Exceeded all my expectations
Shanti Mayne, UK – Jan 2022
I had a great time on YES Tours and it exceeded all my expectations, so thank you. I have just got a job as a ski instructor in Whistler for the coming season.
Brilliantly arranged
/0 Comments/in IMP testimonial, Testimonials /by anneGraham Trafford, UK – Mar 2022
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.
Exactly what I wanted
/0 Comments/in IP testimonial, Testimonials /by anneMichael White, UK – Jan 2022
An ENORMOUS thank you for the past three months. I had an absolutely incredible time, and you and the instructors really went above and beyond, in every respect. Right from the start – it was super kind of you to come and meet me on day one and tell me what gear to get etc., and that impression of you guys going out of your way for us continued throughout the course.
I got exactly what I wanted out of the programme – had a great break from London and feel a million times better at skiing, and also that I have a strong base from which to keep improving. And met a lot of really great people. I would definitely be interested in doing another YES course in the future.
Technique was greatly improved
/0 Comments/in Niseko testimonials, Testimonials /by anneJillian O’Connor, Australia – Feb 2019
This was my third time skiing with YES. I skied with 5 others & enjoyed having the same ski instructor for the duration due to the continuity/consistency of learning and improving my technique across on- and off-piste. I came away feeling that my skiing technique was greatly improved and know areas that I need to work on it future. Thank you all those at YES for facilitating same.
Of course, I enjoyed the social aspect – ie dinner with the ski group and get the 2 night’s get togethers with the total group as well as closer personal relations developed with some of the participants. Overall, the general cameraderie.
Awesome time

I absolutely loved YES and had a fabulous time. I learned so much, my skiing has improved out of sight! All the instructors, Scott, Mark, Liz and Cam are great people, very patient, always encouraging, and know their stuff. So many of your previous clients return year after year, so you’re doing something right! Thanks for an awesome time.
Couldn’t be happier
/0 Comments/in Niseko testimonials, Testimonials /by anneJohn Sereda, Canada – Feb 2019
For me, the instruction was great. Even though the powder was less than anticipated, the extra time spent on technique was time very well spent. Mark and Scott (my 2 coaches) are excellent teachers and deeply generous humans. I got the impression that the other coaches were equally committed to our improvement.
I couldn’t be happier and will repeat.
Exceptional!
/0 Comments/in Wanaka testimonial, Testimonials /by anneDawn Kinna, Australia – Aug 2017
The entire YES experience was exceptional from my first email, to the last function after my one week doing the course. I am definitely thinking of going to Whistler in a few months, and naturally I’ll be getting back in contact with YES. THANK YOU TO BARRY, LINK AND KEVIN – a great job guys! Cheers Dawn
Confidence got better
/0 Comments/in Wanaka testimonial, Testimonials /by anneRobyn Wheeler, Australia – August 2017
I really got somewhere this time! The snow can be an enemy in NZ when it turns to ice but with Schmollies work on sliding and balance over the down hill ski my confidence got better and I actually SKIED the runs not woosed out and stopped and panicked. It was just a fabulous week and I think without a doubt Schmollie is just getting better and better as a coach. Thanks for a great week.
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.
