Highlights from Happy Dads

It’s always a blast to host parents and their children on Lumi Experiences trips. We’ve had several travel with us over the years. With Father’s Day this Sunday, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of these fun memories:

Jon, Tolly and Erik

Brothers Jon and Erik traveled with their dad Tolly on the Lumi trip to the Norwegian Birkebeiner. They had a blast spending time together, skiing the trails and even took a day away from the group to check out their family records in the village of Rena, where the Birken Worldloppet ski marathon starts. Highlights from the trip?

“Skiing at Holmenkollen, Birken and Lillehammer finish area with my Dad and Brother.” - Jon

Jeff and Kevin

Jeff traveled with his son Kevin to Austria & Italy on Lumi’s Dolomitenlauf & Marcialonga trip. Here they are in the Val di Fiemme ski stadium, site of the cross-country ski events for the 2026 Olympic Games, as they prepare for the Marcialonga.

“The Lumi trip could be the best trip I have ever taken… I had the rare opportunity to have our son, Kevin, join me on this trip. Kevin, being a Doctor and raising a young family, his time is valuable to him. We could have not had a better time together. In fact after the Birkie in 2020, he made it into the Elite Classic wave for next year, and credits our Lumi Experience trip for it. He simply said.....I know how the train for the Birkie now...take a Lumi trip. Thank you for a wonderful experience.” - Jeff

Kristy and Bill

Kristy, an owner of New Moon Ski Shop, traveled with her dad Bill on the Lumi trip to the 2023 World Championships in Planica, Slovenia. Bill speaks fluent Slovenian and Kristy spent time in Slovenia (then Yugoslavia) with her dad when she was growing up. A few highlights?

“Everything - it was such a special trip with wonderful people.” - Kristy

Matt and Bill

Bill and his son Matt traveled to the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld, Austria with Lumi. Here they are rodeling (Austria’s version of sledding) with Lumi trip leader Holly in-between watching world-class racing.

“It was the trip of a lifetime. Everything ran smoothly, the people, food, and skiing were amazing.” - Matt

Egan and Chris

Egan traveled with his parents Chris and Judy, also owners of New Moon Ski Shop, to the 2023 World Championships in Planica, Slovenia. It was Egan’s first trip to Europe and he got to add stamps from Italy and Slovenia to his passport. Here they are at the Planica Nordic Center cheering Jessie Diggins and the US Team to victory in the 10 km Freestyle event.

“Amazing experience in all respects - local history, cusine, the race events, skiing and other outdoor activities - all were completely fulfilling” - Chris
