Mount Barbour is a 2,290-metre (7,513-foot) summit located in the Pemberton Valley of British Columbia, Canada.
The mountain is named after Charles Barbour (died July 1, 1940), Pemberton pioneer and partner with Alex McLeod in development of the Gold King and Crown groups of mining claims south of Tenquille Creek during the pre-World War I era.
[5] The correct spelling of mountain's toponym was officially adopted November 17, 1981, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
[6] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
