Probably the best opening day yet! Rippin’ groomers, rippin’ skiers and just all around good vibes!
Headed off to Breck today!
Living vicariously through you until my first early season turns 🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥
This makes me miss Vail (just a lil bit) and brings back some fun memories! This is the most stoke i’ve seen on an opening day vlog? Loved to see all the interactions w squad at Vail! What a nice day of skiing
haha i agree! stoke was super high but the skiing was just so good!
Love the video and even found me and my son in your video on one of you runs. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Vail.
so cool you are helping people understand skis and how to buy them. Very important to get ppl on the right equipment… to maximize their abilities. Great job
This guy ski'd more in in early November than I generally ski a whole season lol
Not gonna lie. been waiting to see which video is the first one of the season we see you run into Buckhouse! always fun watching yalls videos and seeing each other pop up!
I love watching you ski Lucas! What a beautiful bluebird Opening day! Your commentary is always great, too! Thank you!! 👏👏
love the videos format is 10/10 love how you add the ski tracks at the end😂
I love when you record like beautiful scenes some people the stare into the camera with complete disgust. Love the contest hope to see you some time on the slopes!
Sitting on the east coast binging your early season vids, thanks for spreading the stoke!
Yellow ski gear is better then the black, however you where Rocking the ski cloths last YEAR 😊
Opening day vail looks like mid season anywhere in the east... lol 🎉🎉
Glad I'm coming for a visit!!!! 😊
So many new noises in this one😂 You can tell you were having a blast out there, keep it up!🤙🏼
Cheeehuuu! Brah this viddy gets the juices flowing for a new season and great vibes 🙌
Great stuff Lucas! Heading to Vail on Nov 30 with my 10 year old son for 4 days of skiing. Some father - son bonding. With 3 other kids, I find it awesome to do a bit of 1 on 1 time. Seems you have fun skiing with your dad as well. Hope and pray for a storm or 2 before we get there...
Going to Vail the 9th-22nd FOR THE FIRST TIME from Florida 🤭😬😬😬🥶 I’ll see yous out there!!!! 🐊🎿🏂
Thanks for the data at the end. That which gets measured gets worked on.
Very "Lumiere" of you in this edit. Really giving a slice of what life on the slopes was like on Vail's opening day.
-Bob-
I bought the stoke elks because of you too! Can't wait for my first pow day
love that you post your stats. Its gives a good feel of what you are doing that day on the mountain. watching the two vids back to back (Vail then Breck). I was for certain you were carrying more speed on Ramshorn at Vail then 4oclock at Breck. It was close, but I was wrong :) Cant wait to get out West to ski this year!
Glad you like the stats! Not something I’d do normally but it helps wrap the day up.
Omg....I wanna do this.....Thx Bro !
LOVE the SK homie!
This was a great video! Just picked up my first armadas for this season partially due to you 😂
Early season Colorado trip is awesome, looks like Vail has those fast groomers we all love!
important to be around ppl!
Looked like an awesome day brother! I was wandering when you would run into JB!
While I may not like Vail resorts much as a company, I love skiing Vail, one of my top 3 resorts.
Looks like some good terrain! Nice skiing & stoke. Hope you had a good day! Loveland tomorrow?
thanks bro! gonna try to do loveland today! just dont wanna pay for a pass haha
@@LucasCatania17 I can get a $20 discount for you today and next time with a heads up I can get you a free pass, just not day of.
My second favorite ski resort in north America ( Vail ) First is Whistler Blackcomb
Did Vail have more open for opening day than keystone did? And more snow?
Cant wait for this sick video dude!!🔥
thanks man! they had two runs open compared to keystones one so id say it was pretty similar but vail was a bit steeper!
Family Learning Zone!
Lucas!!! Been diggin these opening day vids. Any plans to return to Canada this season? Ran into you last year at KHR and got to say hi in the parkin lot.
You didn’t miss much for opening day at solitude. Looks like you had a blast tho dang I’m absolutely STOKED for Utah to open up
Lol, I literally just check the snow report, and they have a 7" base. I didn't even realize it was open
Do you have a in depth video on the app you use? It’s a great addition to have cameos with your girl.
11:56 this camera angle/setup was pretty dope
@@LucasCatania17 nice, I know zero about video but watched the comparison video anyways… clearly didn’t retain anything lol but the snow looks like it’s at hyper speed in that view
Lucas, I would love to see you interview Mikaela Shiffrin. She was born in Vail and lives in Edwards. An on the mountain interview while you two are skiing together would be awesome.
Do you know how much I’d have to pay her to do that lol? Much less get in contact with her.
Howdy Lucas .. day 11 on 11/10 is awesome. About the same timeline as last year? Was hoping you were going to run into Sung Mi again. Tip of the hat to that guy!! Question about 70* overnight van temp. Is that just because the insulation is that good or do you run some sort of battery heater? Just wondering. There is always something joyful about perfect corduroy, even on the easiest rune. Saw your boots unbuckled for at least 1 run .. new this year? Stay safe dude!!
hey craig. had a few more days this time last year but hoping to get about 50 by xmas! i do have really solid insulation throughout the van but i have a diesel heater that will run all night and keep the van at whatever temperature i set!
@@LucasCatania17 ,, that's great, Lucas. 50 by XMas and sleeping at 70* .. let's go. The dude with the switchie Armadas was pretty funny ..
Hey man, how do you feel about leaving your van on the side of the road? Also, I hope you took your rock skis because the coverage doesn't look that deep.
I have no problem with leaving it there for the day. And coverage was fine to me for opening day!
South Korea!!!! totally RAD
“Family learning zone? Well, we are always learning - So….. we’ll take that”
I've seen Tara in a few of your videos now. Is she your sister? Girlfriend? Editor? I really liked the music selection in this one. Great video 🤙
You should use the old intro music
Bro you do realize that they have mountains in Korea right? The Winter Olympics were held there
It is probably too far but i think it would be funny if you did a east coast skiing day or trip
get some funny moments and gives a different perspective on skiing
If the channel ever hits 100,000 subscribers, we will be doing an east coast tour.
You 2 are hot and Vail is gorgeous. Don't waste that coffee....black gold. 👍👍👍
one of the reasons i don't ski VAIL is because of parking..
it sure looks like even off of the trails that they have a lot of snow
groomers arrrr gonna get ya... last year on those cold blue bird days when my fingers and toes were numb the groomers were sooooooooooooo good..
Cool video, bad title. Should have added in there you were making breakfast for everyone
A woman who will wait in the lodge for her man, is a woman worth marrying.
This one is in honor of Tara!
So I walked out that lonely truck stop
With my head hanging down
Wondering how in the hell I got myself into this mess
And more importantly, how I was going to get myself out of it
So I wrote a song for you, baby girl
And I hope when I return home
The locks ain't changed on the doors
And there's still a spot for me
On that big ol' California king-size bed
Vail sucks. Don’t go. As soon as you get speed they have signs and barricades slowing you down. And the terrain park sucks. They are liability scared and it shows
I love VAIL , had great skiing with my daughter and boyfriend, my heart is still at SQUAW ! ( I hate the name new change , and the logo is soooo ugly! ] 🎿⛷️🏂❄️⛄️
I made it to squaw (stupid changing names) 2015 but was too late to ski. But did ski Kirkwood and Heavenly loved them both! Utah has the best snow I feel!
To put it in perspective, In South Korea, although it’s beautiful in its own way, the most challenging one there is not as good as Killington in Vermont. So visiting any mountain on the west side of North America is a mind blowing experience. As a kid, I played ski/snowboard games on Nintendo and PC, and the backgrounds in those games in the display always made me wonder where those places could be. And, I wanted to visit those kind of places in real life. I’m guessing those ski games are modeled after some ski places in Colorado, whistler. When you play those games, it looks endless,flat, sparse tree groups, fallen logs, etc. one day, I aspire to visit Colorado ski resorts.
Well said. Thank you for sharing that.
I mean killington is pretty gnarly. The beast of the east
thank you lucas!
@@owen_som Killington is great for the East coast, but it really doesn't compare to some of the mountains out West. I say this living in New England dreaming of past and future vacations out West.
@zman7689 yup, it doesn't compare at all. Grew up on the east coast and moved out west. I won't even consider the east coast anymore. It's just not worth the money for someone who has to travel a few hours(MA to VT) and stay over night
The east coast is very gnarly though and formed me into the snow athlete I am today. East coast is way colder too
