This formation reminded me of a snail's shell and it was the only one like it I saw all day.

Oh, in case you care, the formation was roughly the size of a basketball.

Not sure this qualifies as a 'snow roller' - 'cause it's on a slope. Nice image though!

Neat-o! I've seen these before, but never knew they had a name.
