About Snowslip
Snowslip is a tiny mountain community of about 40 people in the Bear Creek valley along US-2, seven miles southwest of Marias Pass. Surrounded by Flathead National Forest with Glacier National Park just across the Hi-Line, it is essentially a wilderness outpost — the BNSF railway and Amtrak's Empire Builder pass through, but services are minimal and Essex is the nearest real town.
