pretty special day for me for many reasons. thank you for watching and happy holidays.

Ciao Bello I’m so jealous! I fractured my femur Jan2021 at Squaw CA and have a rod and screws . I’m healed but I think my downhill skiing days are are over ! I’m going to take up Cross country skiing 🎿 I live vicariously through your video sweetie ! I’m 70 years mature 😂treasure those moments with your parents life is short ❤

these poppa J tips are epic and hes a great teacher!

Great to see you on the mountain skiing with your parents. Memories to last a lifetime. Your skiing thru the trees is both exhilarating and frightening for me!

I appreciate Papa Joe’s critique. I always want to learn good technique. So thank him please. And I appreciate your videos and it has to be nice to be able to be out skiing with your parents. Enjoy.

I don't know about you but sometimes I can get fed up with my father's coaching 24/7 but man it sure is a blessing in disguise. Awesome to see ya'll making memories together! Late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

the 10:16-11:07 angle was probably the coolest shot you've ever done on this channel

One of the best of the year for many reasons, but definitely the family time is priceless! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your day... 🙌

I like the opening music select! Jupiter zone looks fun. Keep ripping, dude!

Papa Joe the Legend! Glad to see you able to share the mountain with those you love. Put some epoxy glue on that pole so it doesn't fly out again. Awesome day! Merry Christmas Stoke Squad!!!

Papa Joe straight up rippin out there!! They're gonna have to rename Bill's Chute to Joe's Chute soon. Happy holidays broski

Absolutely Loved this video Lucas! There's nothing like skiing with family! I hope you get so much more of that. Happy Holidays man!

More Joe Tips!! We need a mini side series of these all year long🤞🏻

What a day! Glad you got to enjoy it with fam!! Papa Joe is an insane skier!! I’m taking these tips to heart for sure.

i went skiing today and i better comment before i crash.. what a great day;) i would love to spend time with poppa joe and i would love to spend time with the racers at Copper Mountain.. a little with my background is that i started as a mogul skier and then got into racing.. i started back when there were straight skis and i would imagine that is when poppa joe started.. back then i learned to have soft skis, especially soft tails and then to lean back on the tails and that was for moguls and powder.. also to pretty much keep the legs together.. when i got into racing i was taught to separate the legs for better balance.. this would be the conversation that i would like to have with poppa joe.. the one thing that i would say with this that i noticed today while i was skiing is that if my legs are separated it is easier for me to "catch an edge" on the crud.. i think what i was getting out of what poppa joe was saying is if you have most of your weight (90-10 or 80-20) on one leg while that both legs are close it is easier to shift the weight from ski to ski and a lot easier to jump turn.. is that kind of what your take was on it? i am going to try it..

This was hilarious for me, my father is almost exactly the same as poppa joe and I can see the tendencies starting to appear in myself, my dad passed away earlier this year just a few days after I bought a gopro so this is the closest thing I could have gotten to filming with him. thanks man!

Lucas, I think many on here would welcome a papa joe tips video. Something like a 30 minutes uncut lesson with your insane cinematography tying in the tips with video to back it up. Would definitely learn a few things from it! His form is great and makes skiing look a bit more effortless (not to take away from how good of a skier you are, we can all learn a thing or two).

Yoooo! Luuucas!!! Come to Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, this season!! Way better snow at BS & BB, this season!!! YEAAAHH!!! STOKED!!!

Mom's a touper . Gotta remind folks these trees are not like the cartoon trees that just go "boingigig" they hurt if ya hit em. Thanks Joe for the tips.

Miss times like these with my family. Thanks for bringing back good memories Lucas.

When you keep speeding up the “Good morning…” line until it turns into mumbles 😂 Love the video as always. Happy holidays!

A very special vlog. So great when you can spend a special time with your parents. Treasure it.❄️💙

What a blessing to have Mom and Dad out on the slope with you Lucas definitely not something you do everyday.... 💕

When y mentioned Andrea I was so surprised. You mentioned before how tough divorce was for your family. I’m so glad for you that you were able to ski with them both. What a gift they gave to you. We have a Pineapple Express here at Crystal right now. I hope the snow will get reset in time for your visit. Merry Christmas.

That was awesome Lucas! Gotta love family :). Happy Holidays!

You’re a good son Lucas! Blessings to you and your family. This film is a keeper and will bring you much joy in the future!! Happy Holidays.

epic - "Are you videoing all this?" - those tree runs around 12:00 were crazy tight/fast, wow - glad you got to ski with your parents like that, happy holidays - oh yeah - hearing papa joe giggle like you do as he went past you at one point, very funny

Tight in there....thats an understatement! This video had me scared for you! Great video, and (papa Joe) going to watch that part again about moving uphill ski closer just before you make the turn. Stay out of the 🌳 🌲

You should do an injury prevention episode with Papa Joe. Happy holidays and bring on the atmospheric river...

Damn, ripping double black diamonds on the first day out of the season? Your family shreds to the bone, homie. Loved the tips from Pappa Joe. Happy holidays dude!

Wise advice from papa Joe, will definitely try and incorporate it into my skiing. Good stuff!

Watching a ski vlog from you on Christmas morning in bed when it’s snowing outside is a great present. Thanks for the stoke!! 🙂

Honestly videos like these are awesome. Got the whole family out and also we can get to see some of what your working on. Best video this season. Mostly skiing ...little vlogging makes a great video to watch!! Keep it up. Love the 360 cam footage!

Papa joe is a real one! I’m gonna be using his tips when I’m on the mountain tomorrow

Nice vid Lucas. Great to be able to ski with mom and dad Never got to ski with my dad but he did take us on many hunting trip to Colorado while growing up. Yup he's still doing great at 84! Cherish time spent with parents!

"are you videoing this whole thing" classic mom words. Some time well spent with the fam!

That is so mental…pick a ski hole in the trees aim and go…that takes crazy commitment…holy…good fucking job

Wish Pappa Joe could give me lessons, he’s so talented!! Happy holidays!!

Just joined the stoke squad and have already gone through about 75% of the content….LOVE THIS STUFF! Have sent it around to all my buddies!

How blessed you are, skiing with the 2 people who love you more than anyone on Earth! Best Christmas EVER, Lucas! 🙏🎁🎄

9:51. Couldn't resist, eh? 😁 Two things... 1: I guess your dad put it eloquently why the knobs don't know what they are talking about with "A-frame". It only matters if your weighting and riding that uphill ski, putting you in the backseat. We used to teach stem christies back in the day, where you initiated the turn by stepping the uphill ski out and weighting that inside edge. I still use it from time to time in certain situations, so to the idiots who think all A-frame is bad, shove off. 2: So glad to see you ski with your parents. It's been 6 years since I've been able too and with them and I don't know if I ever will again. Enjoy these times brother and Merry Christmas.

so many great videos Lucas. This was one of my faves because you are with your parents. And, thanks for showing me how to launch into the Portuguese gap.

very nice. brings back memories of long ago ski trips with my family. precious times. happy holidays indeed. enjoy.

Skiing with your father and mother! What a great memory. Glad you soaked it in.

Sick seeing you ski with your mom, merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays Lucas!! Thanks for all the awesome videos. Pappa Joe rocks!!!!! When my friend and I are going up the town lift we always say this lift is really high off the snow.

Tell Papa Joe thanks for the free lessons, hope you had a Merry Christmas! Keep up the great content my guy 👍🏻

YEW YEW YEW, dope video lucas! I always love the vids with poppa joe and the tips were amazing! Happy Holidays!

Great shots of Joe on Bill's, Lucas! Joe is a BADASS! An inspiration to us sexagenarians! I'm 64 and now I know that it's definitely the time for me to make a resolution to hit the gym so I can make a skiing resurgence in the spring here in Colorado. I'm so happy that you got a pleasant moment in time experiencing a truly great present from your folks. All the best to the Catania family - have a blessed and prosperous new year!

Like Ryan said. There is nothing like skiing with family. Especially at Xmas and the Holiday Season. Loved iit

My wife is a cert instructor and I get "tips" all the time as well :) Seriously tho, it does help. When I "a-frame" it's usually from me riding the backseat a little on steeper terrain so that uphill tail can't release as easily and tuck in.

E P I C … Through and through! Happy for you bro! You do you 🤘 Thanks for the STOKE ! Mad respect and appreciation 🤘 Gravy 😊

What an awesome day for you man, Merry Christmas!

Papa Joe giving ski school lessons to his boy.

The ski instructor in me loved the hell out of this video. Great tips from Papa Joe!! Also sent you some ski clips hope you were able to get them!

It was an amazing video! No if and or buts needed, even when not trying you still killed it! 😂

Man what a special day! So cool they both came out for you! Those tips in the bumps are what I needed. I don’t always ski as clean as I’d like to in the bumps and I’m gonna go give that a shot today. Merry Christmas. 🎄

Keep doing what your doing lucas love the videos!

So good i had to watch it twice....what a memory!

Just great to see another tape enjoying the entire year love the action....

interesting pointers with the A frame and shifting weight... I never knew, I was never given tips or pointers. I just skied, im okay at it. Okemo Tomorrow. LETS GOOOOOO

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family Lucas🎅🏻🎄⛷️ Sometimes those moments that give us the most joy come at the most unexpected time. I’m happy for you my friend!

Glad to see u got a good present! As we did too, thx

Have loved watching your videos. It's always a special time to ski with family. I don't know if you will see this (or have time to respond), but it seems you ski at Park City a ton and would love to know the best way to traverse the mountain (as a second-year skier)? I have done mostly greens and can get down pretty much most blues (just takes longer). I never really know what Green/Blue means since most mountains all treat them differently. Once again, thanks for the videos - they are fun to watch.

Wow! In the first 38 seconds you said mounTain!! I’ve been watching your channel all season, thank you it really sounds great! I only wish you’d ski “Squaw” palisades more it’s the only I ever ski other than Alta for one two week vacation at the Alta lodge! Love your channel!!!!

Merry Christmas! Glad you got to ski w your mom and dad. Your dad is like a level 3 examiner instructor doing all the movement analysis w just a quick look! Can’t get anything past them. Hope it’s fun at DV today

Sweet Christmas present for sure! Thanks bro, Grady

What an amazing video thank you for sharing Lucas! Happy Holidays!

Poppa Joe’s the best. Giving heart.

Nice seeing some wholesome family footage, congrats on the getting the band together again after so long. Great videos and have a wonderful new year!

Happy holidays!! Family time!! Priceless

Merry Chris and happy holidays,Cheers on a great video Lucas

Very cool seeing you ski with your parents. Special day indeed. My wife, son and I are traveling to Utah from Ca and skiing at Alta mid week. Suppose to snowing during the week so fingers crossed that the road condition will be okay to travel to the slopes. Anyways, your video through the tress are pretty epic. Stay safe and can't wait to see your next video

Merry Christmas Lucas, that was another awesome production. Great ski tips as always from Master Van Builder Joe! Stay ripping!

Papppa Joe is the man

snagged an armada hat for Christmas because of you, this thing is sick!

What a special Christmas present!

Thank you Lucas I love the vids keep up the good work

Gotta love Poppa joe ❤

PAPA JOE IS RIGHT!! KEEP SKIING STRONG BUT SLIDE THAT HEEL IN FROM YOUR UPHILL SKI.....YEWWWWWWWW!

i’m at park city right now, too bad i didn’t see you on the mountain! just realized we were on opposite sides of the mountain, i was at the canyons side

Low key star of the channel is POPPA JOE!!! 😃

Merry Christmas stoke squad. Stoke mom didn't look too stoked in the tight trees. Awesome to get to do that after all those years though. Not sure why I assumed papa Joe was your step dad. Joe and Andrea are your bio parents? Keep up the good work buddy, nice video as always.

Sick run. Tight one thru those thickets

another great video as always!!!!!

Good to meet you today at DV!

thats so awesome i was there too didn’t see you cuz i only did a couple runs before xmas dinner

Poppa Joe needs his own KZfaq channel.

Merry Christmas!🎄

You should be at park City this week, I'll be there Monday through Wednesday first time 😊

Legend!

Merry Christmas Lucas!

Jet Fuel + Turbo Boosters = Papa Joe

Cool stuff, but I was told a couple of years ago that the new style of skiing is to try and have some weight on your uphill ski as to save your legs from getting blasted by distributing the forces. I certainly learned to have all if not most of my weight on downhill ski, so not sure if you'd heard anything about this?

I saw u driving through Marin !!

Love it!! Is there a way to get on the papa Joe ski list, need some pointers myself

Good times man

I would love to ski with my parents and my son .My mother's knees are finish and my father is saying that he's to old for sking but he walk like 3 milles a day ,7 days a week...Happy holidays to you and your familly.

5:30 papa schools kiddo on parallel which i been wondering about a bit, but the edits are so good i havnt said anything.. 😘 get used to that inside edge lots of power in it when you need it

dang u almost ran into a tree at 4.02 but u know the area so well
