The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Snowslip is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Flathead County, Montana, United States. As of the 2020 census, Snowslip had a population of 39. It is in the eastern part of the county, along U.S. Route 2, 7 miles (11 km) southwest of where the highway crosses the Continental Divide at Marias Pass. The community is in the valley of Bear Creek and is surrounded by Flathead National Forest. The BNSF Railway Hi-Line route passes along the northwest side of the valley just outside the CDP. Glacier National Park is to the northwest, across the Hi-Line. Snowslip was first listed as a CDP prior to the 2020 census.

Half of its homes were built before 1992.

Nothing in Snowslip is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Snowslip has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Fielding Snowshoe Patrol Cabin in Snowslip, 1.6 miles away.
