Surface Hoar - Sunlight Basin

Surface Hoar  - Sunlight Basin

These large potato chip like surface hoar crystals were found on north facing slopes in Sunlight Basin and other north facing slopes in the Taylor Fork.  These large crystals formed in less than two days and will more than likely be a problem when it snows again.  Photo: Eric Knoff
