disclaimer: there isn't a ton of skiing in this video. it took me longer than i expected to get to the mountain and the hike itself took over an hour from start to finish! so stoked i finally got up here! i truly love traveling and skiing. the whole experience is so impactful and valuable. LIVE STREAM TOMORROW 615 MST!
Love your skiing, narration (esp. during the runs!), excitement, music and video skills! Yes that's the iconic Maroon Bells at 12:02 and 14:42. Glad you slowed down to check on the fallen skier. Well done!!
Recently discovered your channel. Also recently moved to Aspen for work. The busses can definitely be tricky as I ride the bus from Glenwood past the brush creek park and ride to aspen I can’t help but get a chuckle.
Nice breakfast. Yum! I can’t believe you got this edit out so quick after the trip! There used to be a snow cat that u can ride a part of the way up for the hike…maybe stopped operation due to Covid? Those stats of Highland Peak and the Bowl look about same to Taos but there’s a lift to Kachina Peak (currently moguled up) and I’m riding it this morning…stoked! Enjoying all your hard work on creating great content to get myself stoked up for my own ski adventures!
Wasn't expecting an episode with Gordon Ramsay, damn that food looked good! Incredible views from the top of Highland Peak... Thanks for taking us with you
Don't sweat it about not much skiing my dude, always loving the content. It's great that I'm able to live through your videos to see what it's like skiing out west being on the east coast. Peace!
mitchell thank you brother. that means a lot to me. i always want to provide the most entertaining and most valuable content for you guys so i get stressed when i feel like that isnt being met.
A breakfast I recommend for you is a toad in a hole, you cut a hole in a piece of bread and cook the egg in the hole, it’s really good and I think you should try it. Love the videos, super underrated :))
Wonderful. Totally worth watching. Brown rice is better than white for you; has more vitamins and minerals for recovery than white. Just takes longer to cook. Is it uncomfortable hiking in those ski boots?
@@LucasCatania17 Cool. Haven't skied in a long time - live in a warm climate now with short hills. Would you ever consider what I see advertised as randonee or ski-touring equipment for how you ski?
Super impressed with all the extra work you put in setting up the cameras and then picking them up afterwards!! Would’ve liked to see your dinner plate 😉!! Any snacks for the day? Regards!!
Next time you go to Aspen you have to get Hickory house ribs the food there is amazing and really affordable compared to the other restaurants in Aspen
@@LucasCatania17 Yeah no problem I was only there for a bit but I was wondering if you got my clip because I don’t know if I sent it to the right email. I just wanted to make sure
@@LucasCatania17 hey Lucas I just checked the stream and I realized you did show the clip thanks so much it was from Killington Vermont. Glad you appreciated the scenery
The views at Aspen Highlands are so magnificent that you shouldn't, for a second, think your viewers judge your videos by the "amt. of time spent skiing." It is the ENTIRE experience we enjoy with you! My twin & I skied at the 'Highlands' a few times, & it's definitely a winner for both its AMAZING views and for its laidback atmosphere. (We were first there when there was only 1 or 2 buildings at the bottom!...think one was called The Merry-go-round.) P.S. Being a foodie, I loooove your new 'elevated' cooking. ASPARAGUS w/bacon! An egg 'n potato 'n bacon breakfast sautéed in all the good stuff our arteries crave! You're young so enjoy it! I'm old(er) and STILL enjoy it! Bwahahahaha! Am looking forward to your Snowmass video next week -- fun area for ALL levels of skiers! PPS. Glad you & Luna take a nite time break when you are 'dozing/driving' late nite up to a ski area. I shudder at the times I drove 'round midnite on the NY Thruway (from NYC bound for N.E. ski areas) half-conscious! 😵 THANKS as always for sharing your ski adventures with us!
thank you alice! its relieving to hear that you enjoy the videos regardless of the amount of skiing! thanks for always sharing your stories on what the resorts used to be like. i love hearing about them! cheers!
I used to ski over 100 days a season. I still get out about 30 to 40 times a season. I ski the east coast. Haven’t taken a trip out west in three years. Watching your videos gives me a new goal… Buy a van and use my vacation time from work to hit the road!! It will take me a few years but it will happen.
Just missed you this weekend. What a great weekend in Aspen. The video does not do justice to how steep the runs in Higlands Bowl and Steeplechase bowl really are. Glad you made the hike.
I did the highland bowl just a little over a month ago. Well worth it, it is absolutely stunning And I’m glad you were able to experience that. After doing that I will 100% do it again sometime. Awesome vid man, you mix the vlog and ski vibe perfect.
Ski vids with a touch of cooking tutorials? Hell yes. Always enjoy your posts my man! Still contemplating Snowbird sometime end of Feb/early March. Have they gotten any more snow out there?? Checked this week and no precip in the forecast. 😕
Hey Lucas! Another great video with unbelievable views! So you hiked up there with all those people the first time yet you skied down alone. Where did everyone else go??
You should try the dakine Heli 20L backpack. It is about the size of the gopro one and holds your skis easily on the sides. It isn't too expensive either.
I find FATMAP's super helpful in understanding the terrain and it has descriptions which are also super helpful when you have a limited time at the resort.
On paper 800' over 1.2 miles is not a bad climb. Twice at 12,000' elevation with all your ski gear is a whole different ball game. Pooped me out just watching at my kitchen table :) . I'd assume that's the biggest in resort climb available in N America. Very cool!! Another great Tuesday morning video!!
Ooooof Aspen Highlands looks amaaaaazing! Love how you switched between the Hero Max and 10 perspectives. Thx as always! Btw highly recommend giving a try with the Max Lens Mod for the Hero 10. I’ve been using it and it’s pretty amazing. Captures a wider view so you should be able to see your ski tips and horizon leveling ads more stability. If you check my vlogs you can see it in action on Episodes 3 & 4. You and others totally motivated me to make a channel … just for fun really …. Thx for that.
Thanks brother! Appreciate you checking it out as always! Definitely have had a few recommendations for the max lens mod! I use ND filters on my GoPro so I’m torn because I love the look that the ND gives haha!
Should've subbed last season idk what i was thinking waiting this long. But this quality is unmatched! Get lucky to see shots like this in professionally produced GoPro vids.
I can just tell you’re gonna blow up the quality of these edits is unmatched
thanks so much brother.

The shot of Marroon Bells in the background was epic.
Thanks Connor! That’s my favorite.
Love hiking and skiing. Quality is always better then quantity!
Me too ted! So stoked we spent the day hiking!
Really inspirational seeing someone on the 9-5 grind get out and still get after it as hard as you do awesome to see man
thanks brother. just trying to make the most of it all.
There’s e edits are crazy and the devotion too it’s such a long hike
Recently discovered your channel. Also recently moved to Aspen for work. The busses can definitely be tricky as I ride the bus from Glenwood past the brush creek park and ride to aspen I can’t help but get a chuckle.
Looked like an Everest Expedition with everyone climbing up and the flags! Good you did it! Killer view...Nice!
haha yeah definitely! crazy amount of people!
Favorite mountain in the world!
wow nice!!
Damn Lucas, if you ever get bored you could open a breakfast bar, somewhere! Your brekkys are the best before a big day of skiing.
hahha maybe that'll be my retirement gig!
That feeling knowing its your last time on top of a run you love is always interesting. Glad you had fun and great video as always lucas!
Thank you Adi! 🙏🏽
That breakfast is amazing, I’m hearing out to gore. And What I use for breakfast is to cook my eggs with the bacon fat or grease.
I put hearing and not heading
Awesome!! Have fun at gore!
Nice breakfast. Yum! I can’t believe you got this edit out so quick after the trip! There used to be a snow cat that u can ride a part of the way up for the hike…maybe stopped operation due to Covid? Those stats of Highland Peak and the Bowl look about same to Taos but there’s a lift to Kachina Peak (currently moguled up) and I’m riding it this morning…stoked! Enjoying all your hard work on creating great content to get myself stoked up for my own ski adventures!
how was kachina peak! that thing looks so gnarly and steep!
Idk y but I am cracking up of when he said the powder on Full Curl was delicious
you should head over to Winter park later this week and into the weekend. The resort is amazing and there is some good snow in the forecast
i would love to! back in park city though. gotta work for the week!
Favorite skiing channel on TH-cam by far
Thanks so much bro!
Wasn't expecting an episode with Gordon Ramsay, damn that food looked good! Incredible views from the top of Highland Peak... Thanks for taking us with you
haha thanks peter! it was truly spectacular! thanks for taking the time to watch!!

Thanks Emilio! I bring a few protein bars with me!
Next time you go to Aspen you have to get Hickory house ribs the food there is amazing and really affordable compared to the other restaurants in Aspen
thanks brother! i will keep that in mind!
Next level on the breakfast game! Highlands has now just been added to the list...great work!
Thanks scott! Definitely worth putting it on your list man!
Did highland bowl last week
Luvd it
It’s awesome!
Great Vid the edits and quality makes the video so much better than it is already. Can't wait for the stream tonight.
thanks julian! thanks for coming by the stream!

Just some serious skiing this video! Just seen the Ikon pass also works in Europe, Kitzbuhel in Austria, some mega skiing there!
matt thank you brother! man i was thinking about going overseas and using my ikon and epic in europe!
I used to ski over 100 days a season. I still get out about 30 to 40 times a season. I ski the east coast. Haven’t taken a trip out west in three years. Watching your videos gives me a new goal…

ah bummer man. it was a beautiful weekend! video never does it justice but im glad youve been there in person to know. thanks man!
I did the highland bowl just a little over a month ago. Well worth it, it is absolutely stunning And I’m glad you were able to experience that. After doing that I will 100% do it again sometime. Awesome vid man, you mix the vlog and ski vibe perfect.
thanks very much man! the hike to highlands bowl was incredible!
did it in December that year (2021) right after that big snowstorm. Waist deep powder. By far the most amount of powder I have ever skied in.
Glad the breakfast sandwich came out well!! So many variations possible. Loved the video as always.
true that man!! it was so good! thanks for watching!
I just found your channel ad I’m hooked! Love all the gear and quality of the video. Very informative too. Stoked. 🤙🏻
awesome man im stoked you like it! welcome!!
Great documentary of what the Highlands experience is all about.
thanks brian! really appreciate that.
Thanks for doing that, as I loved seeing what I missed! I wanted to do it, but didn't get to a couple years ago and still regret it!!!
youre welcome man! you definitely should try it out next time you are at highlands!
So sick dude!! That hike is so sick!!
haha thanks bro!!
I would love to see you ski at Crested Butte man! I know you would tear it up, plus it has sick terrain!
yes im planning on getting out there this year!

Aye I appreciate you so much 🙏🏽
the quality of ur vids are insane idk how u don’t get more views

Those views from the top of the hike were seriously cracking dude! Great vid as always
They really were man! Beautiful visibility and spectacular views out to the maroon bells! Thanks homie!
That sandwich 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
So good!
What a beautiful day of skiing that was! Looking forward to the Snowmass video. Also, both your breakfast AND dinner looked AMAZING!!!
Thanks Liam! Snowmass video will be out Friday!
@@LucasCatania17 Could you ski the powderhorn run for me there? It's a run I've always wanted to do but cant find vids of it online!
such good energy in this video, the stoke is high for sure!!! as always the quality is INSANELY good!!
thanks so much hannah! stoked for your trip out west!!
favorite ski channel hands down. stoke coming from another homosapien named Lucas!
aye thanks brother! from one lucas to another!
Lucas will you do a powder mountain video this season?
eh maybe but no plans to do one!
You should get slopes for your apple watch it is a great ski tracker
ahh i heard thats a good one! will check it out
Lucas you should try the steep gullies at Arapahoe Basin super steep but super fun and chill chutes
ive done them before! used to live in colorado and skiied a basin all the time!
@@LucasCatania17 nice
Subscribed. Love this series and your energy. Thanks for bringing all of us along with you! Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! I appreciate the support and welcome to the squad!
Keep up the great quality videos and your channel will blow up in no time!
That would be amazing. Thank you 🙏🏽
You're a true weekend warrior my friend!!! Another awesome vid bro thanks for sharing the STOKE
Thank you brother!! Appreciate all your support man.
WOW what a view from up there. Awesome runs Lucas! Thanks for taking us along
Brother thank you 🙏🏽
Hi everyone, I just want to say have a great day and get out and shred!
thanks brother!! you too man!
Ski vids with a touch of cooking tutorials? Hell yes. Always enjoy your posts my man! Still contemplating Snowbird sometime end of Feb/early March. Have they gotten any more snow out there?? Checked this week and no precip in the forecast. 😕
thanks man! no snow here since christmas really! might get a dusting next week but no considerable storm in the forecast unfortunately!
I’m from Australia and over there we always put the bar down so is there a reason why you don’t
Great video. As an older skier I would rather hike and ski some serious steeps with good snow than most terrain. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks for doing this; makes me want to get back to Aspen.
thanks brent!! definitely should get back there man!
That was sick. Nice work. What a spot.
thank you!!
Epic shot of you walking across the bells!
Thanks chin! Knew you would appreciate that one hha
that's a fun hike!!!
yes! its beautiful!
Awesome cinematics! Can't wait to ski in Colorado this spring
Awesome man!
Great video! This place looks super epic, I need to check it out now!
thanks beckham! it definitely is super epic! highly recommend!
great video loving the edits keep goin man
i appreciate that thomas - will do!
I like the hike skiing more than simply skiing. I don't feel like the video lacks for having hiked to the peaks.
glad to hear that!
Hey Lucas! Another great video with unbelievable views! So you hiked up there with all those people the first time yet you skied down alone. Where did everyone else go??
haha good point! im not really sure! they were all still chillen at the top!
It would be cool if you added added your slope app page for each run so it showed the altitude and the top speed for each of ur runs
Yea maybe! I don’t use slopes.
If you like steep, come to Taos. You can camo in parking lot for $25
Would love to! It’s just very far for a weekend trip for me from Salt Lake City.
You should try the dakine Heli 20L backpack. It is about the size of the gopro one and holds your skis easily on the sides. It isn't too expensive either.
ah thank you! i will look that up!
What go pro do you use, I'm thinking about getting one. Your vids are sick btw, makes me wanna get out there
gopro max and hero 10!
great video. going there this weekend. can't wait to ski the bowl
Good lookin' breakfast sammy! Holy sheep! 12,392. I'm all in on the Yogurt Squad. LOL Thanks again for sharing the stoke. Let's goooo!
Let’s go!! Thanks Ron! Yogurt fund hahaha
looks like the line to the top of Everest. Thanks Lucas
thanks jim! the first go up there was a ton of people haha!
Breakfast looked crazy!
ahh thanks brother!!
Great video and that sandwich looks epic! Yum!
Thanks Lou! The sandwich was delicious!
Those sheep were wild
hah yeah super cool wasnt it?
Awesome to see you used my breakfast recommendation with the hash browns! Hope you enjoyed it!
It was awesome man! Thanks for sharing that!
I find FATMAP's super helpful in understanding the terrain and it has descriptions which are also super helpful when you have a limited time at the resort.
ah thank you! i will check it out!
Great video. Enjoyed the scenery. I see a skiing cookbook in your further.
Haha thanks roger! A ski cookbook that’s legit!
What a dream! Those conditions looked awesome!
Thanks man! Conditions were great for lack of snow!
Where’d you have mote fun, deer valley or aspen highlands
oo good question - probably aspen highlands!
Nice !!! 🔥🔥🔥

Exactly right! Doesn’t look super challenging on paper but at elevation in the snow with gear on your back is another story!

Dang that hike looked narly
it was man!
Couldn't' imagine paying aspen lift ticket prices and still having to hike up like this lmao
I have the ikon pass
The breakfast stoke is real!!
haha so much breakfast stoke bro!
For me , I loved every second ; especially the mountain top views . I am glad you made it home safely .
Thanks so much John! 🙏🏽
Nice!! Our group did the hike on Friday, we had great snow. Well worth the 45 minutes.
That’s awesome man! It was definitely worth the haunt to the top!
Should've subbed last season idk what i was thinking waiting this long. But this quality is unmatched! Get lucky to see shots like this in professionally produced GoPro vids.
Thanks so much dude. Stoked you made the jump to subscribe this season!
nicee.. i was in aspen last year and the headwalls in snowmass were sick
Sick dude! Next video is from the head wall at Snowmass actually!
Do you have merch?
I do not man. Trying to grow the channel a bit more first!
@@LucasCatania17 well definitely gonna be on the lookout
@@LucasCatania17 well whenever you do start making merch I would love to support!!!
@@LucasCatania17 Big enough yet? ;)
Lol how do u even find these comments
Hey Lucas, Highland peak is beautiful!!! Your videos are always entertaining to me! That sandwich looked good but watch the grease intake! LOL!!!
Haha thanks Barbara! And you are right about the grease intake!
Great Vid as always
thanks josh!
""Let's Go!" - Lucas Catania" - Tom Brady
hahahhah
One thing about a Gopro is how much it flattens everything out. These runs have a lot more pitch than his camera shows.
Bro your breakfast is insane how do u make it that good?
bro im just a chef idk what to tell you
Great content, just waiting for one of these to blow tf up!
Haha that would be crazy!
