Slide Mountain is a 2,105-metre (6,906-foot) summit located in British Columbia, Canada.[1]
Slide Mountain is situated in the Coast Mountains, east of Powell Lake and 8 km (5.0 mi) north of Beartooth Mountain. The prominent mountain is set 40 km (25 mi) north-northeast of the community of Powell River and 135 km (84 mi) northwest of Vancouver. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains west to Powell Lake and east to the Eldred River, thence Powell Lake. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) above the lake in four kilometers (2.5 miles). The first ascent of the summit was made in 1942 by Ian Kay.[3]
