Nature
Skoki Mountain is a 2,707-metre peak in Banff National Park, Alberta, standing on the east side of the Skoki Valley at the head of the Red Deer River as part of the Slate Range. James F. Porter named it in 1911, using an Indigenous word said to mean marsh or swamp. At the mountain’s base stands Skoki Lodge, a historic ski lodge built in 1931, from which several routes to the summit begin. The mountain is closely tied to the lodge and to the backcountry character of the wider Skoki area.
