Toto, I don't think we're in the Flathead anymore

Day off tour in southern Glacier NP. 

• 3-5" of new, low density snow. This snow was easilyu transported by some mderate gusts of wind. We saw some blowing snow at ridges but no drifting. 
• Recent southwesterly winds have built bulbous cornices above easterly slopes that were easily triggered with hard stomps. The hard debris did not trigger slabs on steep (40*) slopes below, only shallow, long-running sluffs.
• A ski cut triggered one sluff on a steep, easterly gullly wall at mid elevations. Slow moving. 
• We felt no collapses and saw no shooting cracks. Or any recent avalanche activity, though new snow and (later in the day) flat light may have camoflaged crowns and debris.
• When probing and sometimes when skinning, the recent snow felt hollow - a dense, maybe wind drifted layer over softer snow. Deeper crusts were hard to find probing with a ski pole. Didn't feel like digging in the cold to investigate further when the terrain didn't demand it.

With the hollow feeling snow, recent wind and storm snow, we kept it simple - picking lines on planar slopes less than 35 degrees.
