Celebrating Team USA and America’s 250th Anniversary
Happy Independence Day! The United States of America celebrates its 250th anniversary this weekend with fireworks, parties and parades from coast to coast. Every Fourth of July I’m reminded of the enthusiasm that fans of Team USA’s athletes bring to cross-country ski events around the world. From the World Cup to the World Championships, the excitement of the crowd can help make or break a race. I’m proud to say that the cheers from Lumi guests help energize the US team in their international races.
US Olympian Julia Kern says, “Lumi Experiences travels to many World Cup and World Championship races. I love that Lumi guests can cheer the top level racers, be part of the big crowds and see the fire pits along the course. I love to see guests at the races!”
In this week’s blog post, we’re sharing some of our favorite photos of Team USA fans from past Lumi trips. We love sharing these special moments with guests as the world’s fastest skiers cruise past at speeds we can only dream of matching. Win or lose, it’s a thrill to be surrounded by so many enthusiastic ski fans from around the world.
Interested in cheering on America’s top skiers next winter? Enjoy the skiing and cuisine in Italy after spectating trailside at the Tour de Ski, or explore seemingly unlimited trails in Norway in between mingling with Norwegian superfans at the Holmenkollen World Cup. We also have a few spots remaining on our upcoming Falun World Championships trips in Sweden, a special event that only takes place once every two years.

Enjoy the long holiday weekend!
See you on the trail,
