So I am moving to Whis this summer from june1st - whenever21st, plan is to live in a tent and ski all summer. I have enough saved for my summer ski pass, a tent, and thats about it. What I really need is a job; I applied to Whistler online about 2 months ago but still have not heard back. I'm a good carpenter, a really good roofer, decent trimmer; I dont know how I should go about getting a job. Is there anybody else that is skiing Whis all summer? anyone need a hard worker?
anyone else had experience with this? I know I'm not the first.

I hope you're not expecting the public park to look like that in the summer...

well I havent been in a few summer, but the public park is like a rail garden and a few small jumps. Leaves you just drooling over camp of champs and momemtum parks.

No point in thinking about skiing a lot in the summer if you aren't in one of the camps, the public stuff is tiny and crowded. I would rethink your plan or go to Hood if it has a bigger park.

I cant believe its 1500 for a 1 month camp of champs pass; I am really hoping to end up finding a some way to make a lot of money, or else see if theyl let me do some kind of work in return. I am from the east coast the whole thing will be pretty exiting either way I think.

yea good luck with that man but i think you'd have much better luck camping, saving cash, and skiing better features at hood but whis is pretty fun for raging and biking

My G-MA is going to help me out with my pass, so I can afford the summer access pass to camp of champs. I would come down to the States but crossing the border is such a hassel.

If you have that pass it will be fine if you like park then, the features will be awesome as there is an insane amount of snow up there this year, record levels, still a 350cm (11 foot) base and it hasn't really gotten warm yet.
