Our story
The story behind SlopeShop
About us
We’re Luuk and Thomas, two Dutch guys with one thing in common: we live for the mountains.
It all started when we were kids, dragging our parents to the Austrian Alps every winter. What began as family holidays turned into a passion, and that passion turned into a job. For the past few years we’ve been working as ski instructors in the Alps, teaching everyone from nervous first-timers to riders chasing their first black run.
On the slopes, we noticed the same thing over and over: people showing up with the wrong gear. Boots that killed their feet, skis that didn’t match their level, jackets that looked great but were useless the moment it actually got cold. Good equipment makes all the difference. we see it every single day!
That’s why we started SlopeShop. Not as a big corporate store, but as a shop built by people who actually ski. We only sell gear we’d use ourselves, and we’re always happy to give honest advice if you’re not sure what you need.
Whether you’re booking your first ski trip or you’ve lost count of how many winters you’ve spent in Austria, we’ve got you covered.
See you on the slopes.
Luuk & Thomas, SlopeShop founders
