Dutchies Do Ski

We are three ladies living below sea level in Amsterdam and we are passionate about skiing powder! Ten years ago, we put our serious corporate careers on hold and started redefining our lives by becoming ‘ski journalists’, a self-created title. We took a few “ski-baticals” and skied full time for several winters discovering great ski communities and skiing deep powder with our new colourful ski friends. Over the years our content has been featured in international ski magazines & blogs, marketing campaigns, a TV commercial and even a TV show!

While we might spend less time in the mountains then when we started, now more than ever we want to go on epic ski adventures. Please contact us if you would like to work with us on promoting your destination. We are always planning new trips and are actively looking for new ski adventures.

The best part about being a ski journalist (next to skiing all that powder) is meeting so many different people who tell us their amazing (life) stores. We love hearing about your passions, sharing special moments together and documenting our travels in different ways: Julie is our writer and social media expert, Caroline captures our finest moments through pictures and Len is our drone pilot and videographer. If you are curious to find out more about who we are and how we met, visit our about us page.

The question we are asked the most is, “what is your favorite place to ski?” This is impossible to answer, as we have so many favorites and it really depends on what you are looking for. If you want to ski with us, you can join us for a very special heliski trip in Canada. Or visit our destinations page to see where we have travelled and you’ll also find practical tips per destination so you can go there yourself! Or if you are not sure where to go next, just have a look at our published work.

Turn after turn, we graciously glide through fluff Turn after turn, we graciously glide through fluffy, dry powder between birches that look like a wintry jungle, every twig of their twisting branches stacked with snow crystals. Every few moments one of us disappears behind a huge powder cloud before bursting out, face cracked in a huge smile.

#throwback to a very memorable ski trip in Alaska. It was a trip full of very high highs. Next to pure excitement the second emotion I felt was admiration of the giant peaks surrounding me. I felt insignificant amongst these ancient mountains and was astounded by the beauty and magnitude of Mother Earth.. Most days it gave me goosebumps... looking back, perhaps these were also caused by the adrenaline pumping through my veins, before dropping into 45+ degree couloirs.. #stoked #naturalhigh

Heli-skiing in Alaska has been at the top of our b Heli-skiing in Alaska has been at the top of our bucket list for years and in 2012 we made it happen! .
The experienced pilot flies over steep mountains and proficiently “parks” the heli on a miniscule plateau, without fully touching the snow. With extreme caution we climb out of the chopper and squat down to keep away from a massive cornice. My heart is pounding in my throat as I put on my ski's. Perched above a huge cliff, I instinctively check if my bindings are properly closed and if the trigger on my Ortovox airbag is within reach. Our guide Paul, a pro-patroller from Squaw Valley, explains that we’ll be dropping into a 45-degree couloir, with a 1,000 vertical meters of heavenly powder. Somewhat intimidated by the sketchy entry, an absolute no fall zone, we mentally prepare ourselves. As Paul skis off, he sets of a small avalanche that disappears into another couloir. With utmost concentration I drop into the gully that sluffs around me. The adrenaline is pumping through my veins as I keep going and the sluff passes me. As soon as it flattens out, I relax and take in the mind-blowing scenery with endless glaciers and huge wind lips. In this mighty landscape I feel insignificant and invincible at the same time. In the distance, a tiny dot appears on a plateau. It must be Paul. Euphoric, I fly towards him with big, fast turns.. Caroline van 't Hoff 📸 @dutchiesdoski
