The founder of LUX Snowboard & Yoga Retreats, Alenka Mali is a professional snowboarder and BASE jumper, based in Squamish BC. She has traveled the world competing on the FWT series and chasing powder storms in the backcountry, for the last decade. Growing up between Patagonia and the European Alps, she’s experienced many different cultures and skied in many beautiful places. She was always inspired by her mother who was a great alpinist and she realized one simple thing. Empowered women, empower women.

It has become her mission, to inspire other women and younger girls through her actions of competing, exploring new mountains, and showing up for others and the planet.

LUX is a unique way to sum her entire season of adventures, into one week that other equally eager women can experience with her.
