Ciao Bello ! I’m living vicariously through you, I’m 70 fractured my femur skiing last year - no more down hill skiing for me going take up cross country ¥ love your videos !
Exactly!! Anytime in the mountains is a gift --- skiing is the bonus!! Great skiing video and what a perfect spot to overnight!! Six skiing days before November!!! Yi Ha.
I appreciate you taking one for the team out there in this early season to share/report conditions. It's nice to know I can be a liiiiiitle more patient before heading up to shred. Any day in the mountains is a good day though 💪
Yeah I have an ikon pass and live in SoCal so I was wondering how mammoth would look opening day. Probably look something like this so I can hold off a little longer
Loved the vid!! Me and my friends were the "squad" you mentioned at 8:30, didn't even realize it was you who flew past us. Formal apologies for laying around and being lazy!
Loved the drone shots coming up Berthoud Pass. So beautiful. As an avid Winter Park skier I will say early season is mehh in terms of terrain. Once the Jane side of the mountain opens it’s a lot more enjoyable. Would love to show you the zones if you make back out later this winter when more is open. Most runs off Challenger chair are a win, some way more than others though.
thanks zach! i was fortunate enough to experience the mary jane side for a day last year but that certainly isnt enough time. might make it back during the heart of the season to get a true taste of the resort.
@@LucasCatania17 I tried to schedule my Fridays free to go skiing while attending CSU in the late ‘70’s. The Jane (Mary Jane) was my favorite. I’d get to the Corona Lot early and be the first on the Challenger chair, then the last one off at the end of the day. It was a slooow double-chair lift back then and had looong lines on weekends. Tkt was $8. A lot of $ for me back then, but well worth it! ⛷ right to my car at day’s end. You have a great channel! BTW, your Pop rocks!
Just came across your Winter Park video and it brought back memories. WP was my husband’s local ski resort growing up and my brother in law taught skiing there. He insisted on giving me a lesson one time which was…interesting. Thanks for the memories, Lucas! PS: you need a non slip, absorbent, machine washable indoor mat for Luna.
The funnel and the "alley" is what we called the spot that forces skiers.onto that cat track,,.try escorting a group of 10 ski school kids down that area on a weekend or holiday..oh I still loved that job! 😎😎
Another beautiful resort. Outstanding filming! You have a gift of capturing the incredible beauty and essence of each unique resort and the surrounding mountains in which they occupy! I so enjoy your vids man! The Luna and Lucas express…..onward and upward brother!!
Hey Lucas, why don't you get a small area rug by the front. That way you can absorb as much water, snow, ice, and dirt. Try and get one of those washable area carpet. Just a thought 🤔.
A couple of years ago my brother and I were on a massive ski trip going from mountain to mountain on the Ikon pass, skied everywhere from Big Sky to Taos, and on that trip we got really lucky with a massive dump of snow right before we got to Winter Park, deepest snow of our whole trip, 3-4 feet of untouched snow in certain spots. It is to this day the deepest snow I've had the opporutnity to ski, being an east coaster you're lucky if you get 1-2 feet of fresh pow once in a blue moon. Might be heading out west again this winter, hope to see you out there!
Hey there Lucas, happy to see you skiing so early this season. I am looking forward to the slopes opening soon here at the JHMR! Wishing you an amazing ski season!
Go back to WP in February when you can go on the Panoramic Lift. You get access to the Cirix back bowls which are top tier or Pano area which starts above the tree line
Worked there for 10 years as an instructor and LOVED the diverse terrain and awesome snow conditions! So much terrain reminded me of my trails in Vermont growing up❄️❄️🌨️🎉🎉
Watching these videos has gotten me so hype for winter. Could you maybe give some advice for skiing on ice as an intermediate skier? Great videos as always, keep it up!
Be sure to check out the Eagle Wind territory so next time you go to Winter Park (if it’s open) it’s usually a hidden powder stash but there is a long catwalk at the end
I was there man and hoping I would see you. This is our home mountain. Will be there tomorrow. Love seeing this! Keep it rolling. p.s. I got the Montec Artic Camo.
What’s up Lucas! We were the ones yelling at you all day and kept saying hi. We also saw you in the parking lot. Hope to see you at other resorts one day
Had one of the best tree riding days of my life there at the eagle wind area. Needs pow for that though. Pretty amazing you've got 6 days already in october!
i just drive and fly to get those shots. no other way really. and its definitely a lot of extra time. wouldnt call it hassle as i enjoy getting those shots!
WP can be sick, when The Cirque is open. Or on a pow day. It has a little bit of everything. But less lapable expert terrain. Abasin, Crested Butte, or Copper are the way to go for big mountain riding! IMO. Appreciate the trail conditions update too!
You are living the life my friend! Super sick camp spot! How long are you on this Colorado trip? I'll be there Thanksgiving week, but only have an Epic Pass this year so Keystone, Breck, and Vail is on the menu. I may take a side trip to A- Basin one day depending on what terrain they have open. Keep up rolling out the great vids, I look forward to them.
Another great video! Two questions... 1. Is your Go Pro Max in 360 mode or Hero mode when its mounted on your helmet? 2. What extension pole do you use? I noticed there is an extension pole in the shadow... Thanks!
Also love that you brought the Luna along - before moving to PC WPK was our home mountain. Our Sprinter that you inspired me to build out is out away for winter but was AWESOME for cross country transit to our boat on east coast. Good stuff and we’ll follow along from the Caribbean when we get down there.
Do you use some mic for your gopro? Because honestly your sound quality is good till the point you start skiing. I’ve bought media mod for my gopro plus have a plan to buy dji mic for good sound quality. Nice videos though, keep it up! I hope there will be some winter here in 🇺🇦 too, so I will be able to do some skiing and vlogging even despite the situation we have (worst case scenario I’m preparing for - some skitouring+freeride).
@@LucasCatania17 yes, but according to your video description you also use hero10, which allows external mics. I personally decided to keep max just for some 360 shoots (especially when the weather is sunny), but will use my new hero11 for most of the action.
Ah yes for sure. I like using the max for headcam shots because it can get a lot wider than the hero’s can. The hero’s on the headcam just can’t capture the skis and poles enough in my opinion
Hi lucas I have really enjoyed your videos over the past few years and as someone who is still in school I was wondering how you make your winter lifestyle possible. Is youtube your main source of income or do you have another job with flexible hours. Side note: these opening-day vids have been getting me really hyped up for the ski season and winter in general and I always appreciate the cinematics and vlogging even before and after skiing.
Hey! I had a normal 9-5 job for the past 5 years or so. I would only ski on the weekends and do UA-cam on the side. 4 years later and I have finally committed to making UA-cam my main source of income. Hope this helps!
Seeing West coasters call hardpack powder ice infuriates me as an East coaster. That's not icy. That's slick hardpack. Difficult to edge but very possible, especially on ski's with 2 effective edges
@@LucasCatania17 love being able to watch someone take some turns! Over here on the east coast with WARM weather. I know the snow will be here soon. Stoked for west coasters to be out early!!! But CARVE THAT HARDPAAAACK 🤙🏽
Those trails of mountain horizons seem to be ungroomed; what suckratude...boiler plate opening....ahhh, perchance to snow and relieve us of our misery. Groom the stinkin tarmac...geesch...!!
I'm sure someone else will explain it better. WP was my home mountain for +10 years, yet I only ever skied WP 3 times. The Mary Jane side of the mountain is literally the only area worth riding. There really is no reason to ski WP early season.
You camera work is insane…honestly you could do promo vids for the places you visit. Where do you find the beats??? You are always pairing phenom tunes … awesome start to 22-23…
![Shilo Sanders Hits First Barrel At Winter Park Resort [MIC’D UP]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2A3P67grMbY/mqdefault.jpg)
This was winter park’s earliest opening date on record! Stoked I was able to be apart of it and enjoy another beautiful day in the mountains!
Or get something like a swiffer thats compact and pretty easy to store
@@fomo8563 I was gonna say doormat. Until you switch shoes
do u ever get worried people may not see u in the camo?
Ciao Bello ! I’m living vicariously through you, I’m 70 fractured my femur skiing last year - no more down hill skiing for me going take up cross country ¥ love your videos !
so sorry to hear that. its nice that you are still about to get out via cross country. speedy recovery my friend.
Exactly!! Anytime in the mountains is a gift --- skiing is the bonus!!
Great skiing video and what a perfect spot to overnight!!
Six skiing days before November!!!
Yi Ha.
Haha yup! Was an awesome day and ended even better with some solitude. Thanks for watching!!
Awesome camp spot at the end there. Thanks for the constant great content, Lucas. Cheers to another fun season!
Thank you for taking the time to watch it! Truly appreciate it.
Arctic Camo!!
Thats Jon Olssons' look brah! :) I like it
thanks man!
Remember finding your channel last season and loved the snow vlogs, excited to see the season again and more vlogs!
Thank you!!
I appreciate you taking one for the team out there in this early season to share/report conditions. It's nice to know I can be a liiiiiitle more patient before heading up to shred. Any day in the mountains is a good day though 💪

Mary Jane fanatics are 100% out there. Winter Park is the spot for a lot of families to shred.
looks like an awesome place. the village was cool too
Can you try Arizona snow bowl in flagstaff? It’s my favorite place to snow board, It has plenty of expert double black terrain, try it out
i was thinking about going down there! will see what happens

Appreciate you watching bro

@@LucasCatania17 would be legendary! much love!
That a pretty nice view from your living room.
Well played sir.
Yup can’t beat it!!

Awesome yeah definitely would love to go back!
these videos literally keep me going pls dont ever stop them
lets go man im stoked
Another great video! For the mess, not dirt-proof, but a mat would be great help :)
yes haha great point
I absolutely love how often youve been posting recently, keep it up
I’m gonna try bro!
Nice I’m going to Winter Park in Jan., I’ll be doing those exact runs. Great videos as always
Have fun!! Thank you!
Thank you for making high quality videos of the places I love
my pleasure!!
Worked there for 10 years as an instructor and LOVED the diverse terrain and awesome snow conditions! So much terrain reminded me of my trails in Vermont growing up❄️❄️🌨️🎉🎉
Awesome man!!
Dude cranking out the videos. Love it
trying to man
Great camera work. Ill be there in march.
awesome!! stoked for you
went there last year! it was amazing. my first time skiing! thanks for the filming and content you do!!😁
Thank you miles!
Thank you miles!
Car camping in summit county during the winter is a grind but if you stay off tiger road between breck and dillion you can find some peace and quiet
Yeah it’s been tough but we’ve been making it work!
It was great to meet you on the snow!
Hell yea man great to meet you!
Great content!
thank you!
Drone shots, Van setup, videos are on another level
Appreciate that 🙏🏽
Watching these videos has gotten me so hype for winter. Could you maybe give some advice for skiing on ice as an intermediate skier? Great videos as always, keep it up!
Thank you! I could try haha I’m not the best teacher
Be sure to check out the Eagle Wind territory so next time you go to Winter Park (if it’s open) it’s usually a hidden powder stash but there is a long catwalk at the end
a few people have recommended that eagle wind area!
I was there man and hoping I would see you. This is our home mountain.
Will be there tomorrow.
Love seeing this! Keep it rolling.
p.s. I got the Montec Artic Camo.
nice dude! what a spot for your home mountain! enjoy my friend.
What’s up Lucas! We were the ones yelling at you all day and kept saying hi. We also saw you in the parking lot. Hope to see you at other resorts one day
yo dude! nice meeting you and your homies. thanks for saying hello!
Were the lines long? I have not skied yet this season.
Nope not really!
Awesome videos and production patience as always. Especially enjoyed the scratchy ice noise; allows me to relate to your experience!! haha. Shred!
thanks mark! feeling like an east coaster lately!
Had one of the best tree riding days of my life there at the eagle wind area. Needs pow for that though. Pretty amazing you've got 6 days already in october!
I heard that area is awesome! Gonna try to get back there this year
I always enjoy the chiobani yogurt part 💪
Exciting times ahead!
Yessir!!
Winter Park is beautiful great job showing it off
Yeah man I was super impressed!
I’m getting so hyped for this season watching these videos 🤙
lets gooo nice man
Edit: it was a banger! And a really beautiful spot
I’m going to watch this later but already know is going to be a banger
aye thanks bro!
What was the second pair of skis I saw when you were taking out the Armada’s? You holding out on us?
those are my super old armada zeros. nothing to see there. i have the goodies coming
Nice look forward to see them! 🎿
That cat track gave me so much anxiety 🤣😅 glad you made it out of there in one piece!
6/10 no shower sequence 🤦🏻😡
Haha cat tracks and boarders are a bad recipe. My bad papi will incorporate more shower scenes rated XXX
@@LucasCatania17 LOL nah save it for your OnlySkis 🤣 I don't want to take the blame for your demonetization
Looks like you’re well on your way to hit >100 days on the mountains this season, awesome
we'll see man that would be sick!
Best video yet, keep it up.
appreciate that nate.
How do you get the drone shots when you’re driving and how much extra time/hassle is it to set up the camera for 3rd person shots?
i just drive and fly to get those shots. no other way really. and its definitely a lot of extra time. wouldnt call it hassle as i enjoy getting those shots!
Nice bro, any day on the mountain is a great day
Exactly bro!
These opening day vids have been sick!
I appreciate that homie!
Brian head opens Friday. It’s kinda crazy how early these places are opening up.
Yeah awesome first UT resort to open!
At winter park we call that last cat track the gube tube and it is almost always a death trap haha
Ah dude it’s no joke!
Loving the daily vlogs!
I’m glad dude!
The switch skiing is looking good! Wish I could do that!
thanks mark! first day going in that direction haha
“A bowling alley of impending doom” great description
haha just what came to mind
Free close-in parking! Yea! They used to let folks camp in lot G across the road. Maybe not anymore. Give it a try next time.
For sure I heard that was the unofficial book docking spot but like the solace of the forest!
That butter 3 was so greasy!
hahaha thats the way we like it
WP can be sick, when The Cirque is open. Or on a pow day. It has a little bit of everything. But less lapable expert terrain. Abasin, Crested Butte, or Copper are the way to go for big mountain riding! IMO. Appreciate the trail conditions update too!
Sounds good man! Thanks for the info on where to go. Still need to check out copper!
Hike Bethod Pass for some great powder runs.
Sweet thanks
Hope to see you this year!
I’d love to get back to Aspen this year!
⛷🤙 yeww!!
yewwww
Im lovin these
Good man I’m glad!

thanks jon! im headed back to UT for the weekend on friday and then will be back to hit up the next wave of resorts.
It's funny you call that cat track a bowling alley because the cat track under Bonanza is nicknamed The Bowling Alley
haha really? i didnt know that. thats what they feel like!

thanks bro! its called around the way - iso indies
nice meeting ya on the chair! 🙏
Hell yeah you too man!
in general,,,can a snowboard stop faster than regular ski's?
im sure its about the same!
i cant wait to get on that snow. literally watching in the middle of class but my race team starts training in 3 weeks
That is awesome man. Pay attention in class 💪🏼
Quite the overnight spot
sure was man!

what up!
These early openings are a mixed bag. It’s nice to be open but the skiing isn’t usually very good on green runs and man made snow.
