Record Mountain is a 2113abbr=offNaNabbr=off summit in British Columbia, Canada.
Record Mountain is the seventh-highest peak in the Rossland Range which is a subrange of the Monashee Mountains.[1] The peak is located 6km (04miles) west-northwest of the community of Rossland and 3km (02miles) west of the Red Mountain Ski Resort. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Columbia River. Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises over 1,400 metres (4,593 ft) above Big Sheep Creek in 4.5km (02.8miles). The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on June 2, 1950, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada, although the name's origin/significance is not known.[4] However, the name was published as early as 1901, if not earlier.[5] One possible clue, Rossland's first newspaper, The Record also known as Rossland Record, was established in February 1895 by Eber C. Smith.[6] [7]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Record Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and warm summers.[8] Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °C with wind chill factors below −20 °C. The peak receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter and as thunderstorms in summer.
