learning is fun!

Whichever activity you undertake in life, how you are introduced to it and how professional your initial period of instruction is, are of paramount importance. YTC ski and snowboard lessons are designed to provide the perfect foundation for many skiers and snowboarders, thus leading to many years of snow-sports pleasure. With YTC you will learn correctly in an environment of low pressure and maximum attention.

Under the direction of Mariano Galas, YTC director of skiing, Maltese novice skiers learn to ski with style and with the correct technique, skills that will remain with them throughout life. Mariano’s style of instruction is a mixture of patience and well placed encouragement making the learning fun and much easier than you may imagine. Practically everyone taking part in YTC instruction courses complete their week with the ability to not only ski but ski well.

Whatever the age, everyone has the chance to learn a new skill on the slopes.Mariano’s lessons are all conducted in small groups for maximum effect and this combined with his highly personal style provides positive results. All novices also enjoy the backup of the rest of the YTC support team including Eleonora and Kevin, Joe or Charles, so there is always a Maltese speaking representative close at hand... a service unique to YTC in the mountains. Another unique service YTC clients have is a list of exclusive extras including an organised race at the end of the week, a professional photo session (on request), a DVD of themselves on the slopes. The DVD is also a great way to see your progress and help to learn to improve your skills and is available on request at a minimal charge.

By utilising a top skier in the person of Mariano (he is regularly the winner of races held in the region and has won countless trophies competing throughout Italy), plus the assistance of a first class back up team, YTC’s guests are learning the best from the best. Emphasis is placed on correct technique and most important of all safety while allowing guests to have and enjoy that extra special factor... fun on the snow - this is a holiday after all. From the gentle nursery slopes, progressing with each individual’s abilities to the more challenging blue (and in some cases red) slopes everyone can experience the thrill of the snow, as your ability grows so will your confidence. At the end of the week everyone receives a medal and a digital picture certificate as keepsakes and everyone has made new friends during their shared group experience.

Skiing is a special activity which can be enjoyed at many different levels of accomplishment... you don’t have to be brilliant to have a brilliant time on the snow. Skiing is a sport that the whole family can share and enjoy together... making it one of the most pleasurable holiday options of all. Even those who can already ski can find their skills vastly improved by either individual lessons or a few days in a group of skiers of similar ability.

YTC is dedicated to provide the maximum, most professional levels of care and instruction on the snow, with one aim... to give guests the opportunity of beginning a lifelong enjoyment of winter holidays.
