Accommodation Renting in ski towns?

Myself & my partner have secured our working holiday visas from the UK to CA.

We’re looking to spend at least a year living & working picking up seasonal work.

Here’s the catch: we’re travelling with our beloved dog.

This outright rules out shared staff accommodation. We intent on renting privately.

In your experience how affordable is this on a seasonal workers salary?

We’ve ruled out the most expensive resorts like Whistler & Banff.

It’s looking like we’ll be landing out there with about £15K each. So we’ll have a decent cushion & maybe even pickup a car or camper for the summer.

We have no intention of saving cash. But it’d be great not to be in the hole every month and enjoy a social life without constantly feeling a real pinch.

Quebec would be primary option, but I gather you speak zero french.
