Toured up to Hornet Lookout in the Northern Whitefish range. Saw evidence of significant wind. SW and W facing slopes were windloaded. Several HS-N-D1-R1 and 1HS-NC-D2.5-R2 slides were visable on the peak north of Hornet on the SW aspect. Some of the cornices were bus sized.

I guessed that the slides happened on the 11th or 12th. They all originated from wind pillows below the cornices. Your location mark is pretty close. The bigger slide started just below the ridge line on the lookers left side of that gully. It ran almost FP starting at about 6800' running until 5200'. The crown had drifted in but I'm guessing 12" to 18" maybe more.
