Poster: A snowHead
|
Thought I'd give this a shot and see if the SHs network can help out. I'm in process of potentially switching a planned trip to California over Xmas/New Year to BC as the chances of decent snow look much more promising at present. I'd like to spend the week before Xmas in Whistler if possible before returning to YVR to pick up a friend on 23/24 then going off on a road trip round the interior.
The problem I'm running into is that WB direct bookings and Allura don't show much in the way of reasonably priced accomodation for 1 person even for the week 16-23. Not looking for anything fancy as I'm on my own but Whistler doesn't really do no frills motels & I don't really fancy the drive from Squamish every day.
Anyone got any ideas for reasonable accomodation or anyone know of anyone with a spare bed/room which might be available the week before Xmas (leave am 24th at the very latest)? I know when I did a season out there that a number of seasonnaires didn't rock up until after Xmas. All areas considered - Alpine, Emerald, Nordic, Brio, Nesters, Whistler Cay etc. Can pay cash or in kind (beers). Not keen on hostels because I like decent quality sleep. There's no pressure as I can probably work something else out but thought I'd give it a shot first.
If it does work out be good to meet people for a Kokanee or more too.

hi fatbob, best to ask PaulHothersall - he might have a bit of space then. Not sure if he's got his internet sorted out yet but I'll let him know that you are looking.
Hope you get it sorted - would be great to catch up over a few beers!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

just got your message, (have just got back on internet), and an text from Hels_t all within 20 seconds. (all very spooky
I do have a (very comfy) couch available. I more than likely also have a room available for a few nights.
Everywhere is full, couch surfing everywhere, and no people with work visas to fill the jobs.

Both the B&Bs I used to stay in as a single traveller are now Chalets run by UK companies. I would be happy to hear recommendations from those in the know about where singles can stay without paying an arm and a leg......the liftpass is expensive enough as it is!
