The first thing that comes to mind when I try to envision one of these creatures, is; what kind of food do they eat/can they find at that altitude, that would support them being so big?
It's not as if it's small like a snow leopard or mountain goat.

They eat snow dinosaurs and mammoths...duh.

Well it would depend on how many there are and diet(veggies require less). Grizzlies survive quite nicely at a similar climes.

I bet its a bear print and prints get larger when snow melts.

Did you see the episode of Planet Earth: Mountains?
They actually filmed a bear up in the Himilayas. He was digging through a bunch of rocks and at first you were wondering what the hell it could find. Well it turns out he was looking for moths, which apparently are a good source of protein for the bear to stock up on before he started his hibernation. I can't remember what altitude it was, but it was way over the treeline.
