trip raffle program for clubs

Would your ski club like to host a Lumi trip raffle to support your trails and operations? Lumi Experiences is excited to offer an effective collaboration with ski clubs nationwide.

Club Spotlight: Teacup Nordic | Mount Hood, Oregon

In November 2023, Teacup Nordic President reached out to Lumi Experiences about raffling a Lumi trip at their winter fundraising event. We were honored to receive this request and offered the ski club a significantly discounted trip for the raffle. The club successfully sold $100 raffle tickets to 100 Teacup Nordic members, totaling $10,000.

The winner of the raffle — Emilie Blevins, one of Teacup’s volunteer coaches — traveled on Lumi’s France Transju’ trip in 2025. The proceeds raised helped provide a necessary bridge for the organization to continue its operations when ticket sales were down at the beginning of a low snow season. Teacup Nordic is already promoting the raffle to its members again for the 2026/27 ski season.

Interested? Reach out below to connect with Lumi Founder Garrott Kuzzy to share more about your club’s needs.

 
 
“Hi Garrott, we have a winner! One of Teacup’s volunteer coaches won the raffle and will be in touch about selecting her trip. She is SO excited and we are pumped that such an awesome member of the community gets to experience the Lumi trip!”
— Stephanie Chase, Teacup Nordic Fundraiser Organizer

Featured Trips

 

Lumi specializes in small group experiences for people who love cross country skiing, whether you’ve been skiing for years or traveling for the first time.

As an official tour operator of the Worldloppet, an organization of cross country ski marathons around the world, many Lumi trips include the opportunity to participate in a Worldloppet event like the Transju’ in France or the Birken in Norway.

The Slovenia & Italy Sight-Skiing trip includes all the beautiful skiing, delicious cuisine and cultural experiences you’d expect on any Lumi ski vacation, without the ski racing. Simply enjoy the trails at your own pace while taking in the local culture and cuisine.

All of Lumi’s small group trips are led by local, expert trip leaders who would love to share their home trails in France, Norway, Slovenia and Italy with your club members.

 

France Transju’

February 8 - 15, 2027

The Jura Mountains form the border between France and Switzerland. The region is renown for more than Comte cheese and Jura wine. In winter, the snow covered hills turn into a paradise for cruising on cross country skis.

SLOVENIA & Italy Sight-Skiing

February 28 - March 6, 2027

Ski and explore the Julian Alps, close to where Italy, Austria and Slovenia meet. In addition to cross-country skiing from the door of your hotel, try lift-serve sledding — a favorite local activity. Away from the trails, visit the iconic Lake Bled and sample some of the best beers and cuisine found in the region, with a significant Italian influence.

NORWAY Birken

March 15 - 22, 2027

Head to the birthplace of skiing for a week in Oslo and Lillehammer. Explore the famed Holmenkollen, discover the seemingly endless trails around Sjusjøen and stroll down the cobbled Storgata in Lillehammer. Finish your week with the opportunity to ski the Norwegian Birkebeiner Worldloppet ski event.
