Luna is my 2013 self-converted sprinter van that I spent about 6 months taking from a messy work van to my very own tiny home on wheels!

mammoth has quickly became one of my most favorite places i've been to. from the mountain to the town, i already cant wait to get back there.
Happy to hear you found another fav! Sorry I missed the premiere- hitting the slopes in VT. Peace ✌️ out ! 41 ski days 😮 YEWWWWW
It’s the mountain we kick off the season with and end the season with every year. They get some INSANE snow there most seasons. Shhhh don’t tell many people. ;)
Yuo, Mammoth rocks!
But the bird is the word
We'll let you back....glad you enjoyed our mountain....we like it too
Lucas you mastered the most difficult that Mammoth has to offer in style. You are amazing.
Thank you steve! Can’t wait to go back and explore more
The "most difficult" on the trail map would be Felipe's and Kiwi Flats. Felipe's is the line that he would have dropped into if he'd continued going straight over the ledge at 13:45. Kiwi Flats is above and to skier's left of that. It's accessed by picking your way further out along the ridge that he stood on at 13:17. It was probably unskiable in the relatively bony conditions shown here, and Felipe's would have a ~10 ft mandatory air about halfway sown, though both filled in very nicely by March this season.
In terms of most difficult in general, there are some lines off of the top that are another notch or two up. Like most big mountains the really gnarly stuff isn't on the trail map.
Which lines you talking about? Dos pasos?
Mad skill one-handed skiing on those Double Blacks!
I have been there so many times but you just showed why my 95 year old dad will travel so far for just a couple of days a month. I wish you were there during a storm or the morning after. It is so big there and for everyone. Thanks again Lucas
Thanks for watching Jim. Hope you have an incredible trip out there with your dad my friend
Your videos from Mammoth were absolutely incredible. I've been skiing there for 50 years and have hit just about every nook and cranny available on the mountain. You did a great job of hitting many of the high points, but there's plenty left for you to explore on return trips. The debris field that you saw was most likely patrol induced. Mammoth Ski Patrol is awesome keeping the mountain safe for everyone. Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for all the insight and continued support Scott! Mammoth was definitely one of the most incredible mountains I’ve been to. I can’t wait to get back there already.
These cliff jumps are seriously max level stoke! The resort rankings may be more difficult than the skiing you're pulling off!
thank you mark! wouldnt call them cliffs haha but lil hops
those tips right down the fall line....great Rippppp
Thanks jack!
15:28 - 15:40 that was too smooth bro. Just got my JJs this week and I can’t wait to send it!
You upload, I go ski. Just finishing up the video and heading out for day 38 myself and closing in on 750k (~650k Rn ) downhill vertical. Thanks buddy
, these really do motivate me to go ski.
Dude 650k downhill vert on 38 days is insane!! Good work dude
@@LucasCatania17 thanks buddy
I've been skiing mammoth since I was 1. Great video! next time you are on the backside go send it off lights out jump
Sick video. You make it look so easy and fun. I'm too chicken to go on the black diamond...maybe one day I will have the courage....glad you enjoy mammoth. It's a great mountain.
Thank you man! See you out there
This terrain is legendary and nasty!!! I need to get to Mammoth. Been to Heavely, Kirkwood, N Star, Squaw and Alpine and Sierra ranch. These videos are making me plan a trip....Yahoo Big Man.🎿⛷️🍻
Mammoth is sick’ up there with the best
Almost got zooted? Beware the steeds and keep a firm grip on the reins, them boys want to run...😆
I love how you talk through some of your runs. Just thought process and showing how calm you are. Plus it always means you're breathing. My dad would always make us sing going down the hill to make sure we'd keep breathing. Good stuff man.
Haha zooted idk where that came from
Lucas,
Your editing is really outstanding!!
Thank you, 🇺🇲
Thank you!!
Another awesome episode!! Thanks as always homie!!
Thanks for watching dude!
So glad you got to fully enjoy Mammoth! Roadrunner was sooo sketch when I checked it out so definitely awesome that you got to cross to that side! Those golden hour runs 👌🏻
Haha I could see that man. Pretty narrow little cat track!
The Mill is where its at man. Roll up early AM and make yourself comfy for the day :)
Looks like a fun lot haha
Check out Mammoth again late spring when all the other resorts are closing down and those runs still have lots of snow, but it’s turned into corn snow. It’s a whole lot of fun.
For sure! I definitely want to check it out late season!
What a gorgeous place. For sure added to the bucket list. Spectacular riding, Lucas, and stunning video brother! Thanks for taking us along on another absolute banger of an adventure
Thanks brother. Appreciate you always coming along with me on the adventures
To get a good parking spot at Stump Ally you need to get there early. I always park my van there. You were on fire today, nice lines!! Day 41 is amazing, I'm on 26 with 2 at Mammoth.
Seems like that’s the place for all the vans haha and day 26 dude good work!!
I think you'd get a lot out of a couple more days exploring the hill at Mammoth (not to mention enjoyment...) It's such a huge area.
Your skiing appears to be getting more relaxed as the days add up. At this rate you should be able to attain 100+ days!
I'm extremely impressed at the quality of your adventure streams. They do such a great job of immersing the viewer in your day & the vibe you bring. The live commentary while hitting the terrain is a huge bonus and makes you unique!!!
Thanks for sharing...
Thanks Morgan! Definitely plan on spending more time there this year. As the season goes on, a 100 day season seems more possible!
Appreciate the continued support as always!
Enjoyed the mammoth vids. Beautiful pix. Welcome back home. 2 storms this week then large after Christmas. 🤞 pineapple express
Yup! Should be a good week ahead
Skied Mammoth all through the 80s and 90s,,,with fresh snow on the 4th of July holiday. Miss it big time.
15:51 "You're never cliffed out until you're cliffed out." Wiser words have never been spoken. 😂
Hahaha I have no idea wth I’m saying sometimes
I like the pre ski van talks
haha awesome
Great video. Probably the best scenery shots, you showed what Mammoth looks like. Being near Fresno I was always worried it was a lot of desert. Those jagged peaks in the background look awesome. And I'm not sure anyone else is shooting with a 6' selfie stick? Nice shots, good cinematography and look at your subscribers, like 10k a week?
thanks man! and i thnk you mean 1k a week haha not 10k
Mammoth 🦣 shhhh 😁
Ur stoke is real🙏
Thanks dude
Awesome , that mammoth at the bottom is so iconic . Loving your videos man .
For sure man that mammoth is so rad haha
Man. Lived here in 07/08 and been back many times since, even for 4th of July a few times. Love seeing you knock out some legendary spots!
I like the section at the 11 minute mark where you don't have music playing over. Listening to the sound of the turns in the snow, the wind and your breathing makes it feel like I am out there on the mountain with you. 6 days until I hit Sierra-at-Tahoe.
Thanks man! Most of the skiing in this video doesn’t have music over it
You cannot end a Mammoth trip without hot dogging at full tilt right underneath the chair on Stump Alley!
Good to know jaha
Lucas just starting the video. I'm a pilot. With jet engines, we put an additive in fuel to fight against icing when it gets cold at altitude. So I'll be you're getting an additive that helps with that. Anyway, love your stuff. I'm back to watching the video now....
Thanks so much man! Super cool you’re a pilot haha
1) sick videos as always lucas. Love your travels and you're a rad skiier. Looking forward to the content this season.
2) Ngl I skied both palisades and mammoth growing up. 2 different mountains, but palisades definitely has the better terrain. Find a good local and they'll show you the ropes. Hope you can make it back there on a good day (not in the middle of an intense storm). Mammoth is better when it hasn't snowed in a while, but I'd say the amount of expert terrain is limited (mostly open face, above treeline, some cliffs) but palisades has way more mandatory-air lines, hiking to no-fall zone stuff (like phillipe's), and fast tree runs. I think mammoth usually has better snow due to the elevation, but wish for more varied terrain. I think what's hard about palisades is the map doesn't show much at all. You'd think it's a boring mountain until you realize there are unmarked cliffs and drops because "you just learn". I don't think that's the way to show a mountain safely, but it's the way it is.
3) if you go back to mammoth check out huevos grande. All that terrain right under and skiers left of the gondy is rarely ridden but super fun. Additionally just outside the resort is the hole! Equally fun, not as intense.
Thank you man!
Videos just keep getting better… and so is the cooking 😉💪. Congrats
Thank you man!!
Hell yes! so glad to see you found your new favorite ski resort. You look so much fun at the Hemlocks. Thank you to inspired me to try cliff jumps there. Hopefully, I'm still alive after doing that😂
Let’s goo dude. You’re gonna love it there. Definitely try the hemlocks bro
just casually skiing down a double black holding a 6 foot pole and talking like this nothing, wild. Can't wait until you ski some steeps in BC
It was a chill double black tbh. And I’m stoked to get up there man!
some damn fine skiing in this video!!
I appreciate that dude.
Glad you made up to the hemlocks pretty awesome. I’ve got an awesome picture of my brother jumping the whole paranoid flats part. Like always the best videos out there
That must be a sick photo haha
@@LucasCatania17 it is. I tried to put it on the comments but you can't.
Skied the hemlocks today. Still fresh snow. Amazing video!
Thanks man! Such a fun zone!!
youre absolutely shredding haha, so sick
Thanks man🤘🏽
I’ve never seen your videos before but I love the points of view and really love that you LOVE my favorite place in earth….Mammoth. So good on every level. I will be heading up later next week when they get some fresh snow, so your videos INSPIRE. Very cool. Love it!!!
Awesome dude! Enjoy it!!
Sick day at Mammoth! Ripped it 🤘🏻
Thanks dude
dang, i'm happy to get 45 days on the season, let alone by Christmas - living the dream!
This is all new to me man. I barely would get 30 days a year
You are seriously making the rounds...good for you Lucas! Mammoth looks awesome!
Thank you Tony!
That audio track you used was sick :). I hate sounding like a broken record Lucas but damn!!! ……. Just incredible! Safe travels back to Utah!
Thanks so much Shawn!!
mammoth is the perfect mountain. you should go back when the southwest wind is blowing off the top of the mountain
definitely gonna go back!
Damn I just commented about the hemlocks lmao so glad you got to get back there. Now time to cruise back with a few feet to shred! Sick videos man.
Thanks man! Hemlocks we’re sick. Gotta come back on a storm dump
Mammoth looks awesome; time to retire Luna and settle down there? :)
Hahah maybe dude
Bro, another great vlog from the master! Your ski ability and confidence has improved so much with all the vert you have put in this season. Keep it coming!
Thanks so much paul! Feeling good out there
Hemlock looks awesome, not as sketchy as wazoo. I'm in mammoth in a few weeks but I've never done any double blacks there. Now that I think of it I'm not sure I've done double blacks anywhere. You make it look totally accessible though!
Hemlocks is a fun area! It gets a bit more mellow and less vertical on the left side if you want to give them a shot!
We go up all winter and summer. have a place so its easy. Cant wait to see where you go!
Beautiful place!
W video as always! Keep up all the amazing videos! The quality is just insane! Lucas you the best!
Thank you bro!
Skiing with no fear
Calculated risk
Brilliant video Lucas, loved the music you used in it as well. Totally suited the film.
Thanks man! Stoked you liked it!
When you come back next time you should look out for All the small figurines bolted into rocks all over the mountain, usually viewable from certain chairlifts (Superman, Wonder Woman, The juggernaut, some GI joes name a few. Fun game to find them!
Haha I actually saw them on the cliffs from the lifts!
Avie in Wipeout 1 could have been a groomer pushing snow around.
great commentary Lucas.
Glad you enjoyed it Gary!
Hey man I previously went to mammoth this weekend and i didn’t know who you were but I saw chair 22 videos and chair 23 videos (i’m 99% sure i saw you going down 23 after seeing ur skis lol)
I was just wondering how that compares to chair 22 as I finally did all those double blacks for the first time (my dad didn’t let me do it lol)? Thanks and I love the videos
Chair 23 was a bit more extreme than chair 22 imo. If you did chair 22 you can definitely start working some of the shots under chair 23 though!!
So stoked you do daily videos now! Keep it up!
Thank u bro!
It would take me a week to review, edit and compose this footage. You seem to do it in a matter of hours. Impressive.
4 hours if I’m really quick about it. 5-6 hours on average.
Love watching these! Keep up the good work! Any chance you could do a gear video of what you use and wear?
Thank you! Gear video below

respect man, great skiings, thanks for the views
You got a whole season worth of skiing in before Christmas.
Stoked!
Such good skiing man
Thank you Tommy
Some of the names of the runs took on the names some local would call it 👍!! They caught on, kinda cool. Felipe's and Balls to the walls are Now runs that are on the map. Felt like we were free back then!!!!😊
If you have to check how many days you’ve skis then your doing it right great vid dude
Haha thank u bro
your my favorite toutuber
Thanks dude.
You should come ski in Montana some time!
Maybe in March! Was there last year at big sky!
I am a simple man, Luis tells me a resort is Top 5, it goes in the top 5...
Hahah can’t trust everything luis says
Getting my first ski day in this coming Tuesday, night skiing from 6-10 my mountain is finally opening on the 26th
Dude that’s sick!! So stoked for you. Opening day under the lights LFG
And here I am at the next video finding that you found Hemlock on the backside. Glad you enjoyed!
Haha just a matter of time!
Bro you should check out Taos ski valley in New Mexico! Love your videos🤙🏼
Maybe in March bro!
Glad you enjoyed my beloved Mammoth. I grew up there 70s/and so on. Special place.
Yeah 😎 man the 70s!!!! Before McDonald's. Hot to go chilli, Rafters, Mogal steak house. Cask and Cleaver. Pioneer Market, fat Albert. Best place on the planet. No one really knows unless you been there.
@@Smooth1now
You're a Mammothite?
My flair for the obvious!
I just walked in the door, from shoveling my old guy ass off!
@@JEM133 I spent 4 winter's up there. I knew Bryant Wells. Skied the rock chute in 1980! I remember Perry Thompson, and Penny. Those were the best days of my life. Oh, oh I am in the Mammoth guide. Either 80-81 or 81-82. I'm a total celeb, ha ha. Funny thing 😂😁. You in Bishop. Weren't The McCoys in Bishop??
@@JEM133 That much snow? You still in Mammoth? I kinda jealous. Did you know Mike Mcgrale or Sean the X- Country guy can't remember his last name. How about Brent. Those guys could ski.
You should try and make it back to palisades when everything is open. Lots of good terrain wasn’t open when you were there.
Yeah maybe!
Yeah maybe!
Lucas not sure if you know but the spot where you stopped in the opening B-role is the spot where Dave McCoy put up his first rope tow. 💁♂️
I did not know that! Thanks for the share steve!
Great.
Another incredible video and day of skiing, Lucas! What is the average amount of time do you spend editing a video, especially when you are cranking them out at this pace?
Thank you Barry! It typically ranges between 4 and 6 hours start to finish.
So people are staying overnight at Mammoth in one of those tent caravans (0:47s)? That's wild.
I’m not sure if they’re staying overnight or not but still cool
That was beautiful! You could be the spokesman for Mammoth. I’ve never been there, but now I want to go. Where to next? I looked up the most challenging mountains in the US and one of them was Silverton, CO; have you ever been?
Thanks Susan! I’ve never been to the mountain there but went cat skiing out there. It’s a unique mountain compared to other resorts
I always notice how your mid-ski audio is so crisp! Do you wear a mic or is it all the GoPro mic?
I’m using a lav mic!
music this episode was much more enjoyable
Thanks! Not easy picking music everyday that everyone will enjoy but glad you like this one
Hiked the Hemlock's many times. Chair 14. They called it Hemlock Ridge.!!!! That was 1978. You had to work to get there.
I grew up in Round Valley, knew Dave and Roma,like family.Are you Schober,as in Round Valley?
@@JEM133 Maybe? Family has a place in and near 🐟 Fish lake. In 78 Dave picked my friend and I up Hitch hicking from the main Lodge. He had a Maico in his van. We rode down too, old Mammoth road. He's a legend. Met a guy at county line Malibu that knew Dave. Gisele is my wife. I have not been to Mammoth in 25 years.
2:51 lol. Dude sitting RIGHT in the middle of stump alley hahahahaha. Get out of the way!
So sick and entertaining at same time. You properly shredded all day. And that last top to bottom run down climax with the commentary was 🔥 🔥 🔥.
Looking forward to your next adventure braddahman 🤙
Thank you John! Stoked you liked the video man
Have you thought about developing a way to attach your selfie stick to you ski pole to make it easier to carry?
I have not
Just a thought but your elevation could be affecting your heater. At different elevations, certain heaters need to be calibrated
True! The heater I have has a built in altimeter which apparently adjusts the air/fuel mixture automatically
Greatest season ever⛷️🏴☠️🦣
There's a tree... There's a tree.... There's a tree!!!! Oh, nevermind.........
No trees here
Im going to be back up in Mammoth Jan 13th -16th. I know you travel all around but if you happen to be back up there during that time hit me up. Snow should be fresh and I will get you a black pass for the day so you don't have to wait in any lines.
Another w video
Thanks homie
What are the goggles and poles you use? Love the black lenses!
I use zipline poles and goggles
How do you get those videos? I there someone skiing in front of you BACKWARDS?
your socialblade is insane this year
What’s that?
Your subscriber count graph. It's a website.
@@LucasCatania17 Cool to hear you don't know what it is. Genuinely honest videos coming out. All for the stoke!
Really enjoyed the series at Mammoth!!
Thanks bro!
Hey, love your videos, and I was wondering where did you park overnight at mammoth? Was it free? if not how much was it? Thanks in advance
Here in the stl area the local hill is making snow! And we get a snowstorm this week!
Awesome man!!
Quick question .. how many pair of boots do you have? If just 1, will you replace the liners in the middle of the season? Do you have a boot dryer in the van or maybe rotate through 2 pair? Just wondering. Stay safe ..
I just have 1 pair of boots. I don’t have a boot dryer or anything but honestly just the dryness of the van and the heater in here keeps them prettt dry for the next day!
Hold up, which app do you use to track skiing, would you also happen to know the “slopes” app
I use ski tracks. And yea I know what slopes is
What temp was it when you were there? Gelling in diesel fuel doesn't start to become a problem until -15 C which is kinda not that common in Mammoth.
it was -21C at night
@@LucasCatania17 wow that would do it!
What tracking app do you use, all the ones I use are super inaccurate
Ski tracks. Not sure if it’s any more accurate haha
Thanks so much I’ll check it out
