While jobs are easy to find in Whistler, accommodation is a bit more challenging to secure. Many employers won't give you a job unless you have a place to stay in Whistler and if you live to the south or north and there is a snowstorm which closes the highway, you can't get to work.

Finding an Apartment, House, Flat, Roommate, etc. in Whistler

Your best bet for finding a place to live is through Craigslist and through the local papers. Word-of-mouth is also a good way to find out about housing opportunities so be sure to let everyone you know in Whistler or even the ones you've just met that your looking for a place to live. You never know who may know about a housing spot thats just opened up.

If you are working for Whistler Blackcomb, be sure to check with them about employee housing options because they house many of their employees over the winter season and offer a staff housing discount. Its not luxury accommodation, but its a place to lay your head.
