Replying to What to plan for when moving to Whistler?

I am super sick of college and I am planning on taking next year off to ski bum.  Whistler has some major appeal, especially because I am 19, and I just need to know some details because I have never been there.  I am just wondering about the price and ease of finding housing, the minimum budget for food (and partying) and any other associated costs that I could be overlooking.  I am kind of just planning on saying fuck it and rolling up there, but I don't wanna fuck myself over by not knowing what the expenses are going to be.  Any and all information would be majorly appreciated.
