Yo!

Me and my buddies are going to whistler next season. Aand we need a place to stay... So my question is... Does anyone have any tips about how to find some nice place?
And when/where do you buy the cheap lift tickets?

Thanks!

my friends that moved there have a staff job. they get a free season pass. and they pay 300$ a month I believe for their staff housing. it is a little dirty and 4 guys in bunk beds. but its cheap and you are there to ski.

I'm heading out with some friends next season too. We're applying for jobs this summer through a British company. Working for the mountain most likely, so they throw in cheap accomodation and lift pass.

The deal is however that it's REALLY hard to get a Canadian working visa. And without one I'm only allowed to stay in Canada for 6 months.

Where do I buy the pre season pass?

what are one's chances of finding a job and a place to stay around new years? pretty slim right...because myself, and a handful of my friends want to get a semester done next year, then move to whistler. but im skeptical, because it seems as if every opportunity would be taken by that point.

johan what up buddy...

there are a billion swedes here this year...

best bet is to get a student visa, enrol in a program through cap college (vancouver, squamish) get your cheap pass ($400) and do your courses through the internet...just take some bullshit english course or something...then you can have a part time job, a season of skiing and maybe you'll get a bit smarter.

but do all this before september, otherwise you wont find a place to live
