Vail, CO, housing rental search?

Question

I'm going for a seasonal work in Vail - CO, and I need to find some cheap place to stay. 

If any one could help me or have any information about rental apartment, hostel ore something like that in Vail or on any city next to it I would be very appreciated.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you're in for a hard time.  Worker housing in the ski areas in Colorado is a huge problem.  Unless your employer provides it, you'll surely not find anything in Vail for seasonal work in winter - way too expensive.  

You should talk to the people where you'll be working for ideas.  Some employers provide housing.  Most seasonal workers wind up miles away, sharing apartments, and commuting.  Vail had a goal of having 30% of workers living in Vail, and that included permanent workers.  I don't think they achieved it.

These articles will at least put you in the picture.  The first is almost ten years old, but I don't think the issue has changed that much.

Call your employer and ask.  You'll get better info than you will here.
