to have the best breakfasts & lunches Z@ Gwyn’s High Alpine Restaurant, fine dining @ 12,000 ft.? Seeing the names of all the chairlifts & trails Lucas was on, made me remember the best of times!! Thank you for being so good to Lucas, he deserves it! Such a fabulous skier, yet so humble and joyous whatever he does! 🙌🏼⛷️🌟🎿🥳❤️
@@kathygoff1 we couldn't agree more with regards to Lucas. Deserving, gracious, and yes, he rips ;). Glad he could rekindle a few fond memories for you! Sounds like you hit all the great spots! Hope you're still skiing and smiling wherever you are!
I worked at snowmass in 1992-1993 up at Gwynn’s High Alpine. Rode the lift up with ski patrol every day and absolutely loved it. Great runs and a lot of fun. Still snowbird is still my favorite but still loving all those ski days I got while living in aspen.
Awesome video and thanks to Snowmas for being smart to sponsor this!!! Haven't been to Snowmas in close to 40 years, but your video got me setting up a visit! Thanks.
Sick! Glad aspen brought u out! Didn’t look too deep at the start but looked to ski so much deeper on that high alpine chair! You need to put that one slomo run with like 8 consecutive face shots into the “this is a north American powder hound” audio!😂
I always love watching you ski, Lucas, & really love this Snowmass video! My husband taught me how to ski there a long time ago! He was a heart surgeon & there was a Cardiac meeting every January there. It was like a dream come true to hit those trails all day long, & try to find a way to stay warm! I remember how frozen my fingers & toes would get!! 🥶 We stayed on the slopes & the hot tub was so great! I’m glad you’re have fun with Miss T! 🥂⛷️🥰❤❤
Fabulous footage brother. Was up at Snowmass this past summer, but seeing it with snow is way better. My season starts this Saturday at Whitefish and they just got dumped on. Cannot wait for a solid week of POW days.
Another awesome video! CO is notorious for the crowds but Snowmass is an exception. Not uncommon to have an entire run to yourself. No better place in CO than Aspen!!
Grew up on this mountain, this is my home mountain. I was born In glenwood springs but sunlight was difficult for me to learn on due to the fast lifts, but Snowmass had the slow lifts that came in very slow! This is the mountain I learned on from greens to double blacks I will always love Snowmass 😍😍 best mountain in the roaring fork valley hands down ! I love all 5 resorts in the valley ofc but Snowmass is very special!
Lucas. Great Video man. I live in Snowmass Village and always wondered if I’d spot ya on the mountain here. It was awesome seeing you cruise those high alpine runs. Some of my favorites. SkiCo sure treated you right! If you ever get back I’d be happy to show you my stash spots! Cheers!
Nice! FANCY! Too plush for fluffy! "That'll do!" ...Tara got sweet new sticks. You guys got THE sweet set-up. Dope hoodie! "Early up." 1st tracks. "Dust on crust". High Alpine to yourself! Face shots! And Apres ... 30:58 Really happy you & T. got the hook up! 🪝 👍😊 ❤ 💯 I meant to ask in the stream: Did I miss a story?...why are your poles mis-matched? 🤔
Nice, switched back to Ikon this year and will be heading to Aspen next week, its been about 5 years since my last visit so this vlog was perfectly timed.
Lucas, A stoke squad member Bryan gifted me a membership. This is the 3rd time someone has done that for me. I really appreciate all the positive people on the squad....🙏 You have created something really special. Stoked to be part of the adventure. Its dumping up here in the PNW..... Yeeeeewwww!!!! Lets Go !!
We had a great powder day same day up at the highlands! My buddy is a lifty up at the highlands, ask for Patrick; great skier, he can point you to the good stuff!
@@LucasCatania17didn’t see this quick enough! He typically did Loge Peak, not sure what he’s decided to do this season. Hope to see you at keystone this season, heard Utah got some of the recent snow too!
What an amazing opportunity to be able to showcase Aspen like that. Your hard work is recognized! Funny seeing the stat tracking in the hotel room, and not the van! Awesome job!!!
Yah Man! Looked a a great time, wide open trails good snow… LOL (Face shots x10, the ends less woo hoo’s getting scream out) first dude you see asks how was, you “low key” pretty good funny stuff man.
question Lucas! 1) your gopro.. in that cold.. my battery in my hero 9 lasts 5-6 minutes. what do you do? battery out.. in pocket with a heat pod? multiple batteries? 2) I have WW 121. How would you compare them to 116? one stiffer? what makes you go, "snow blower vs Mega snowblower?" Also Aspen looks sick. Gonna have to check Colorado out.
1) i dont keep a heat pod or anything like that. i bring 2 extra batteries with me, so i have 3 total. but yeah definitely keep it warm when you arent using it. 2) the 121 is a lot softer than the 116. the 116 is much stiffer and has more edge, more camber, less rocker etc. the 183cm is very short for me. thats the main reason why i dont use those skis more. im 5'10" and really desire a 192cm ski, especially one with as much rocker as the 121.
@@LucasCatania17 That was quite helpful. Thank you! I'm really noticing the lack of edge on the 121 on anything other than pow, the front washes out. A lot. But in any fresh, untouched its a weapon.
hell yeah. snow looks good and plenty on the way. ill be out there after utah in a week or so. i cant really afford the hotels at aspen. going to stay with a friend but usually stay in glenwood springs about 45 minutes away from a few snow resorts. get a good weekly rate for like 230 bucks (i guess a lot more now around 500+200 deposit). defenitely going to hit up snowmass, highlands, and copper mountain while i am up there. damn still looks like a lot of the blacks and extreme runs are closed at snowmass.
How would y'all rate the Utah places (aside from Park City and DV) compared to some of the popular Colorado resorts? For example Snowmass, Snowbird and Alta, etc? I live in the southeast, I only get to go once every two years. And have always gone to Colorado (Breck, Keystone, Copper and Arapahoe). Thanks!
Wow! I should have hit that Alpine and Elk side. Did hit the Big Burn runs Sunday, and the blacks on Sam's Knob Monday were much better pow runs, be they cut up by the time I got to them. Long runs. Much more filled in, especially moguls, than A-Basin and Copper are at the moment. Glad I upgraded my IKON pass. Already, got my money's worth. But Alta & Snowbird coming up in a week! Save me some pow!!
Love it!!!! Our pleasure Lucas! Keep up the great work and we hope you have the best stay ever! ;)
What a beautiful place!
thank you so much squad! this was such an incredible experience and something i will truly remember for a lifetime.

thank you so much to the aspen snowmass crew and the limelight hotel for their hospitality! what a day! stoked to do it all over again!
W resort tbh
15:10 - 17:12 Sounds of ecstacy!
"How was that?"
"Pretty good"
😝
haha!
Been to Aspen a bunch in nearly 50 years on skii's. Snowmass is top 3. Love this video Lucas. Keep up the great work brother. Stay aggressive!!
Awesome video Lucas! Snowmass and Highlands are definitely in my top two favorites. Glad you had a great time my friend!⛷️
thanks louis! both are sick mountains!
@@LucasCatania17 How awesome is that view at the top of Highlands Bowl? Hope you had a bluebird day to shoot video. Looking forward to seeing it.
Dust on crust hahahaha let’s get it!!!! Love it
yeww so fun
Looked like so much fun. Dust on crust is the best. Great video man.
Thanks man! We love dust on crust!
Big ups and congrats on this opportunity. Snowmass looks super rad, will have to make sure it's on the list to visit.
Yes!! So many great mountains here at aspen
Snowmass has something to offer everyone from Fanny Hill at the base to the Big Burn, ?13,000 ft. elevation for all to enjoy! You’ll love it! 🙌🏼
I worked at snowmass in 1992-1993 up at Gwynn’s High Alpine. Rode the lift up with ski patrol every day and absolutely loved it. Great runs and a lot of fun. Still snowbird is still my favorite but still loving all those ski days I got while living in aspen.
I worked there 89-90. Those were the days!
stoked to hear that man. heard nothing but good things about peoples time in aspen!
there’s nothing like Snowmass for me!! I will forever remember the happy days on the slopes! 🙌🏼❤️⛷️😍
Great day and accommodations....with the quality of your films every resort should do the same.❤
I appreciate the support! Doesn’t get much better than aspen!
Awesome to see you hit up Snowmass! Me and my college buddies come to Snowmass every year.... this gets me so excited for the 2024 trip!
nice man! love to hear that!
you’re so lucky!! have fun!! ⛷️⛷️
Poor luna 😂, always have wanted to get some turns in at snowmass! Great vid and were living the dream through your lens TY.
yeah man definitely worth putting it on your list!
Soft fresh groomers are some of the best..cruising around Mach 1 slashing everyone some of my fav skiing. Nicely done Lucas
hah thanks man. totally agree!
VIP Treatment. That's awesome man!
doesnt get much better than that!
Awesome video and thanks to Snowmas for being smart to sponsor this!!!
Haven't been to Snowmas in close to 40 years, but your video got me setting up a visit! Thanks.
So glad someone recognized all your hard work! Keep it up!!!
Thank you!
Absolutely!! 🙌🏼

Sick day out at Snowmass! That place is so rad I definitely need to go back. 10/10 face shots that was PURE CINEMA
haha thanks dude. aspen gotta be on your list!
So stoked that all your hard work is starting to return for you! You deserve every perk coming your way! Keep livin’ Lucas and enjoy!
thanks so much shawn! definitely a highlight of the season so far!
Snowmass is by far my favorite mountain. On a good POW day, it is worth the hike to go to Long Shot, and the views on Sneaky's are amazing.
such a fun mountain!
Lucas I enjoy watching this type of skiing as well! You are having so much fun it’s showing for all to see. Awesome hookup from Aspen/Snowmass 😊⛷
thanks alain! its been fun!
This was good. Longer video, unreal skiing. Very good!
thanks matt! glad you liked it!
Dang ! Nobody there, cold great conditions, good visablity .....and all the swag ! 😊😊😊
haha too good to be true!
Dude you absolutely shredded those bumps on wildcat! Thanks as always for the awesome content
Thanks for showcasing how awesome Snwomass is! Huge mountain, you coudl probably make 3 more of these videos and still have lots to discover.
youre definitely right! each zone could be its own video haha
Is that the homie Rick giving the safety talk? Such a legend. Finally getting some good snow out here in snowmass, enjoy the rest of your season!
Living the dream man, great vid as always 🙌
Aye thanks man
This is literally the dream, so sick man and youve earned it
Thanks man! Definitely surreal.
Excellent video Lucas! So proud for you man, in the big time getting sponsored by Aspen Snowmass! You deserve it bud, great job.
Love the content! Have been watching for a few years and you seem genuinely happy and humble! Thanks for what you do and giving us your content!

thanks so much for sharing kathy! aspen is definitely a special place!
Nothing better than pow on a groomer!!! Loving the stoke great vid!
Well deserved recognition. Hopefully more resorts start to appreciate how insane of a content creator you are!
Nice Lucas, getting comped is when you know people are taking notice! Hell yeah! ⛷️⛷️
Haha sweet!

Love to see it!! Hard work being paid off and so well deserved!! So STOKED to see what 2024 brings you!!
I think it's time for some new gloves ;) What an amazing day out there. Glad to see you both getting some well deserved relaxation and pampering.
haha i taped them up and we are all good!
I am bringing you new gloves to the meetup... if you don't use them I will be personally offended lol@@LucasCatania17
You deserve the recognition for your hard work ! I do not use my card on UA-cam, but I would buy you dinner at Handle if you are down sometime .
thank you todd!
absolutely amazing video, stoke level is at an all time high. can't wait to get out to Aspen one day
Never been there. Hotel looked fantastic so I checked it out. Wowza. Great to see you getting these opportunities.
yeah the hotel is sick!

Legendary 🐐’ed video!

Another Awesome Day! As a Local Coloradoan you would think I would have been to Aspen, but I have not yet. Its on my list for sure.
Snowmass has been my favorite mountain since I was a kid. Headed out there in Feb! Great job as always Lucas.
thanks man. was a very fun mountain!
Thats preposterous. I still talk about the one time i rode at snowmass. Got some discount tix from a local i knew.. dang, wish i could get back there
second time there and so much fun!
Still remember when you were at 10k subs stoked that you’ve grown so much! Shame I missed you at Snowmass and jealous of the powder you got haha
haha 10k seemed like it was just yesterday!
12:15 what a cool shot 😍
Going to get 7 days in at Snowmass this year, and this just got me so stoked about it!
Let’s goo love that!
Soooo lucky!
Wow super fun. It made me feel I was there.
Glad to hear that!!
Such a dope video Lucas so stoked for you and T. Y’all look like you’re truly just enjoying the experience. ❤

Not sure, it sounds like he bumps around between Cloud 9, Loge, and he was talking about wanting to try DT. Say hi if you see him!@@LucasCatania17

Makes me want too get back too Aspen
Definitely should!!
Great vid Lucas skiing and lodge looked sick! You know where your gonna go next?
back to utah for the storm!
That will be fun to watch, I’m sure that there will be great snow!
You should do a ski movie from Italy! Courmayeur, Alagna, Montegenerve!

@LucasCatania17 i just looked at the forecast and it looks like showbird is getting like 5 feet in the next week
I’m going in 2 days I love the aspen mountains I was named after the trail Gunners view in snowmass
Somebody doesn’t skip leg day!! 💪
never!!
Nice that was always my in-laws go to ski location & hope to take my son there sometime!!
It’s such a nice place!
On brutal cold ski days I love mac-n-cheese or Hungarian Beef Goulash [Pepi's at Vail or The Bavarian at Taos Ski Valley].
How would y'all rate the Utah places (aside from Park City and DV) compared to some of the popular Colorado resorts? For example Snowmass, Snowbird and Alta, etc? I live in the southeast, I only get to go once every two years. And have always gone to Colorado (Breck, Keystone, Copper and Arapahoe).
Thanks!
Snowbird and Alta just get an absurdly more amount of snow than any Colorado resort really.
Wow! I should have hit that Alpine and Elk side. Did hit the Big Burn runs Sunday, and the blacks on Sam's Knob Monday were much better pow runs, be they cut up by the time I got to them. Long runs. Much more filled in, especially moguls, than A-Basin and Copper are at the moment. Glad I upgraded my IKON pass. Already, got my money's worth. But Alta & Snowbird coming up in a week! Save me some pow!!
good week to go to alta/bird hah!
I Just got back from my ski trip, looks like I chose the wrong time frame lol. Storms look active for you out west
yeah! lots of snow coming our way!
Man l am jealous! Those groomers are long runs . 😮😅
yes man lots of vert!!
You should definitely hit up Vail this weekend!
Back to Utah for the mega storm!
What camera do you use on the slopes?
Damn! That looked so fun! Gotta love dust over crust! Hope you and T are having a blast.
thanks my brother!
🤯...can't wait for Ajax
🙌🏽🙌🏽
lucas make a tutorial on how to do a fun slash. thanks!
i dunno if i know how to teach it
come to kirkwood
Yah maybe
Ever gonna head to Idaho Lucas?
maybe, maybe not
Aces man, aces.
appreciate that!
Can you do a comparison of the 116 Whitewalkers and arv JJ?
Okay quadzilla! Dude... what's your off season leg workout program??
hahaha!!
Shout out to Aspen Snowmass ❄️. Definitely counts as a pow day 😶🌫️👌🏼
haha agree!
What's the long mount you have on your helmet?
GoPro boom mount
♠️ ♠️ ♠️ great mountain
