Celebrate Father’s Day with Time on the Trail

With Father’s Day approaching, we’ve been reflecting on the moments that make time with family truly special—like skiing alongside (or trying to keep up with!) the kids you once taught to ski.

As life gets busier and families spread out, it’s not always easy to find more than a weekend here or a dinner there to reconnect. That’s part of what makes a full week of skiing together so memorable. We love hosting families on Lumi trips.

For many fathers, skiing together again with adult kids is a great way to spend time together. This time around, though, no one has to be the trip coordinator or worry about logistics. From transfers to hotel check-ins to the best trailside huts, Lumi handles all the details. That leaves more time for catching up over a morning coffee, cruising the trails together or winding down with a drink and a laugh at the end of the day.

In honor of Father’s Day, we’re excited to share a few photos and highlights from fathers and their adult children from this past winter and before:

Rob McKim who traveled with his son Chris on the 2025 France Transju’ trip:

The balance of group meals and time on our own was just right. I have never traveled with a group before and there was much to appreciate about having many meals already planned. And it was certainly easy enough for anyone to opt out if they wanted to spend time with their family instead.

Fannie Watkinson who traveled with her dad Peter on the 2025 Iceland Fossavatn trip:

Trip leaders were amazing ... and Iceland is such a neat place that I learned so much about from a geographic, historical, and community perspective. The Fossavatnsgangan in Isafjordur was a fantastic centerpiece to this trip and wow the ski community is just the best. The town too was so welcoming, friendly, and had the best post-race cake buffet/fish buffet/singalong that really made me feel like I was a part of the community. Our group was filled with incredible people who I loved getting to know... in addition to time with my dad.

Be sure to check out some of the highlights with moms too!

If you’re thinking about planning a trip with your dad (or mom!)—or bringing your own kids along for a week of skiing next winter — reach out by Father’s Day (this Sunday, June 15) to save $300 per person on any 2026 Lumi trip with remaining availability. We’re happy to send the detailed itinerary and help answer any questions you might have.

See you on the trail,
