I have just got back to the UK from Canada, and wanted to write to thank you and the whole Yes team for a fabulous 2 week long sessions of instruction and improvement!
I had a great time, and am really happy that you persuaded me at the start of the first week to join John’s group skiing with Wayne, as I seemed to bond into that group of “mature” (in age!!) chaps really well!
As last time, in 2020, it was all brilliantly arranged, and worked smoothly from the welcome at the Apres party (before I actually had started with the group), the guiding on the Sunday, and the instruction – through the two weeks all the way to the final Apres party!
I do hope to come out again next year at the same sort of time, so will see you then, and you will have a new collection of Sunday morning jokes (hopefully!) although I cannot remember most of the ones from the last 2 weeks, so you can probably get away with recycling the old ones (again!)…..
Game changer
/0 Comments/in IMP testimonial, Testimonials /by anneCarla Kurzbock, Australia – Feb 2022
Just got home and am still pinching myself as to how lucky I got in Whistler. The Downhill house was beautiful, the landscapes stunning, and the snow perfect after that orientation day.
I was looked after so well, particularly by Shannon and the instructors I had, and I loved being part of the “Apres” and extended Yes family. You have built such a lovely community, people instantly feel welcome and consequently bond quickly.
On a personal note, it was a short time for me but it was a game changer in terms of my skiing. By the end of the week I was doing some black runs and skiing over bumps and through trees. Things I thought I would never do.
Great balance
/0 Comments/in IMP testimonial, Testimonials /by anneSimon Millar, Australia – Feb 2019
The Yes team create a great balance by making groups of like minded clients and matching them with experienced instructors who help you improve as an individual skier whilst taking the group to different parts of the resort in order to practice.
Great balance between helpful instructional tips and guiding to challenging and varied terrain on which to practice them.
Focused on technique
/0 Comments/in IMP testimonial, Testimonials /by anneRichard Edwards, UK – Mar 2019
I would recommend doing two weeks of improvement with YES. More importantly I am going to offer my three kids the opportunity to do the instructor course with you in years to come, if it appeals to them (and if they make the minimum required ability to enroll).
I really liked the tuition that focused on technique. Why? Because for rubbish skiers like me it is the foundation for everything that comes afterwards. Off piste etc. is all well and good, but if you are not confident in your technique it can be a waste of time (or worse).
Excellent program

Every day I learn something about my skiing and gradually improve – it really is an excellent program. Wayne’s infectious enthusiasm and clarity of instruction are impressive.
Likeminded skiers

Wayne was the most technical of my instructors and really explained in detail what we needed to do. Great adventure to Blackcomb Glacier with a fun group of likeminded skiers.
Dave was amazing

He pulled out all the tricks to find ones that resonates with my learning style. He was supportive and encouraging and bought out the best in me. Plus he was so much fun – a great singer and always found us powder!!
Definitely will be back again!

Linc was amazing and wonderful at finding just the right terrain for our ability. The group was perfect as well with all of us within the same ability which worked perfectly! Definitely will be back again!
Best skiing day ever

Fantastic instructor
/0 Comments/in IMP testimonial, Testimonials /by YES AdminSasha Poriters, Australia
Wayne was a fantastic instructor. I didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t know him or the YES program (being my first) but he exceeded my expectations massively.
Wayne gave each person in the group a lot of individual attention and worked really hard to help get across what he was trying to teach/demonstrate. He also did it in a way that was courteous to the rest of the group. He clearly explained each skill and did so in a considered sequence that made it easy for us to implement. This resulted in immediate changes in the way we were skiing that allowed us to build progressively throughout the week.
Thanks Wayne and YES.
