Looking to do a gap year in Whistler this coming fall, would probably have to live in Pemberton or Squamish so rent isn't so bad (would be looking for roommates) anyone have a tips, which palce is the best to be, pros and cons, things to do, whats cheaper and whats not, etc.
Just slum it and live in staff housing, it’s worth it to be right at the mountain
If you have money for travel I’d say pemb,both have amazing off season biking,I like the slower pace of pemb(less city slickers)
However going to the city now and then is much easier from squam,you can’t go wrong with either.im jealous! It’s expensive up north no matter where you live!
I lived in north van for a while but always wanted to live in pemb part time

look for places in whistler, it really isn't expensive if you share the right place and have a job.
pow_pow~look for places in whistler, it really isn't expensive if you share the right place and have a job.
Its pretty fucking expensive, if you can find less than 800 a month you're lucky and that is rare even if you get a house with like 5 people which is pretty much the only way to keep rent under 900 or 1000 a month.

I know how expensive it is, ive lived there for a few years. The expense is worth the convenience of being closer to town.
Unless you have a car, then I would recommend Pemberton

I would have a car, was leaning towards Squamish because it waterfront and bigger, more of a social vibe.
NPFPemberton sucks, don't go there.
Why? Seems small and I think id prefer Squamish but give me the facts.

Yeah, no one prefers a commute, but youll have to pay 2000 a month for a fucking closet to get near the mountain, it sucks.

well they dropped their price like a grand a while ago, assuming its still around and we got it for 4000can/month we would need to find 2 people in adition to you and me, rent would be 775 usd ish and we would have our own place right on the edge of whistler.
