Skihist Mountain is the highest mountain in the Cantilever Range and in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the southern boundary of Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park, about 20 km (12 mi) west of Lytton.
Skihist Mountain consists of a north-south aligned ridge. Kent Creek drains its northern slopes while Nesbitt Creek drains the south and west slopes. Both creeks feed the Stein River. On its eastern slopes, it is drained by North Kwoiek Creeks, which originates in the mountain's namesake lake, Skihist Lake, a small mountain lake located approximately three kilometers southesast of Skihist's summit.[2]
The peak is most easily climbed via its south slopes, from the North Kwoiek Creek drainage.[3]
