'Was in Verbier for a week and booked a half-day lesson with Yasmin to spruce up my form. In only a couple of hours, I felt as if I had not only improved my skiing, but also gained more confidence. Overall, super knowledgeable and helpful - classes aren't only for beginners!' Michael, tripadvisor.com

I learnt to ski at the Lecht ski centre when I was 3 and it has never stopped since. It has always been a part of my life growing up. When my brother and I were kids we used to get so much snow that we would have to cross-country ski 3 miles a day to get to school. This is such a special memory for me and something I will treasure forever.

I have now worked my way through the BASI system and I am based out in Switzerland over the winter working for Element Ski School. If you wish to book any ski lessons or woman’s performance camps with me then you can do this through the Ski School website: www.elementconcept.com

I am also running winter retreats from my home. These will combine ski touring, fitness and yoga sessions along with great food, whisky and a roaring fire! Contact me privately to arrange these.

"For my 1st trip to Verbier, I booked 2 1/2 hours for guide/instructor service. I am an older, experienced skier. Yaz was the perfect and priceless guide-instructor. Great knowledge of the Verbier pistes and a true delight."  - Kevin L, tripadvisor.com

"We were really happy with the whole experience with Element Ski school. First of all they helped match our needs with the perfect teacher. They sent through a number of profiles for us to look at- which was perfect as our daughter is a bit shy and needs a good match. We chose Yaz- who was energetic, kind and of course a great skier. Our daughter said that Yaz was her favourite ski teacher ever! (that is a big compliment from her)."  - Kimstar, tripadvisor.com

"Amazing and fun weekend. I learned so many useful tips to improve my skiing habits. Yaz was a great instructor, very patient and in control. It was fun to push myself beyond my limits- with the right technique one can enjoy skiing so much more. Next season I'm in again, for sure."  - Giedra, Womens Camp Weekend
