saw this on monday driving but keep forgetting about it. S side bcc accross the street from silver fork lodge, to the east of the highest switchbacky road below greens basin. where there are clearings/ holes in the trees there were small slides that fit in the holes of the trees. they didnt connect but were peepered where there were clearings. crowns were 50' across depending on clearing. If i was to try to find preserved hoar this is where i would hunt it. I would guess surface hoar is weak layer but havent gotten around to checking it out..
