Try looking for a job outside a bike shop. You might not get your "dream job" but you'll still be living in Whistler and reap the benefits of that. Look at restaurants, bars, cafes, and hotels and see if they're hiring. You can't just limit yourself to bike shops.

I'm moving there in October for the winter season then staying for summer 2011.

Can anyone tell me if bike theft is a big problem there?
