Replying to RMR viscinity to revelstoke

I will hopefully be working at revelstoke this season but I dont have a car and I'm wondering if the mountain is within walking distance of the town? When I worked at sun peaks the lift was 40 minutes away from staff accom so Im used to walking in the cold. The town looks close in all the pictures Ive seen but im not too sure. Also if anyone has info on cheap accomodations in revelstoke it would be greatly appreciated, im looking into it now but I think it may be too early. thanks for the help
