Hello

I took a job at keystone, I know everyone has their own feelings about the mountain and the night life but I think its going to be a great fit for me. However, I need some help finding a place to live.. I have been reading that the employee housing is bad.. Like real bad. So I am trying to find a place in Dillon or summit cove.

Does anyone know of anything? I've been checking summitdaily and craigslist and there are a few things but it all seems to be a little more than I wanted to spend. I am thinking about 600 a month for the upcoming ski season.

Thanks

there is nothing intrisically wrong about employee housing. Although I will say that if you go that route, live in tenderfoot, NOT sunrise. The places are a little cramped but not real bad. The biggest issue is finding some reputable people to live with. If you dont have a known roommate already picked out, they just stick you in any open room. But even then, as long as you dont get some super sketchy dude that steals all your stuff, you should be fine.

check daily and often. The faster you move on something the better. Obviously, the closer to the season it gets, the faster things will disappear. Gotta be super aggressive, find the one you want, and drop the bux to secure it. I had a full time job (obviously limiting my time to check places) and it took me 2 full months before I found a place (this was in january). If you find something you like, just lock it down. Be happy with that and dont worry about if there could have been something better. I'm not saying settle for less, but theres an obvious level of reason here, thats all :P
