SIlver Star ski resort, B.C.

I'm now at Silver Star ski resort near Vernon, B.C. It looks great so far, much more along the lines of what I'm looking for than Whistler, and apparently way easier to find jobs and accomodation. Whistler is of course world famous, and so it was just inundated with too many people looking to live there for the winter. But the hostel here is practically empty right now, even though the season starts in a week or two. This place is much smaller in general than Whistler, but I really like the feel of it, more of a local place and less swanky and yuppified. No offense to yuppies. So if all goes well and I'm able to find a decent job and housing, both of which sound pretty doable, then I'll likely stick around for a while. Also the skiing still looks pretty good, even though it's not on the same scale as Whistler.
