what an incredible day out there! mad props to the whole keystone crew for providing such amazing early season skiing! felt so good to get some proper turns in! WP opening day tomorrow! 🙌🏽
Maybe it’s me, but you seem to skiing with your skis closer together and more parallel. Beautiful views. Thanks for sharing. You are living the dream for us. One thing, perhaps you can tell us about what skis you’ve selected for the day and why. Keep up the great work.
@@jameslynch2372when you ski with your skis parallel it gives you more control and mobility. For example when you stop your skis it will be better if your skis are together meaning a easier more effiecent stop. Another example is when turning when your skis are parallel its like cutting through the snow which makes you turn faster and better.
@@azerierl3928 I have been a fan of Lucas and his videos for several years. I guess I should have been more clear about my comment. It was that this season (as opposed to prior years) he is skiing more parallel and with his skis closer together. It was not a discussion about skiing best practices.
I have dipped in and out of your content in the past, but have to say your recent episodes are next level fantastic. The views, production and camera angles are brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Schoolmarm is such a great way to warm up. Gotta stay to the sides, esp when the snow isn't plentiful. But the sides always have good snow to ski. Safe travels
Heading out to keystone to for the first time ever tomorrow and can’t be any more excited! Ohio season isn’t for another month and half, but just getting on snow is gonna be awesome!
I feel like Keystone is a more legit opening day. A-Basin's opening run is pretty short in comparison so it feels like a technical win. It's hard to complain about 2 miles of Schoolmarm - and it is a run that mere mortals can ski down. I hope Keystone opens more runs quickly - makes sense to open Spring Dipper since they both go to Montezuma and it splits the traffic so not everyone is on Schoolmarm. Doing a mid-week opening is nice since all the normals (like me) have still have a day job can't come until the weekend. I'm also hoping they open Scout soon - I want to get my wife out there soon.
You look like you're obviously hauling pretty good down the green slope. We're fairly inexpereinced East Coast skiiers. Is it possible to maintain a slower speed with minimal difficulty if you so choose? We have a trip planned but are hestitating based on our skill levels (skiied about 5 times). Plan to do a few pracitce trips on East Coast beforehand just to try to iron some things out...
Salomon boots are ALWAYS several days of pain followed by years of dependable enjoyment.. And I love the Chemex! You should look into the Ottomatic machine that you can set and forget while you do other prep... but how did I miss the introduction of your Luna partner?
Those Armadas seem like they run like a fine M6. Hope you have fun in our backyard. Just got some new Black Crows from out your way.....Level 9 Sports. Wow...wow...wow!!! I can see why they're one of the hottest ski companies!! Take care!!
I will be skiing Keystone on Nov 10th & 11th. Saw you across the lot last year and missed an opportunity to say hello. Hopefully I get the opportunity this year.
Would love to know what speed you were cruising on Schoolmarm. You look like you had some good pace. Also, I was curious to your skiing style. Are you always thinking about keeping your knees together? When I focus too hard on keep my knees together I feel my tails slip out just a bit. Odd
Hey how wide are your skis? They look to be kinda wide, but seem to do just fine on groomers? Thx for the videos Lucas! Getting me pumped up for the season for sure. It’s warm today in the PNW….just lost our base with a toasty rainstorm…unfortunately. Ikon pass will allow me to make it out that way soon tho!
Love coming home from school and watching your vid from the day! Also, the stream was hilarious last night! @Levi Warr beat me to the rizz joke. I thought about it, but wasn’t sure if that was appropriate to say with your girl right there 😂
what an incredible day out there! mad props to the whole keystone crew for providing such amazing early season skiing!
felt so good to get some proper turns in! WP opening day tomorrow! 🙌🏽
How was the hike park looking? Trying to get an idea of the features that are set.

When are we going to learn more about your lady friend. 😊

I am also going to keystone, you made me even more excited to go to keystone, my favorite runs are peru and Montezuma!
I have dipped in and out of your content in the past, but have to say your recent episodes are next level fantastic. The views, production and camera angles are brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I agree! A Basin is just a race to say they open first but keystone definitely has the better skiing.
Good to see you outside on Snow again 👌🏾
Ageee!
Yeah man! Looked like a good day to be on the mountain !
yes it was!!
getting all the love on the hill... LETS GOOOOOOOO
hahah wild
Keystone is a key place to visit on my bucket list!
its a fun place man!
Awesome!! Snow looks great indeed!
yes it was!!
2:45 Luis cantina causes an avalanche by dropping it low for us. You’re welcome
hahah omfg
The views are just amazing....looked incredible!
yes the views are the best part man!
You’re spoiling us again this year Lucas (and making us jealous)! The shot at 9:40 from behind was awesome.
thanks man!
Hey it’s great to see you out there!!! I always love watching these daily video before I go to sleep keep it up!
Heck yeah man thanks for watching!
It’s raining/snowing more up here in Whitefish, mountain getting hit with heavy snow, getting so stoked!🔥 can’t wait to see the vid
lets go man! winter is on its way!
Whitefish is a fun mountain to ski on !
Hyped for this vlog! Love to see the notification so early in the morning for a fresh vlog
haha thanks regina! appreciate the support as always - stoked i was able to turn this around!
Stoke Squad, I live in Central Canada and we have leaves on our trees!! Lucas, you are sending me into a deep pre-ski depression.
ah man its meant to raise the stoke, not depress!
Snow looks amazing!
it was man - super nice for early season!
I'm starting to watch the weather. Just waiting for some dumpage. Snow tires and ski box installation next week on the road machine.
Nice man 😤 awesome upgrades
Back again to watch the daily Lucas video 💪🏼💪🏼
appreciate that man
Awesome first runs of the season!
Who's your snowboard alternative on youtube? Can't find anyone with this same vibe.
2:27 My epic pass photo is super old, too. The website doesn't let me change it nor do they ask to take a new photo when I've asked for a replacement.
haha guess we're gonna have our old photos forever

So jealous! Can’t wait for snow over here on the west coast
nice!!
Start of the season got me hype!!!!!!!
heck yeah!
Salomon boots are ALWAYS several days of pain followed by years of dependable enjoyment.. And I love the Chemex! You should look into the Ottomatic machine that you can set and forget while you do other prep... but how did I miss the introduction of your Luna partner?
Oo I will look into that! She was on the live stream this week haha
Got up 15mins early to watch before work. Didn’t disappoint, you’re crushing tue daily vlogs. Hope you enjoy the day off, well earned! Yeww
thanks brother! have a good day out there man.
love your work Lucas. I’m stuck in Oz with at this stage no plans to make it over this season so i’m living vicariously your life 😂
Ah bummer 🙌🏽 next year?
Any plans to go overseas to ski? Switzerland, Austria, etc?
no plans but would love to if given the opportunity!
He loves chutes and green groomers. Why Lucas is the best.
doesnt matter to me!
Awesome day bro, man here we are, another great ski season is here!! Stoke squad representing in Colorado, love to see it!
yessir man cant wait for utah skiing
I love the intro where you clearly just rolled out of bed! Going to take me a while to get used to the new kit - great video as always.
haha yeah man i was so tired
I groomed that night. So stoked to see shredders on cord!!!!!!!!
Love the enthusiasm! Hyping up for the season, can’t wait to get out of Denver at into the mountains!
Yes man! Have fun
Those Armadas seem like they run like a fine M6. Hope you have fun in our backyard. Just got some new Black Crows from out your way.....Level 9 Sports. Wow...wow...wow!!! I can see why they're one of the hottest ski companies!! Take care!!
yeah the armadas have been doing well so far!!
Loved the video bro! I gotta say that new suit looks dope!
thanks dog! i'm really digging the suit also!
I’m so exited for the Bergman bowl opening up! . Great vid by the way!
Great video! Keystone didn't seem as crowded as ABasin was. You hitting Winter Park's or Eldora's open day on Friday?
I’m at WP opening day and will be at eldora on Saturday!
I groomed the whole run that night while the other 2 Kats were building stuff. So sick to watch, I will till that run until it’s softer than pow.
Doing my first turns on skis at keystone this Sunday! Super stoked to try out some downhill skiing.
Love to hear that. Have fun!
Theese videos are keeping me stoked!!
Heck yeah!!
What’s that lens cover you put on to make the footage picture change? Excuse my ignorance lol
its called an ND filter to slow down the shutter speed and add some more realistic motion blur!
its super funny watching your camera mess up your goggles sometimes lol. Can't wait to go skiing!
Haha yeah it happens!
Living in southern NJ, this gets me stoked when I can't get out there
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks, man!
I will be skiing Keystone on Nov 10th & 11th. Saw you across the lot last year and missed an opportunity to say hello. Hopefully I get the opportunity this year.
Yes I might be there the 11th!
That place looks pretty fun. I would sure like to check out Colorado sometime. Thanks Lucas.
Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks Travis! I’m planning on it
Would love to know what speed you were cruising on Schoolmarm. You look like you had some good pace. Also, I was curious to your skiing style. Are you always thinking about keeping your knees together? When I focus too hard on keep my knees together I feel my tails slip out just a bit. Odd
I don’t really think about it I would say! Just kinda second nature for me when I ski I guess!
Welcome back!

What's a "mow en"?
😂
🌨️
❄️
⛷️
🏂
I skied there multiple times over the last 2yrs, we moved back to the South and I feel like I made a BIG mistake :( Enjoy
ahh sorry to hear that my friend. im sure the south is great too though!
WHAT GOOGLES DO YOU HAVE???
Zipline podium XT
How the heck is Colorado open already?! Utah resorts are in NO hurry at all to open
the resorts in CO are a good bit higher in elevation than UT!
Higher elevation so colder temps to make snow. Utah does get more snow overall though.
Was wondering if you ever were going to enjoy groomers ! 😅😊
Early season are for groomers!
Can you please teach me your ski technique
I don’t really know if I could teach it to be honest haha
Expect an Eldora video tomorrow or this weekend!
be there saturday
