Replying to Working this winter in....aspen. dont judge

i've got a lead on a job at the new viceroy by snowmass.  ive never been to aspen, but its rep out east where im from isn't too great. 

but i'm thrilled to possibly have this gig, and i'm really down to spend the winter at an actual mountain and not the anthill i slide on on new york.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to navigate the aspen scene (park/bc/town)?  where i can live for (relatively) cheap?  i'm taking the winter off from college, so haven't had much of a chance to save money. 

thanks yall.
