You'll encounter numerous such structures along the way: in a not-so-distant past, they were used to store snow during the warmer months, before refrigerators. Snow was piled up in these holes during the winter, and was likely pressed down to make it more compact. Finally, the snow-filled hole was most likely covered with branches, leaves, or other insulating material to prevent premature melting. Another of the many "mountain" professions now long forgotten!
