Plans for 2010

Countdown to the 2010 Winter Olympics - as of this week we are now less than a year away from the start of the Olympics in Whistler and Vancouver. The test events running this year (bobsled, luge, ski jumping, cross country and biathlon) have been a huge success with spectators and the village is ready to welcome the world next year. All the downhill events will be based out of Whistler Creekside, so if you are interested in being in Whistler during the Olympics we may be able to help - contact us at res@yesimprovement.com

Due to limitations on mountain access and accommodation during the games, Yes Improvement will not be running our normal programs in Whistler during February next year. However we do have some exciting plans:

European Tour - Interest is heating up & prices are flowing in for final checking. We are still looking at the middle of January. Arabba in Italy, Saas Fee & Zermat in Switzerland and Chamonix in France - 3 countries in 3 weeks! Glacier Express between St Moritz & Zermatt should be a highlight of the scenic-non-skiing trip!! We have had many of our regulars sing up already - if you are at all interested then please let us know by emailing Belinda: res@yesimprovement.com.

Ski & Ride Improvement and an 8 week Instructor Training Coursewill run from the start of the season (Nov 28th 09) through to January 23rd 2010. Bookings are already coming in so please contact Belinda if you are interested in skiing Whistler next season. Creekside will be operating until the middle of January so we are all systems go before the athletes get the exclusive rights to Whistler's original base.

Niseko - Mark Jones is currently heading back to Canada after a fantastic 2 weeks in Japan, enjoying the powder, sushi and sake! In 2010 we will once again be sending our pros to enjoy the Japanese powder, this time for an extended 3 weeks in February/March, following the European trip. Again all details are still to be confirmed but please get in touch if you are interested and we will keep you posted:res@yesimprovement.com.

Or why not join us for the experience of a lifetime and ski both Europe and Japan?

 "As ever a great week skiing. Good instruction, good fun and very professional. Thanks Meesh!"

"Excellent course, the recommended 2 weeks would have been more beneficial. Even so, I felt I have really improved and have got the knowledge to take away for next time".
