    During the core season, Snowbird and Jackson are two of the best mountains, in my opinion. But you and I should be at Mammoth. The whole summit ridge is open and the snow looks decent. I saw someone rippin down Philippe's yesterday morning on the McCoy midstation cam shortly after they opened the summit. Mammoth is my go to mountain in early and late season.

    Going to be honest here. Love Lucas, the channel and the content. But if I'm being honest here I can see why Snowbird didn't give him two season passes again. I simply don't think the incremental content on the Bird last season vs prior seasons merits the pass. They already have a ton of exposure so they probably bably needed content once a week on average plugging Snowbird and they probably wanted heavier advertising which I'm glad you didn't sell your soul to do. Even getting hooked up last season is amazing and a big win! Upward and onward.

    • @LucasCatania17
      @LucasCatania17  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah I’m sure they had their reasons. But just to mention actual statistics, I uploaded 35 videos for the 2023/24 season from Snowbird on UA-cam for 980k views, 10 videos on instagram for 2.3M views and several on TikTok for 1.5M views. I also always plug them when someone asks me what my favorite resort is. Not to mention all the other videos I’ve made at Snowbird over the years during 2022/23 and 2021/22.
      Deer Valley hooked me up with a season pass this year so I’m stoked for that.

    @Snowbird Why on earth would you not give Lucas a season pass? He’s the best UA-camr on skis and loves your mountain. You don’t want an ambassador like that filming more content on your mountain? Foolish decision in my opinion.

    Why not start a new "season" with the first day of the 2024-2025 skiing? Like your videos, but do not like this choice, haha.

      originally, the channel was never meant to just be a ski channel so i started new seasons in each calendar year and thats just what stuck. now, im just a ski youtuber so i can see why it would make sense to start new seasons when the ski season begins.
