This program is home-base for YES tours located at the world famous Whistler Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia Canada.

Here you will find some of the best (if not the best) lift-accessed terrain in the world. Combined with incredibly reliable snow and a vibrant nightlife and a great group of like-minded people, this will be a tour that will deliver you with a lifetime of fond memories.

Yes improvement ski & snowboard training courses are designed with one purpose in mind; to improve your technique. These are not holidays with ski lessons added as an afterthought - they are dedicated snowboard and ski improvement training programs.

Yes staff will develop your skills in varying terrains to suit your ability. You will become more proficient when skiing/boarding in powder, through moguls, off piste and on the groomed slopes. The week concludes with a written personalized evaluation of your week, which includes suggestions for future development.

Programs run from Saturday to Saturday. YES Tours recommend a minimum of 2 weeks to get the maximum benefit of the program. People who stay for2 weeks also benefit from the weekend to rest & to practise the things that they learned the week prior. They are then able to capitalize on these improvements & make even greater progress towards achieving their goals in the following week.

There is also an option for instruction only packages - see pricing below.

Each Week Includes:

• 7 nights acommodation at the Creekside accommodations or village accommodations
• 1 day guiding
• 4 days instruction (4 hrs / day)
• 6 days Whistler / Blackcomb lift passes
• welcome & farewell functions
• small well matched group sizes of 4 - 8 people
• video analysis
• après functions
