Whistler
Yeah, you have to be here well before the seaoson starts to get a place to
live and a job of whatever sort you are thinking. If you show up here in November or December looking for a place, you very likely will not find one, or you will be paying ~way~ too much money for it. My best advice is to come right now. Or even last month if you can swing it. The local magazine www.piquenewsmagazine.com is the best listing of accomodation in the valley in its classified ads. The paper comes out on Fridays, but the classifieds can be seen Thursdays and acted on then. A fairly standard procedure here for aprarment hunting is to show up to see the landlord with first and last month rent in your hands. "Arthur" wrote in message ...

It used to be September, but I think is now a bit later. The staff housing issue is sorted out then. Your best chance (I think, having lived there several years) is to go out as soon as you can around Labor day. The local businesses may not be hiring their fall staff yet, but you can score a place to live much more easily if you don't want to live in staff accomodation. The summer crowd has gone back to school at that point too. If you can go before the end of August, then just linger like a refrigerator odor around the places you think you might want to work in the village, they will get to know you and your chances of getting a job as the season starts are much better. You can also scoop a place that a student is moving out of. Good luck. You'll have a fabulous time once you get the employment/housing sorted out. |
