The Outpost – Mount Lequereux

The Outpost – Mount Lequereux

The LQ Outpost is situated on the north flank of Mt. Lequereux (pronounced Le-care’-ouu) at an elevation of 2,200 meters. From the lodge enjoy the incredible views of the Valkyr Range to the west, Valhalla Range to the east and the Selkirk Range to the north. Heated by wood and powered by solar and micro-hydro systems, the Outpost has all the comforts and modern conveniences: indoor plumbing with 3 bathrooms/2 showers, AC power for lights and charging stations. The fully outfitted kitchen is a great space to produce mouth-watering meals. After putting your skis away a wood fired sauna is just a few steps away to complete your ski touring agenda.

In the fall of 2021 we added two wings onto the Outpost which doubled the living space on two floors. New additions are a large living room, office, staff accommodation in two rooms and a bathroom on the main floor. The new wing on the ground floor added 3 new guest bedrooms, a second bathroom with shower. This increased the capacity to 12 guests in 6 bedrooms plus additional rooms for staff. To give a finished look, new flooring was laid throughout the lodge.

These improvements were done with the assistance of the PacifiCan Tourism Relief fund.

The Skiing – Mt. Lequereux. Experience a ski-touring dreamscape on all aspects of the mountain. Ski runs like The Machine (one of the best treed runs in the Kootenays), through steep old growth forest, work your turns on rolling alpine terrain or hone your skills on technical terrain, steep treeline chutes, alpine couloirs or a full day tour with 900 m runs top to bottom! There’s plenty of sheltered runs for low vis or stormy days.

Summer Hiking Holidays and Retreats. Explore the vast rolling alpine meadows, stroll beside the lakes and tarns and take in the mountain vistas at the Outpost. The Outpost is included in our Valkyr Traverse packages for an elevated alpine experience! The new large common room is perfect for yoga retreats and if weather allows the lessons can be moved outside onto deep mossy meadows for an ethereal experience.
