ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS

YES offers a range of accommodation options so you can choose your own experience. We have made some changes this season due to the COVID situation so all accommodation is only single room or twin share. We still have our chalets and condos, and this year we are including some hotel options.

We can also help you find a private rental suite or condo if that would suit you better, contact us for a quote.

CHALETS: CATERED / SELF-CATERED: Staying at these chalets you have the option of including 4 delicious dinners each week in the comfort of your house. There is also self-catering facilities in the chalet so if you prefer that option you can manage your own meals as you wish.
YES CONDOS: Located through the resort, we have 2 bedroom condos with a kitchen provided so you can make your own meals.
HOTELS: CATERED / SELF-CATERED: We are offering accommodation packages at the very comfortable ski in/out Blackcomb Springs Suites. You can also upgrade to include 4 dinners / week if you chose, otherwise you can make your own meals in your hotel suite.

PLEASE NOTE: The only accommodation available for 4 week program starting on January 14th 2023 is Blackcomb Springs Suites.
