Been there too, MuskegMan, looking for Sitka blacktails, but not in the snow, so the tracks were not so obvious. The scenario in that photo does look very familiar though. Our bears are smaller, somewhat.
I found a probable source for the map provided earlier, as well as some mention of grizzlies and livestock conflicts in the Upper Green and Union Pass - recent ones. If they are being reported in mainstream news they are not subtle. I guess there has been a resurgence.
Some versions of the conflict map are found here:
