No, it wouldn’t surprise me if you got a December 1st to April 30th lease. Assuming some houses/rooms don’t get filled by the end of November, that’s most likely what the lease will turn into. Still, you’d be a lot safer organising a room sooner rather than later, even if you have to pay an extra month.

Somewhere like the Southside Lodge would be best to stay at, in worst case scenario. http://www.southsidelodge.com/southside.php - note: this is very expensive for the type of accommodation.

Keep posting in this thread and we’ll catch up for a shred and beers when you arrive! shaka

A mate in whistler summed it up pretty well with his facebook status -

“It’s not cocaine falling from the skies, it is in fact snow. But I’m pretty sure it has a similar effect on the population of Whistler.”

Stealing that because it is so true. Everyone here who hasn’t got a job so far was pretty down this morning but the snow this arvo lifted everyone spirits. It was a good 4 inches (thats what she said?) in the village and even more in Alpine/Nordic

Also, Hostel wise I would be looking at the HI-Whistler. It’s a bit out of the way, but you live like a king. It is the old athletes village so its like living in a hotel with dorms. I stayed there for 8 days and would recommend it to anyone so long as you’re social smile. Just checked southside… holy shit thats expensive.

We arrive on the morning of November 25th. We are going to spend a couple of days in Vancouver to hit up Costco and pick up all our gear etc. I’m going to be riding as soon as possible, hopefully on the 27th. Can’t wait!

Yeah I’ll be there for the whole season again, my flight gets in on the 30th so a little late but my contract with work at the moment goes until then. Could have gotten out of it earlier but figured some extra cash for rent etc would be worth it.
