Pre Whistler Checklist. What to Do BEFORE You Arrive!

Here is a bit of a checklist

Here is a bit of a Pre Whistler checklist (in no particular order) on what to get organised if you're planning to stay here long term. And yes, this is before you arrive to Whistler!

  1. Grocery shop - If you can, do a BIG shop in Vancouver or make frequent visits to Squamish. You will not believe how expensive the price of food is up here. Whatever price it is in Vancouver - double it for Whistler.

  2. Organise a house - some may think it is easier to secure a house whilst you are here, but... it is the same procedure (see accommodation page), where you ring and get an answering machine. If you secure your accommodation early enough, you should be set the time you arrive. Otherwise book your bed now in a hostel.

  • Get your working visa and SIN number - it is illegal for you to be employed without a visa and SIN. And basically they won't employ you without one. Why would they? Employers have thousands of qualified workers, with visa's, at their feet. See Getting Whistler Jobs in 4 Easy steps

  • Snowboard equipment and clothing - if you are needing to buy equipment and clothing, do it pre Whistler. It is a total rip off here, as in any ski resort. You can purchase your gear in Vancouver, or better still, in America. Just some of the things you will be needing are;
        Board
        Boots
        Bindings
        Helmut
        Stomp pad
        Wrist guards
        Goggles
        Gloves
        Jacket
        Pants
        Neck/face guard
        Toque/Beanie

  • Book an interview - this is something you may do while here. But if you are planning to go to the Whistler Blackcomb job fair (usually held in late October/early November), the earlier you book your interview the more flexibility you will have with the time and date of it.
