After high school i plan to pack it up and move to BC im from the U.S and have never been to BC but are hoping to go this summer . Anyway i want to move out to whistler and work at the resort and have another job as well and of course ski my ass off . I want to know if theres anything outside of whistler village or what are would be better to work at ? I just thought of whistler because its a big popular area so i figured there would be civilization there . Thanks newschoolers🤙🏼

If you're just planning on skiing as much as you can and don't want to spend a ton of money then Whistler might not be the best place to be. I've never rented there myself but I've heard accommodations are pricey as hell so you might end up working as much as you ski. Or just save up first.

U gotta get a Honda Civic from kijiji- that will be ur car and where u live. In the winter u can ski and work as an instructor and in the summer u can work at a Pizza Hut making some dough so that u can buy some canned beans and heat them up on ur Honda Civic's engine so that u can survive.

I mean at least get a fit instead of a civic. Where you going to sleep in a civic, the trunk?

I'm from colorado and I'm trying to work at whistler next season and let me tell you getting a work permit is a bitch and a half. they design it to make it nearly impossible for americans to get canadian work visas. The resort has to complete a labor market impact assessment at a cost of 1000 to them before they can hire you. I'd apply now if I were you. Also getting work at whistler is really hard because they're such a mega-resort. You definitely wanna be working full time too or you'll never afford to live there.
