I ' m assuming you ' re on meds and squared away in that department ? If so keep up with them . Your best bet is to find a job with employee housing but you better act quickly as jobs and beds are probably filling up fast . Find a resort that offers cheap employee housing , apply for a job and tell them you need housing . The lodges at Alta and Kirkwood are two places off the top of my head where you can live on site cheap , work and get decent ski time but there plenty of others out there . If you ' re looking to get your own place and are broke as fuck you can pretty much dismiss this idea as its pricy to begin with and everything remotely affordable in a ski town has been swiped up months ago . You could probably find a room in a town like say south lake Tahoe or SLC not a ski town but close to good skiing , but I would choose employee housing instead . Don ' t party TOO hard .
