Fourteen large landslides have occurred within a 10 km stretch of the Thompson River Valley south of Ashcroft, British Columbia. The slides have had movements ranging from rapid (metres per hour) to very slow, and the largest slides have volumes approaching 15.0 x 10(6) m(3). Investigations of these slides have been conducted since the early failures of the slopes were noted in the 1860s, and have continued with the periodic reactivations and slope movements since then. This paper focuses on the Ripley Slide, which is one of the slides within the Thompson River Valley. This slide is a very slow-moving landslide, which has recently been reactivated. This landslide is crossed by a major transportation corridor and has therefore been the subject of ongoing geotechnical investigation and instrumentation. The results of this investigation are interpreted in light of the wealth of accumulated knowledge from more than a century of geotechnical investigation within this valley. The data collected from the landslide show that, like other slow-moving landslides in this valley, the seasonal fluctuations of the Thompson River elevation strongly influence the instability and the rate of slope movement. Continuous global positioning system monitoring of the movement of the landslide combined with measurement of the pore pressures within the sliding mass and elevation of the river have allowed for an empirical correlation between the limit equilibrium method modelled factor of safety and the velocity of the landslide.
