Looking for inspiration for your next ski trip?

Check out Lumi Experiences Cross Country Ski Vacations. Lumi Experiences was founded by former New Moon staffer and Olympian Garrott Kuzzy. Garrott currently calls Innsbruck, Austria home and offers a number of cross country ski trips to the alps. Last winter, skiers on Lumi trips got to ski in the Dolomitenlauf Worldloppet event, cheer on the US Ski Team at the World Cup in Seefeld and ski in the Swiss Engadin Worldloppet.

On the Engadin trip, guests skied in the 50th anniversary of the Engadin Worldloppet in St Moritz, Switzerland, plus many other trails in the week before the event.

Hayward locals Jane & Mike Mandli, shortly after finishing the Dolomitenlauf in Austria. Jane got a podium in her age group and had time to put on warm clothes before cheering husband Mike across the finish line.

At the Seefeld World Cup, the last event before the 2018 Olympic Games, guests got a behind the scenes tour of the US Ski Team wax trailer with women’s team head coach Matt Whitcomb.

Guests also had the opportunity to cheer on Jessie Diggins and the US Ski Team in their last World Cup races before winning gold the 2018 Olympic Games.

The trips are not only about racing. Trips, such as this one to the Toblach in the Italian Dolomites, feature recreational skiing through some of the most scenic villages in the Alps.

The Lumi Experiences trips for 2019 are already full. Garrott is currently curating the 2020 itineraries and would love to hear where you want to go next.

Visit www.lumiexperiences.com or send an email (info@lumiexperiences.com) to get more information on upcoming trips and to let Garrott know where you would love to ski on your next vacation.
