these mountains are no joke. what a beautiful day in the sierra mountains. thank you for your continued support on this journey.
The thing with the sierra’s is the topography goes from sea level to the alpine heights , so fog will happen , maybe you should bring a spare lens just in case . Looked awesome !!!
If you are looking to go to sugar bowl go on Saturday this weekend that is when they open crows for the first time of the year there won’t be a soul there and I might see you
It’s kt22 with no line
How do you do slow motion wit the 360 camera in premier pro?
Just texted with Casey Willax, he's open to showing you around the Tahoe mountains and doing a video collab... you can probably hit him up on Facebook or I can relay a message if you can't get him on Facebook. Let me know so I can delete this message.
Ya'll see how hard this man is working for us to put out vids like this daily? GORGEOUS
I appreciate you man.
121's on fresh pow is like watching something out of National Geographic for us ice coasters!
Hahah it was so sick man
100”+ projected for stevens pass and some of the PNW next week, hoping to see you out in the lift lines…
Awesome enjoy!!
Thanks for sharing another great story..."Storm Chaser heads to Alpine Meadows".
Thanks joe!
Wow the B-Roll cinematics at 9:37. What a beautiful looking day, skiing was just the cherry on top!
Absolutely! Skiing is always the bonus
Yeah buddy! Good to see you get out to the lake again and sample some of our local goodness. Epic days after the storm, at least after some epic driveway clearing. :D
Haha yes man. Always an adventure chasing the storms out here
What a beautiful day to ski. Watching you was equally enoyable. I prefer this than watching you struggle. This was pure grace on skis.
Happy you got to enjoy some sunshine. Alpine Meadows is my favorite resort in NA. Great skiing and best panorama.
For sure! Stoked I finally got to see what it looked like haha
This type of skiing is my dream. This quality of the ski conditions (and video of course!) is just crazy good. That pow looked awesome. What a day!
Stoked dude! Gotta get a quality video to match the quality snow!
I enjoy the vague names of the runs you take when you’re not sure of the trails. Keep up the fun vids! You’re doing great
Haha sometimes it’s too tough to decipher what the run actually is
7:35 made me cry out "YES!". What a beautiful day. I know B-Roll takes up so much time, but it really was on point and made for such a great video today. Love it.
Thanks Eric! Stoke you appreciate the broll 🙌🏽
No one has better product than Lucas. What an amazing day at alpine meadows. I’ve been here a bunch but never seen it look this good. You seriously have to get insanely lucky or track a storm to get it this good.
Thanks mark! It was such a beautiful day up there. Doesn’t get much better than this!
Wow.
What a beautiful day. The colors are so great in those conditions.
Nice catch.
Thank you for watching!
This is what we needed! Thanks for another deep day on the mountain!
Thanks for watching dude
Appreciate the beautiful views with skiing! Enjoy ✌️
Thanks for watching breaux
@@LucasCatania17 Happy to be along for the ride Lucas. Damn, what a great season already. You deserve… EPIC. Stay safe, consider plastic plates/cups and “don’t forget to bring multiple lenses (for goggles)” -You said that in one of your episodes. 😉🙏🤘👑
Awesome POW day in my old backyard. Time for you to go to Heavenly. Great Video Lucas
Thanks Jim! Heading there soon
Bringing back so many memories and there was still a lot or mountain you didn't get to. I can remember my first time skiing Estelle Bowl down to where I had no idea where I was and coming out on the road and walking 15 minutes up just to get to the base lifts again. It can definitely get dicey if you don't know where you're going but I'm glad you got to experience some of that vibe .. it's very special!!
Thanks craig! What an incredible place!
@@LucasCatania17 Thanks for the reply, Lucas .. stay safe out there!
I can’t wait for your Mammoth and Big Bear videos. I learned to ski on those mountains. Big part of my childhood. Thanks Lucas!
Thanks dude! We’ll see if we make it out to big bear
Hell yes, Lucas! So glad to see you gettin' some of the goods in the local neighborhood; I love the appreciation you show for the journey. I just completed Day 9 on the mountain this season and am stoked off our collective experience. What you got at @10:00 is incredible footage and is something to really remember. Great video, man!
Thank you bro! Day 9 let’s go!! Good work dude
Siiiicccck.
Stoked you got to see Tahoe in its glory, its a magical place
Thanks dude! Stoked I was able to experience this
Awesome video! I was there as well, nothing beats Alpine Meadows on a powder day. Everything off of Summit was firing!!!
Yes man seriously! So good out there
Incredibly beautiful!! It looked like you were floating down the mountain with those Whitewalkers.
That cloud was scary. It reminded me of skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland. Started at the top where is was beautiful & clear, but then skied down into a cloud and couldn’t see your hand in front of you. Scary af.
Wow what a time!
Such a sick and beautiful day not to mention the pow! Sick day!
Thanks bro!
You definitely get Tahoe and the vibe. I live here and get over 100 days every year for 10 years. Yesterday 12/12/22 I was at Mt Rose, amazing POW day!! I avoid Squaw and Alpine on weekends and Pow days. You can't beat Tahoe!! Can't wait for your Mammoth trip, that place is sick!!
Hell yea man Tahoe is sick!
This Tahoe videos are bangers. I need another pow ski and those whitewalkers are calling my name. Ha
Hell yea dude stoked you enjoy them. The WW are sick
Another awesome video, Lucas! And a good reminder on how quickly the conditions can change in the mountains.
Thank you Jeff! The mountains are no place to mess around
Sick dude! Stay safe.
Thanks man. Will do
And that is such a day. I prefer storm days with fresh refills but a bluebird is right up there.
For sure! Both are awesome!!
Great skiing down d eight chute.....great work editing and skiing......I'll be stoked to join the stoke squad on my first day......dude. ..you ripped alpine!
Thank you pat! Appreciate that 🙌🏽
It seems that all your efforts what ever turn you take it’s unreal It’s truly night and day to last year. Waiting here in New England for all that snow to at least start up. Just a shout out that it’s been a joy to watch.
thanks so much thomas! sending snow your way
Sick, sick, vlog Lucas! You really captured the true essance of a Sierra snow storm, thank you.
Thank you for watching Paul
so close to 30k 😮 i remember watching you in season 1 with just over 1k. So happy to see the channel grow lucas!
Wild man’ thanks for being apart of the stoke for so long!!
Incredible scenery and awesome skiing! Thanks for putting in the work.
Thanks for watching Brian!
I’m going here this weekend and so happy to see your videos before I get there!! Absolutely obsessed. They are some of the best UA-cam videos I’ve seen, reminding me of Casey Neistat during his prime vlogging era… but for skiing
Casey is a huge influence in my work man so thank you 🙏🏽
Great video as always!! I’ll be in mammoth this weekend hope to see you there!
Hell yea man might be there!
loved the video, those conditions look awesome. Watching these get me so stoked to go skiing.
Hell yea man I’m glad they get you stoked!!
Cool vid I ski at squaw vally and here all the time it’s cool to see you at my home town.
Yay Alpine Meadows! You'll like Mammoth too if you haven't been yet. You can ski chair 23 for the rest of your life and not really get bored. Caution: you might never want to leave. And the spring skiing is totally awesome.
Haha sweet. On my way there now!
@@LucasCatania17 sigh, I'm jealous. 😎
Another sick day..."itsallgoodman aka Saul Goodman" Alpine Meadows ranks up there as one of my favorites!
Sick dude!! What an awesome resort
Once again that didn't suck 😆 . Nice powder back in PC BTW. My legs! Shit mine ache just watching.
Love it!!
Haha awesome man hopefully you got some
Great footage Lucas, tomorrow the back side may open, you only saw about a 3rd of the mountain!.
Thank you! So much more to explore
Kirkwood for sure. One of my favs. Really enjoying your videos and experiences.
Yes stoked to check it out 🙌🏽
Insane! The sequence that starts at 9:35 is a masterpiece!
Thank you Dan! Stoked you liked it
You make it look easy but just living in a van during big storms is a struggle.
Stoked to see you enjoyed Alpine Meadows, I don't get there much anymore but that's where I learned to ski. Looking forward to the next leg of the trip.
thank you! definitely not easy to be in a van during these dumps but they get easier with experience.
I’ve been enjoying your amazing videos for three seasons. They inspired me to get back into skiing last winter. The high quality of your content and the insane quantity are so impressive! Keep up the good work!!!
That’s what it’s all about man. Thanks for watching for 3 seasons!! Here’s to 3 more
Had to come back and watch this episode after the season recap episode…. One of your best Lucas
AMAAAAAAAAAZING video Lucas so much pow and loved the shoot at about 7:08 ish crazy b roll at 10:00 those clouds do have some nerve
Haha thanks duden
What a tale of two ski days all at the same time. Blue bird and then no vis, crazy ! B role is so sick bro
Thanks bro! A great day either way!
So sick Lucas! The whitewalkers looked so perfect for this day
They were man! A great ski
The D chute is the D8 chute because a D8 catipiller bulldoze rolled over all the way down this was in the 60ds. I work as a lift operator in the 60ds. It was a blast and BOBO S. was the Boss and a good one. I still have a pair of skies with there logo on them. I got them from the rental guy. For the views you should ski Homewood it looks like you could ski right into the lake.
Oh wow had no idea! Crazy story haha
I am so pumped. Coming up from Alabama to show Snow Bird whats up!! I bought my rustler 9 used only 3 times off facebook marketplace last month!! I am in Bama and I switched the location to salt lake City. He thought I was a scam at first. My buddy lives in SLC and he had a buddy who lives in park city right down the road from the seller. Just need boots and getting them fitted day one when I get to utah. Love your Videos. Bro the Van life scene for skiers is sick and clearly its really blown up over the last few years. If I still lived in Idaho I would legit get one just like yours. Blue sky days with powder is Heaven. Ski Hard Ski Fun Ski Safe !
lets goo dude. hopefulyl ill see you out on the mountain one day
@@LucasCatania17 That would be dope!!
What an insanely gorgeous pow day bro thank you for sharing this with us. You always come away with amazing stuff from your visits to Tahoe!!
Thank you homie
what a insane pow day that was i am so jealous keep up the good work on the vids they are making me so stoked to go skiing every weekend🤘🤘
Nice dude!!! Get out there
Fantastic, I caught myself drooling on that first run down. Powder is usually pretty heavy in California but that looked really good Lucas. You are rockin it this season. Keep it up!
Thank you steve! So far the snow has actually been great and not super heavy
I am feeling it Lucas! Your skiing and filming...Stoked ! T-17 and I'm there! Great vid! Haha
Let’s goo Tony stoked for you
Straight sending it. Gnarly stuff! Love! 💚💙❄️
Thank you!!
@@LucasCatania17 😎 yeee
Pretty jealous with those conditions. I needed this content today. Stoke is +9000
Awesome! Stoke is high
Crazy storm! Over here in Vermont maybe we’ll get a foot of it 🙏🏻 😂
Don’t apologize for being on a powcation…just enjoy man you’ve earned it
I appreciate that bro
Sick, just plain sick!!! Incredibly beautiful footage!! You have to get tired of reading all these types of comments but honestly Lucas it’s insane the quality vids you put out. Love the ‘hell with it’ attitude you had with the chute everyone was contemplating on! Also, I think your black lenses are cursed. Just stick with the blue or purple lol! Safe travels!
Haha thanks Shawn. It never gets old hearing words of encouragement and support so I appreciate your genuine attitude and sincerity with the channel!
So lucky you got to ski that! See you In The live stream
Yessir see you tomorrow
When you come to visit my Sierra's ALWAYS keep your lens changes in your pack..!!
We are close to the ocean so the weather will be different in the afternoon than it is in the morning.
Almost always clouds-up late.
Love seeing it everyday! thanks for the stoke man.
Appreciate you watching man
I live in the wrong side of the USA This day looks dope pow pow days . Love the vids.
Thank you bon! Hopefully some of the snow makes it your way
Thank you for your hard work bro, really dope!
Thanks dude!
9:55 dude it looks like you're actually surfing. What a beautiful place and a sick ski day 💪
Dude that’s what it felt like out there with so much snow. Thanks bro
You just made me passionate about skiing. Thank you sir
Thank you for watching sir
All that hard work paid off.
What a day! Thank you
Yes man haha so great to reap the benefits
These Vlogs are just insane! Keep up the amazing work
Appreciate that Josh
so well edited especially for daily videos, each vid feels like a full story
Appreciate that grant!!
This was freaking epic, Lucas! You're the dude!!
Thank you bro!
This video legit looked like a movie! 😍 Great job again!
That’s awesome! Thanks marie!
I live in Truckee! Wish I could have joined ya. Glad you enjoyed the mountains!
Just saw the end, skip heavenly go to Mammoth!!
Thanks man. It’s great out there
Definitely did yourself right by checking out Estelle/Beaver. I’ll be heading down to Mammoth from Reno on Friday for a day trip, maybe see you there!
Sooo good ! Keep up the good work and good vibes Lucas !
Thank you ludovic
another great video. One cut I like that you do sometimes - look back up after a good run, it shows the steepness of the run that the view from your helmet cam in front of your face doesn't capture. On that first "wolverine bowl" - that looked great, was hoping you would stop and turn around to show it from somewhere down it. The Beaver Bowl , specifically 11:55 going through that group of trees, geesh, crazy
thanks man! il ltry to show the face more so you can get an idea of what it looks like. was a great day out there!
You are living the dream and sharing it with the world. Maybe we will see you at KIRKWOOD on Thursday.
Thank you Brian!
I love your parks, the ones.
love the vibes
Appreciate that dude
30K subs is insane! Been watching since the original park city vlogs. Can’t wait to see what the channel looks like by the end of the ski season
Appreciate that cole! Thanks for being an OG
Between California and Utah these storms don't even make sense to me YEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW
Yewww me either haha
The Beauty wow Thank you 👊🏾
Thank you!
Place is one of the gnarliest in Tahoe, especially in the pacific bowl, keyhole, scott, sherwood cliffs, n grouse rock areas. You gotta check em all out!
I was at Sugar Bowl all day on 12/12. The Mt Judah side of the mountain had no lines all day and I was still cutting through untracked patches until late in the afternoon. The Mt Lincoln side was busier, but with short lines on Judah I didn't bother to go fight the crowd. Waiting in line does give you a few minutes to rest your legs between runs, but on a super fluffy powder day who wants to rest?
Sounds super rad my man
Awesome stuff dude!! Love all your content. You inspired me to get a set of armadas, so I’m currently awaiting some ARV96s. Honey bear design is sooo sick. Going to reach out to them and let them know you were the deciding factor. Fingers crossed for future sponsorship!! Look forward to the rest of the season!
Let’s goo dude. The 96 is my second favorite design. That bear is so rad
I just got them, they've been sitting in my room waiting for the snow to fall on the East Coast ! So stocked
@@coreyleibner77 also a east coast skier! Do you go to sugar or beech mountain?
@@593kawasaki im out in Canada hahah but I would like to ski those mountains soon!
I wish you could’ve skied sierra at Tahoe before the fire torched the resort. Sierra is the Tahoe locals spot off I-50 (sugar bowl for I-80). That old growth forest in west bowl (RIP) huckleberry canyon would’ve given you some of the very best tree skiing and boulders delight.
might still check it out if i have time
Great Job Lucas ⛷️❄️❄️
Thanks steve!
Lucas! Love the video man keep shredding🤙🏼
Thanks man!
I hope you got to Kirkwood sometime they got some gnarly terrain there
For sure man
I can't wait for a heavenly or kirkwood video from you that's gonna be sick!
Same dude I’m stoked
Some guys got all the luck.... 😂 I'm still jello
😂😂
Amazing how quickly those runs get tracked out. I think I'd start earlier in the morning but that's just me.
For sure. Just too much going on with uploading the video from the day before to be our first thing.
Everywhere in Tahoe gets tracked out in 45 minutes max on a Pow day!!
Wow you really crushing it today oh my lord Great lines you were strong
Appreciate that jack
So glad you got a great day at Alpine. It's a killer mountain.
Sounds like you'll be missing SugarBowl this time around... gotta hit it one of these days though! Not quite the vert of Palisades and Alpine, but there's some plenty gnarly stuff to play on.
Thanks Brian! Hit sugar bowl today actually haha
@@LucasCatania17 Oh great! Can't wait to see it in the morning!
you should go to sundance again, it got 15 inches in the past 2 days and they opened up lots more of the mountain!
That’s awesome man
Unreal day!🔥
For sure!!
So hyped when I saw the title, for sure my favorite mountain
Hell yea dude it’s so sick
thats SICK !
Stoked!!
what up lucas! i would recommend bringing a less dark lens and having it in your backpack, its what i do and it works great when some clouds move in
I’ll just use a hybrid lens
