Mountaineering 2008 Client Testimonials

Here’s what people are saying about their experience with our Intro to Mountaineering Course:

“The Yam Intro to Mountaineering course was the BEST vacation I’ve ever had. It was a great week of learning the basics of getting around in the mountains and the guiding team was professional and knowledgeable. Would I do it again? You betcha! I’m planning on trying Yam’s Ice Evolution this winter.” – David, Toronto, Ontario

“I have coached Downhill Ski Racing, Windsurfing, High School Football & other sports for years. During my course with Yam I experienced course instruction & coaching with Steve & Pat in the highest standards of professionalism I have observed in a very long time. In today’s world it’s all about me, not the client/ customer. I was totally amazed at the level of professionalism, the personal touch, the knowledge & skill displayed by both guides, the sense of humor & the fun had by all! You don’t want to lose these two guys! Unbelievable experience! I (and I know others) will be using the guiding skills of these two for some time to come! Great organization Yam, good on you people! I will be back! “ – Noel, Turner Valley, Alberta

“Wow! Great people , great guides. I did truly enjoy the six days spent at the Bow Hut. The guides were just outstanding!” – Eric, Lake Louise, Alberta

“Simon and Steve were absolutely amazing guides. I could not have asked for any better! Friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were having a good time! They seemed genuinely interested in our well being, and ensuring that we got the most out of the trip.” – Joanna, Toronto, Ontario

“Excellent guiding, instruction and safety. Very complete and enjoyable course. All questions and concerns were addressed thoroughly.” – Nicki, Cold Lake, Alberta
