Mount Currie (Lillooet:Ts̓zil[tsʼzel]) is the northernmost summit of theGaribaldi Ranges in southwesternBritish Columbia, Canada. Its north face dominates the "skyline" of thePemberton Valley and is one of the peaks visible from theWhistler-Blackcomb Ski Area just southwest. Mount Currie is the namesake ofMount Currie, British Columbia and the adjoiningMount Currie Indian Reserve, home of theLil'wat First Nation.
The mountain was named forJohn Currie, the first permanent non-indigenous settler in the Pemberton Valley, who homesteaded theCurrie Ranch (a.k.a. "Currie's", later the name of aPacific Great Eastern Railway stop) in what is now the area of the Mount Currie community/reserve in the 1870s and was the re-builder of thePemberton Trail.[1][3]
