The Hope Slide

The Hope Slide was a landslide that occurred in the morning hours of January 9, 1965 in the Nicolum Valley (49°17′56″N 121°15′49″W / 49.29889°N 121.26361°W / 49.29889; -121.26361) in the Cascade Mountains near Hope, British Columbia and killed four people. The volume of rock involved in the landslide has been estimated at 47 million cubic metres.[1][2][3] It is the second largest recorded landslide in Canada (after the similarly sized 2010 Mount Meager landslide).[4]
