“I came solo not knowing anyone, and left with six women I still text every week. The skiing was the draw, but the crew is what I'll remember.”

“Wo000oooW, I attended the Whistler Backcountry Lux Snow Trip in January 2026, and I already cannot wait for the next opportunity to join one of Alenka's Lux trips. The attention to detail throughout the entire experience was truly next level. From being welcomed with fresh flowers in our rooms, to somehow eating the best food I've ever had in my life (yes… in the backcountry?!), every single element was so intentionally thought through. It was clear that every person involved was hand-selected, not just for their expertise, but because they genuinely believe in this space and what this week represents, just as deeply as Alenka does. The result was an incredibly supportive, empowering, and safe environment where we were able to learn, grow, and thrive together. Each day somehow topped the last and was added to my ever-growing list of "favorite days ever", which still feels wild to say. Kindness, thoughtfulness, deep connection, and meaningful friendships defined this all-women's retreat. Lux Snow is more than a trip, it's a truly special experience, and I feel so grateful to have been part of it.”

“I'd never been in the backcountry before. The avalanche training felt serious but never scary. I came back a more confident skier and person.”

“I went to Argentina with LUX in August 2024, and it was the most incredible experience. What made it so special was our fierce group of women & how Alenka brought us into her world and family. Backcountry skiing/splitboarding in remote areas, where everyone feels welcome and in the right environment to push yourself while feeling supported.”

“I booked this trip on a whim and it was an experience of a lifetime! I met an amazing group of women from all walks of life, all sharing a passion for backcountry skiing. We pushed ourselves, we saw breathtaking nature and enjoyed some wonderful skiing. I felt very safe the whole time with our knowledgeable guides. I highly recommend taking this trip it will change your life! Alenka and her team are the best!”

“Lux was a once in a lifetime experience, I don't think there is anything else out there quite like it. I highly recommend and would definitely sign up again. I did the Argentina trip in 2024. The environment was very welcoming, whether you go with a friend or solo, and no matter your experience level. I am a fairly experienced splitboarder, and I learned so much, met so many new wonderful adventure friends, and every day was better than the last. Tremendous thanks to Alenka and our guide Klemen, they made the experience unforgettable.”

“I went to Argentina with Lux Snow in 2024, and I absolutely loved my experience. We saw breathtaking landscapes, and the skiing was incredible. The group trip with all women in the context of a sport was an experience I highly recommend. I met strong, inspiring women along the way. A huge thank you to Alenka and Klemen for this amazing experience and for your guidance throughout. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!”

“I had the pleasure of joining LUX Snow for the Patagonia trip in 2024. The entire experience was a dream, and I can't imagine doing it with anyone else but Alenka and Klemen. The depth of knowledge they have about the mountains and the Bariloche area made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm so grateful to have met the women who also ventured to Argentina for the trip and I'll hold the memories near for a lifetime. If you want to push yourself and get to know a wild place, book a LUX Snow trip.”

“I joined a LUX trip to Norway last Spring for a sail to splitboard trip. I had an amazing time, not only snowboarding but all of the other aspects of it such as horseback riding, sauna/ocean plunge, the amazing food by our private chef, and the company of a few other amazing girls. Alenka truly made sure that we were taken care of and we didn't have to stress about any logistics. It was unforgettable!”
