- Season 04, Episode 108: hey squad. in an effort to keep things interesting, i decided to take my new 2024 Armada Whitewalker 116s out for a spin today at Canyons Village Park City. This isn't a review. This isn't meant to be a review. I can only deduce so much from a few runs on a mellow groomer. The ski was fun and a lot different than my 2023 Armada ARV 106 that I have been using during the early season. I am excited to try them out in some proper conditions in the future.

yah didn't mean to.
Your filming, editing and music gets better and better! Well done and thank you 💯
thanks james!
I love the ambient noise shots with the no music just nature
Wife loves that I enjoy the videos. She doesnt like it makes me so ready for ski season. Every time I watch a video I talk for an hour about how im excited for ski season. Talk about how ready to ski i am like 6-8 times a day. Love the videos! Keeping me pumped for the east coast season!
haha glad to hear that. the whole point is to get you stoked!
Love! The extra time and shot from the gondola. Us waiting for snow love those shots from the lifts too!
glad you like it!
Just got a pair this week riding in Idaho. Loved them in the powder, they handled well for a wide ski on groomers.
Love the vids bro keep it up. Happy thanksgiving as well!
thank you!
Love the vid! Sweet new "kit" too...Mother Nature will soon respond to our snow dance.
3:50 this shot is so sick, the cinematography is always so amazing.
glad you like it!
How did you do it
Also amazing shot
The side shots showing the skis powering thru those carve turns are awesome 👍
@@kylogamingyt9591 that's what I'm wondering, great shot
thanks for the mount point discussion
Whitewalker 116’s look amazing! love the color!
Happy Thanksgiving bro!! So stoked to watch this after work!🔥 see you at the stream!👍🏽🔥
Thanks man! See ya on the stream!
JJs certainly have a stoke history to them on your channel! Keep ripping!
Ski's look sick dude!! Nice to ski on a sharp edge eh. Have a nice holiday, I'm taking it off to up here in the great north to watch some football. Love American Thanksgiving!!

Nice video looks like a great day on the mountain!
yeah not bad!
After this video, I know this season is going to be so stoked!!!! 🔥🔥
yes gonna be a good one!
Yesser Lucas! Happy thanksgiving! Can’t wait to get up to mountain!!
happy thanksgiving my friend!
Just found your channel
I’m 51 my son 15 and I hit Loveland ski area once a Year as our father son adventure. This will be our 4th year in a row. We will probably branch out next some where different next year! How did u film the view where it looks like the camera is in front of you ? It was a sick view!!! Love your genuine vibe!!
Just a heads up... in case you were thinking about adding a more "frontside grommer ski" to your quiver for early season conditions or when off piste conditions are dangerously crusty during the regular or late season (or during bad snow seasons). Ski Essentials is selling the Armada Declivity 92 Ti for $385 (flat ski only) and for $544 with Tryolia Attack 14 bindings (mounting included and free shipping). Great deal for a great ski. They have the 188cm in stock.
Got to ski those last season, they were fucking great
Look like great ski’s !
they were fun!
Great Video! Hyped for european ski resorts to open!
stoekd for you!
Most are with a fuck ton of snow
Happy thanksgiving can’t wait to go up again today so fun up there.
absolutely man - happy thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving 🦃Ciao Bello 🏎️⛷️
happy thanksgiving!
Camo STOKE SQUAD flat brim is dope!
ha! they are available for sale now ;)
@@LucasCatania17 Bought a Stoke Squad hoodie on this prompt this afternoon.
I was there the same time as you - I’m the tall goober in the gray jacket standing off to your left at 7:39 😂 Hate that I didn’t get to meet you in person! I appreciate the quality content you keep putting out..! Keep doing your thing!
thanks! hope you had a good day out there.
how did u do the shot at 3:35 outside the gondola?
Happy Thanksgiving
happy thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving Lucas! Keeping the stoke high as always
happy thanksgiving!
Alta opening day Saturday, time to get stoked
nice!
The editing was so good today!!!!!!!! The music was amazing. Also is Sarah your sister or friend
thank you! tara is my gf!
How was the chatter on the skis when you got going faster Lucas? I have the bent Chetlers, and they chatter quite a bit at speed on groomers.
As long as you’re driving the Whitewalkers and actually rolling the ski up on edge, and not riding in the backseat they’re quiet and very little chatter. Been on them the past 3 seasons and they do just fine on soft pack, hard pack and of course they rip in pow!!
i thought they were pretty stable but im also not used to such a sharp edge like that.
Thanks fellas hope your seasons going well. Missing 2023 so far
So in these conditions normally you would use something like a 105-110?
All of Canada wishes all Stoke Squad a Happy Thanksgiving.
Lucas and refusing to ski anything sub 100. Name a better combo. Love you brother
thats the way it goes on this channel!
Did you just spray someone? 7:15 🤣
yah not on purpose.
Please tell me when your hitting Brighton would love a pic ❤
Whats the big difference to the normal jj?🤔 weight the only difference?
Nothing like some fresh groomed man made pow.
haha yeah exactly!
That hat needs to be my new duck hunting hat ;)
available for sale ;)
Snowbasin is opening this weekend I think
nah its just a rail jam
don’t worry we will get snowww!
yeah im not worried about it!
Lucas u got any recommendations for a good hard shell jacket?
what do you mean by hard shell?
@@LucasCatania17 When you are a youtuber first and skier second.
Always have said I was a UA-camr first and skier second.
@@lukarus4998do you think you're helpful with these kinds of comments? Or just a bad sense of humor?
@@LucasCatania17hardshell is a more rigid jacket extremly windproof and waterproof. Soft shells are more breathable and less waterproof and can be worn as mid layer.
Hes looking for a jacket recommendation that is really waterproof & windproof
Sweet skis.. I take it the Whitewalkers have more rocker and the JJs have more camber?
I think what I am finding is that the length of the ski really changes how the ski reacts.. Seams like there is less energy or reaction when you go longer.. At least that has been my experience..
they are pretty similar overall, but yeah the JJ has a bit more camber and less rocker than the whitewalker does.
have you tried their declivity series set?
no i have not!
@@LucasCatania17 thanks. Thinking of getting them next year for east coast stuff.
Next video better be you on some skinny skis
I’ll be back on my 106 don’t worry
Why whats wrong with skiing wider skis?
6 inches is enough of an excuse to take out the wider planks!!!
dont gotta ask me twice!
I thought Homie was going to ski over them as soon as you dropped them on the snow 🤦🏼♂️
haha all good
7:16 kid gets absolutely dusted
unfortunate
Spotted a few pairs of stoke crows and stole elks at solitude today. No one, aside from you, is brave enough to be out on whitewalkers
stoke elks are 116 underfoot just like these!
Twin tips don’t fit cause they tails flare out and they don’t get narrow enough to slip into the slot.
Yeah but you just use 2 slots with one ski in each. That’s what every other resort does, and he tried to before they told him to take the inside with him which is not typical at all.
Bruh as if he dosnt know that
First comment, besides the pinned one lol.
Second comment, besides the pinned one
Taking these skis out on not just a groomer, but an early season groomer may be the the biggest risk you take all season.
Lol. There’s a lot bigger risks that will be taken rather than using a 116 on a groomer.
@@LucasCatania17 True. I was mainly projecting tbh. Me on a groomer with anything over 100 UF is worse for my health and self esteem than a tree collision under a chair lol. Your vids have been a lot of fun to watch this season and I’ve been really enjoying the cinematography. I guess it’s easier to work the angles when you’re not as worried about the pitch. Thanks for the reply and all the work you do!
not really finishing your turns
Yew
yew!
