Greenslide, about 16 km south of Revelstoke, was identified as an avalanche path in the 1890s when the Canadian Pacific Railway was building a branch line from Revelstoke to the head of the Upper Arrow Lake. It continues to be an active avalanche path. A small community was established in the area as an extension of the Mount Cartier community.
