Whistler Blackcomb

Easy! Just ring us on 1300 295 579, or email enquiry@theworkingholidayclub.com

This location has 3 different locations for shared staff housing and rooms are generally 2-4 people per room with bunk beds or single beds – Allocations are determined by the resort NOT TWHC. Once you have a job contract and get access to the Vail Staff Housing portal is when you can put through any requests to Vail of who you want to share with.

LOTS of nightlife with bars, clubs and extra curricular options

There are a range of outdoor and indoor roles available. Lift operations, base area operations (snow clearing, parking & cleaning), retail, rentals, ticket sales and scanning, food & beverage, tube park, ski school sales. The number of each role is based on seasonal requests from the resort.

Yes!! Also Vail owns and operates Whistler Blackcomb amongst a tonne of other resorts mainly based in the USA. Your pass gives you limited access at each resort as a staff member. BEFORE you leave on an epic road trip – ensure you have advised your managers of your plans to visit other Vail resorts as they need to complete internal emails and checks prior to your departure. Should you just rock up and expect to be let on the hill with your WB staff pass, you will not be granted access. Ask and clarify details before you go!

The TWHC will assist with your first seasons contract. The ball is in your court – we help you get the job, you need to work hard to keep it. Ongoing extension of contracts are based on seasonal performance and at the determination of management, as is Housing. If in doubt – ask your manager.

You have to have been offered, and accepted, a full-time job with Whistler Blackcomb to live-in HOUSE during the winter season. Once you have accepted your full-time job, you can move into housing a maximum 7 days before your start date.

• Our office is open seven days a week, to answer all your questions, and help with any issues that may arise. On every level of each building, you will find a House Advisor.
• These individuals are on-call overnight to deal with lockouts, noise complaints, or anything that arises after the office closes at 6:00 pm. You will be living with our Whistler Blackcomb employees, who are here to make the most of their season, and have an awesome winter!

You only need to give 2 weeks notice when you are ready to leave. Just head to the Staff Housing office to arrange this when you are ready.
