Slide Mountain is a 9,702-foot (2,957 m) peak in the Carson Range near Reno, in Washoe County, Nevada.

This gives the barren slopes a whitish color, and the distinctive slide zones are plainly visible from points to the southeast of the mountain in Washoe Valley.

The slide ran immediately into Price Lake in a small valley halfway down the mountain.

The debris flow severed the older US 395 highway, and partially covered the newer US 395 freeway.
