Hey all
I'll be moving to Canada Whistler BC in september 07.
Do any of you guys work at whistler BC that can get me some work... like working in a board store or something.
I'm from Australia and thought i would try asking around on NS cause everyone seems to be pretty helpful.
I plan to stay for 6-8 months even longer depending on the work.
Thanks,
Mitch

Intrawest loves australians, I'm sure they'll get you some sort of job realllll fast.
If you're from the west coast, don't go to whistler, you'll hate the rest of the australians there. If you're from Melbourne, Adelaide, etc, you'll fit right in!

yea. Turns out whistler is like 30% australian. Why is everyone migrating there? If you're from perth, go somewhere else. Cause we all know the quokka loving folk are better anyways. :)

in the words of friedcheese
"Kiwis aussies and brits are plaqueing our resort towns with exotic stds
we should try our best to keep them all segregated from us the ture
canadians not the ones who are transient kirmudgeons with rotten
penises/vaginas."

go check out flying fish they are like ccusa they will sort you out with visas, staff accomodation and a job they are awesome they also run instructor workshops just before the season so you can get your cert, if you live in sydney there is a site in manly just off the beach just go to the corso and ask around, if not google it i dont know thier site but they are chill oh and ask for cerise she is hot and flirty.
oh and if you were looking for off mountain jobs at the fairmont whistler i know they are look for full time seasonal porters check thier site for a human resorce contact and get ready for the best season of your life.

Jobs in Whistler are a dime a dozen, It's extremely easy to find work depending on when you arrive, worry about where your going to live, not work...
All times are Eastern (-4)
