This is really interesting way of delivering information.. as a fellow creator I can see you driving around filming this in different locations :) Ski towns are crazy expensive in the states… unless your a millionaire, you’re not owning property by Breck, Tahoe, Park City, etc. No idea on housing for employees, but it always blows my mind the resorts don’t provide housing for workers considering most are seasonal 🤔

I'm trying to keep static shots to a minimum but don't have many ways of moving around besides skiing, glad it worked out for presentation. What's it like in towns close to you? I feel local councils should to more to facilitate building accommodation for seasonal/tourist workers because its not just limited to working at the ski hill. They should have their own category of housing,in the same way you'd have a secondary/rental home. Some resorts are definitely better at it than others. Revelstokes new building should alleviate pressure on places in town but it's two winters away at least.

@@BramskiVlogs honestly beyond knowing housing is expensive I can’t get too much more in the weeds of day of the life for locals as we are the tourists that drive / fly in, have a good time, then head home

I live just outside of Calgary, and it's a fairly short drive to Nakiska or Banff or even a bit more up the road to Lake Louise; or a couple hours south to Crowsnest pass.. But i definitely miss living in the mountains where i grew up in southern B.C. really close to the Idaho USA border. Loved going to nearby ski hills like Fernie, Kimberly, Nelson and Rossland near Castlegar. I'd say those places are a lot more affordable, ... but you're right on the TransCanada highway 🛣️ which is probably why Revelstoke is so much 🤑🤑🤑 i think if the town started putting in high-rise condos instead of selling off valuable acreages with timber 🪵🪵 .. then it would probably not be so expensive but then again they're taking advantage of the tourists that come down the main highway, or people from Calgary looking for a second vacation home that's quick and easy to get to on the main TransCanada highway

Also becoming the case in major European resorts. Presumably this will lead to staff shortages, which means employers will have to pay higher wages to attract labour, and employees will then be able to afford to rent. Or tourists won't be able yo afford to stay there & bring down property prices. The old supply & demand equation. Just hope it all rebalances sooner rather than later for you!

Great point, admittedly I'm biased but I'd love more building to be targeted towards young people who want to come and start a life in these towns.

Thanks for the video! Do you have any tips for the best places to look for housing? I’m on fb group and looking at Craigslist all the time for housing in Whistler for this season but it is so so competitive. Thoughts on finding an Airbnb for a couple weeks then looking once you’re out there or is that a stupid idea haha? 😂

Hi Anna, I hear Whistler is a really struggle to find anywhere too. Have you reached out to your employer to see if they know anyone? You are doing the right thing by going on facebook, what groups do they have for whistler? I would also see if there are any housing associations in Whistler as they may be able to help. The trouble with the Airbnb is it doesn't solve the issue and meanwhile you are spending more money living there while you search for a place. Are you looking for a seasonal house or somewhere to stay long term?

I think your rental prices are low actually and I doubt anyone can find a self container 1 bedroom apt. for less than $1400 and I even think that price us below market value at this point.

Thanks for commenting Francis, i'd agree they're low on a broader scale within in Canada. But the supply of all housing is so low here but Revelstoke is growing exponentially and shows no signs of slowing. Its certainly not as bad as vail, I watched that Vice news piece on their town and it sounds a ridiculous struggle.
