Hey guys so I'm moving to whistler for the upcoming 2013/2014 winter season and any of you that have rented there before you know to start planning now for the following winter, There will be 3 of us who are more then qualified to work for blackcomb and stay in the staff housing and was just wondering if anyone had info on open apartments for rent or have stayed in the staff housing before and could tell me how it is? Thanks

check out airbnb for a short stay so you can look for places when you are here.

Staff Housing is risky. Creekside is a sick place to live from my experience. Getting a job with the hill is pretty key. (free pass, solid discounts, lots of perks) Kitchen jobs are good for getting evening shifts and free food. (food is so fuckin expensive in whistler).

Start checking this page late summer/fall

I live in staff currently and its not so bad. Its cheap and close to the slopes/ Vil. If you get a job working for WB make sure to ask for staff housing. Also make sure you are applying online for any job that come up. Its best to apply for the jobs for the job fair in November so that you can get "dibs" on work. Moving up around 1 Nov is pretty good, its when most of the winter season starts to get rolling. Get a few nights stay at one of the near by hostels if you need to, but make sure to get a place to stay straight away, makes everything else a lot easier. If you dont get a job at WB try to get a job with a company that participates in the Spirit program so that you get some rebate on your seasons pass. WB can sometimes be a prick to work for but it has its benefits and its cons. Feel free to PM me if you need any more help.
