Although going from "Carwith" to "Homeful" in Whistler is an arduous task, it can be done. The instructions are relatively simple.
Walk to the Day lots at Whistler. Accidentally fall into step next to someone. Since this is awkward, say hi and introduce yourself. The man's name will be Rico, and he will be pulling on a cigarette like his very life depends on it. He is from Germany and will be lamenting his recent failure to pay his car insurance, resulting in a fine. To boost his spirits, mention that you are homeless. At this point he will give you a number to call in Vancouver. Call this number from a payphone while standing in the rain. Be very courteous, and the man on the other end will grant you a bed to sleep in until Dec 1. Do not have a heart attack. Calmly hang up the phone, then jump up and down and scream like you just won the lottery, because you did.
Finally you can take the skis and bike off the roof, pack up your sleeping bag, and spend a few months in the company of eclectic foreigners who, for the most part, speak English. But make sure to find a place from December onward, because carwithness in the dead of Canadian winter is a grim prospect indeed.
Yipee!!!
