Nature
Slalok Mountain is a 2,653-metre summit in the Coast Mountains within Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, and the third-highest point in the Joffre Group of the Lillooet Ranges. Originally known as Rex's Pillar, it took its present name from the traditional name for the nearby settlement of Mount Currie, officially adopted in 1979. Its first recorded ascent came in 1963. Set in a subarctic climate influenced by Pacific weather systems, the mountain receives heavy snowfall and supports the Matier, Stonecrop, and Tszil glaciers on its northern slopes. Its runoff feeds tributaries of the Lillooet River, and its glaciated terrain makes it a destination for climbing and ski mountaineering.
