Im in staff rite now. Its basic, basicly like a uni halls. You cant book before hand, you just have to show up, when i rocked up i couldnt get in for a about 2 weeks and had to stay on a sofa. Only thing you can do is keep trying everyday.

They 100% will not book in advance. It costs about $400 a month to stay in a single and its a little cheaper if you share a room. The main building is on glacier lane which is just above the lift, takes about 30 seconds to ride down a ski piest to the station. Thats your best bet the other buildings are a little out of town.

Goto the whistler blackcomb site, in the search box type in jobs, click the first link and there should be a thing about staff housing.
