DESCRIPTION
Spring Lifestyle Takeover
Spring Lifestyle Takeover (SLT) started in 2015 when our Winter Lifestyle Takeover (WLT) attendees asked us to plan another Takeover so that they don’t have to wait a whole year for one.
Similar to WLT, SLT is designed as a fun, sensual and unique weekend getaway for the open-minded and adventurous. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds, singles, couples and more. Our attendees are a diverse group, between mid-20s and mid-60s, mostly in the 30s to 50s. We had people who were just starting in the lifestyle to people who have been in the lifestyle for decades.
The weekend allows people to participate as little or as much as they wish, it is entirely up to you. There is no pressure or mandatory participation, just lots of options and activities to choose from if you wish! We require all attendees to understand & practice enthusiastic verbal consent. We have a lot of returning attendees, who have now made it an annual trip for them.
During the weekend, we have daytime events such as specific Meet + Greets, excursions, seminars, workshops, discussions, demonstrations and more! Plus we have a general Meet + Greet on the first night, a Dance Party on the second night, and a Cocktail Party on the last night, plus an all-night, clothing-optional, party floor with theme rooms, playrooms and sponsors rooms.
This is a BYOB event so please bring a pool-safe container – no glass!
We will have a limited number of reusable plastic tumblers available for sale if you like to purchase one to use for the weekend. You can order in advance or buy in person for $5.00.

Whistler 2019
You should definitely attend. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. It’s an awesome opportunity to meet some new lifestyle friendly people, some of which you will continue to meet and hang out with away from this event. We have made great friends that we now travel with and can speak openly with at any time. And it’s not only about the playtime together.

It is a great way to meet people and really connect on any level that you feel comfortable. We love the weekend takeovers and will attend whenever we can.

Try it. It’s always fun and people are friendly and there is never any pressure to do anything you do or don’t want to do. You make WLT what you want it to be. That’s what I usually tell people

Whistler 2016
I have attended the WLT twice as a single female and have had an incredible time there. A definite must do once in your lifetime. Whether you choose to play or not, you will be in Whistler and have plenty to see and do and will meet some awesome people in the Lifestyle.
K 2016
The WLT events are the best Lifestyle events we’ve ever attended, and the summer edition is a little more intimate, with the added bonus of hot sunny weather, skiing, and sexy pool parties in the sunshine!
T & S 2016
Whistler is a beautiful place to be in the summer. Clothing optional hot tub in the summer – Yes please! Beautiful people, gorgeous hotel and great service. We need more people to make it out next year to make this the event of the year!
C & J 2016
This is great for people that are wanting to connect with other open minded people, make new friends, and other swinging couples. I think its a great idea for individuals who are really trying to find themselves and feel more comfortable with who they are, as well as their sexuality. I would also tell them that going to Lifestyle was one of the best things i could have possibly done and will never look back now!
M 2016
Great time and place to meet new people. Everyone is friendly and easy to along with. Atmosphere changes from event to event so you have to try more than one
R 2016
Everyone is so open, friendly and enthusiastic. It’s not as crazy as the November WLT but it’s a great way to get to know some amazing people.
L 2016
You have to go to know what it’s all about, I can’t even tell you how much fun it was! It’s a lot of fun!
F 2016
Life changing! Say goodbye to your vanilla world!
W & T 2016
As Nike says “Just Do It” or I think they say that anyways ?
A & K 2016

A & R 2016
Osoyoos 2015
The event was lots of fun and you get to meet so many new people. Everyone is so friendly and approachable. The wine tour was fantastic. We would recommend taking the shuttle as it gives you a head start meeting people and time to relax. We didn’t find the big negative of people being cliquey at all. Everyone was so friendly.
V & A 2015
Go for it! If you don’t go, you won’t know! Even if you don’t play you will meet some very nice people from all walks of life and be in a beautiful place for a holiday!
K 2015
It is a great time, a fun and safe environment to be yourself (or not), diverse and non-judgmental crowd.
R & V 2015
We always end up knowing so many people and meet lots of new people – it is totally worth attending. It is nice to have a few days with like minded people.
S & T 2015
These events are the perfect way to meet people without pressure. And, if you’re interested, a great way to have marathon sex. LOL
S & K 2015
So much fun, even for newbies. Definitely recommend it
R & B 2015
Great way to meet other lifestyle people in your area.
K & S 2015
