Winter Employment
Visit http://www.mywcss.org/afford.html for the Whistler Community Services Society Whistler Affordability Guide which is a great resource for living in Whistler on a budget. Some employers hire their staff early (especially for the winter season), and wait until the season actually starts before putting them to work. BE PREPARED & HAVE EXTRA MONEY TO LIVE ON because even if you find a job, it could be a few weeks before you receive a paycheque. Summer Employment Whistler golf courses, hotels, stores, and restaurants have a very busy summer season which usually begins in June. The mountains are open for glacier skiing/snowboarding and mountain biking, and there is an increased demand in the labour and consruction industry.
