Finding Somewhere To Live
Moving to a new place can be daunting, in particular finding somewhere to live. WAS understands this and we want to offer some tips to help you once you arrive in Whistler.
WINTER:
As the Winter season is challenging to find housing WAS recommends booking at least the first 3 weeks in Whistler at the HI Hostel or somewhere similar (a B&B or inexpensive hotel option).
New in 2021, the HI Hostel has a Work-For-Stay program that students can apply for – see this link for details:

Please also read the ‘where to look for housing’ content and start your search prior to arriving in Whistler.
Housing Recommendation
Where to look for housing?
- Pique Newspaper Online
- Craigslist
- Airbnb
WAS recommends the following two accommodation providers for short-term stay upon arrival. Reason why WAS recommends the Whistler HiHostel and Whistler Athlete Center, they both have the benefits of providing:
- walking distance to school
- affordable rates
- a social environment to meet like-minded people
