Here we go: so many Dutch people are having sex on the slopes

(yes, really)

Plop. A very entertaining little survey in my mailbox. About winter sports and especially about how we behave there (or not, of course). What turns out? We Dutchies are the wildest in the world when it comes to winter sports. Here we go loooooooos, yes indeed. Something with Heidi in Tyrol who turns out to be quite hot. No, that's not a joke, my friends.

Expedia presents the ‘SnowBoots report’ for the first time this year, for which 13,000 winter sports enthusiasts from thirteen countries were surveyed about their winter sports habits. Then you might wonder: what do we all consume? Well, uh, what don't we? Drunk on the slopes, sex on the slopes, and relationships with the ski instructor: no biggie, we Dutch just do that.

Starting with, of course, the main culprit of our mischievous behavior: alcohol. With the same love with which we step onto the snowboard or skis, we dive into the après-ski hut afterwards. First of all, it turns out that the Dutch drink the most while skiing. For 86 percent, an alcoholic treat goes down well, and almost a quarter of the surveyed Dutchies drink more than five glasses daily. This makes us the biggest drinkers in the world while skiing, followed by the Belgians and the Brits, while drunk people on the slopes are number 1 in terms of irritation factor. Something with a pot and a kettle, yes...

Top 5 slope irritations:

  1. Others who are drunk on the slopes.
  2. Yellow snow (don’t eat it!).
  3. Groups of people gathering in the middle of the slope.
  4. People posing for the camera.
  5. Winter sports amateurs.

Finally, let's move on to a very striking point in the research. One in five Dutch people admits to having had sex on the slopes at some point. Also, one in ten has been completely naked on the slopes. And that is – compared to the rest of the countries – quite a lot. Only the Belgians seem to be more active in the snow. ‘Off-piste’ suddenly takes on a whole different meaning... I genuinely wonder how that works in such an anything but practical ski pants. Just pull it down and sneak in and out quickly? Bunch of horny devils. Goodness, don’t give me ideas, I'm going skiing in March. Just kidding.

Or maybe not.
