You may have already heard that Lumi will be hosting a trip to the 2024 Minneapolis World Cup. As we prepare for the trip, memories from the 2023 Nordic World Championships in Planica, Slovenia keep coming back.

Two Lumi Experiences groups were trailside in Planica this past winter when Jessie Diggins won the US's first-ever individual gold medal at the World Championships and when Jessie and Julia Kern took home bronze in the Team Sprint.

This February, we look forward to watching Jessie, Julia, and others on the US team compete in the United States for the first time since 2001 on our new (this winter only!) Minneapolis World Cup trip.

Check out the short CBS clip (above) of Jessie and why she’s so excited for the races to be hosted by the Loppet Foundation in Minneapolis’ Wirth Park. (If you watch closely enough, you'll see guests on the Lumi trip to the 2023 Nordic World Championships in the video!)

More from Jessie’s interview with CBS:

"Minnesota is where I learned how to ski. This is where I raced my last junior nationals race. It has a lot of very special significance and memories for me... I think it's an opportunity to grow this sport, to really bring some magic and excitement back to the community that raised me and has supported me long before any Olympic medals... Now all these kids and families will get a chance to experience the sport, live, in person."
