Already lived in Utah so no Utah and no east coast. want to live somewhere else than seattle for winter which is where I’m currently. Looking mainly at locations in Wyoming, Montana, or BC. I would be gone half the time, I work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off traveling for the 2 weeks on. Lmk if you have something or know of something available I’m 24. I did last winter in Europe so looking to stay in USA or BC this year. Thanks

Ski towns be pricey these days. Depwnds qhere you go. Utah seems to be in the cheaper side. Colorado is pretty blown out. Tahoe is still doable. Hopefully you're making decent $$$. Heard of peoples rent jacking up a lot the last few years. People not being able to find housing. Friend couldn't find a spot in Mammoth and had to dip on his job and go. Buddy is moving to Crystal from Boise because his rent was doubling.

Idk. Ski towns are tough the last 5 years. Especially now.

Cause it’s a reality. Utah has a big enough city of SLC, where rent can be pretty manageable and won’t just skyrocket.

in Bozeman, my rent went up $400. Had friends that went all the way up to +$800.

I can’t imagine what ski towns are like.

do you need access to an airport for work? whats your gig that gives you 2 weeks on 2 weeks off?

for myself if I had to pick I'd pick from Baker (Bellingham), Bend, and maybe somewhere in Canada like Canmore? i'm not sure how hard it is to live in Canada as an american but I really like calgary from the 2 times I've been.

seems like if you are 24 and might need access to an airport you probably dont want to spend a winter in a super small town otherwise i'd throw out places that people might not think of like taos

yeah same thing in Boise, if I didn't have my own place now I think I would seriously consider moving. I love this town but the rents seem disproportionately high for what it is.

Its pretty bad and downright predatory honestly (in ski towns.) I know other employees I work with sleep in their cars, its a bummer to see.

Do you live in a ski town, do you live under a rock?

Lol at "jumping" to anything. Yeah cost of living never impacts a decision to move for anyone ever. The massive increase in 2-5 years in many towns hasn't had a big impact.

Sure dude...

SLC has a lit of housing even if the prices have gone up. Some of the ski towns are straight up Insanity right now. Maybe OP has a ton of $$ and money is no object. Idk. But there's a big housing crisis in US ski towns right now I thought was worth mentioning.

Friend with years of park crew park grooming got a job at mammoth, couldn't find housing. Left and moved to SLC to work at Brighton. Rent is getting crazy around Boise right now, buddy is moving to work with me in WA because we got him into employee housing.

Idk just thought it was worth mentioning that things are wild at the moment.

considering the title of the thread is 'ISO of a room...' and not 'ISO a sweet condo to buy' or 'ISO a ski-in/ski-out mega mansion' it is probably safe to assume this person is budget conscious. even for people making lots of money, housing budgets are a major concern. i have several friends making very good money (say $150k-$400k per year) who have moved out of incline in the last couple of years to places like reno and dayton specifically because they wanted to buy homes.

I’m in sales for those asking what I do. Im not looking at spending 5k a month to live in aspen but would be nice to find a good deal on a room in jackson, big sky or whistler or something of that nature. Price of ski towns is insane but im just putting it out there to see if anyone knows of something out there that’s available. I don’t want to live in slc or Utah again I already did that. Looking to live in a new place this winter. 2k rent a month is kinda the budget.

You can do pretty well with 2k and under. That's a solid budget. Thread was a bit of a shitshow.

Hope you find a good spot! Bring on the snow

*ninja*5k a month to live in aspen


When I rent it, I charge about $1000/mo for my extra room in Aspen. I'm sure you're exadurating, but nobody is charging 5k for one room in a shared living space. Even here in Aspen

But, housing in mtn towns are insane now, which is why I try to keep my prices the lowest end of the rental market that I can afford.

Good on you. But for real, I was seeing people in PC charge over 1500/month for very less-than-desirable living spaces that came with strings attached. As in the owners can boot you out at any given week for vacation rental income which leaves you homeless for a week or two. The game has gotten so fucked up. Pure greed and they know what they're doing by exploiting resort workers and service industry workers who just want to work hard and enjoy the places they live in.
