Nature
Slide Mountain is a 2,105-metre peak in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, east of Powell Lake and north-northeast of Powell River. It is notable for its dramatic relief, rising about 2,000 metres above Powell Lake within just 4 kilometres, which gives it an exceptionally steep profile. Water from the mountain drains west to Powell Lake and east to the Eldred River, which also flows to the lake. The mountain lies in a marine west coast climate shaped by moist Pacific systems, bringing heavy precipitation, deep winter snowfall, and severe cold. Its first recorded ascent was made in 1942 by Ian Kay.
