One time I had a mouse on my ski and I freaked out on camera and flung it in the air almost hitting my friend. Today there was also a husky that was running around the hill and off lips....funniest thing ever....kinda got in the way for people who were riding. Any encounters with animals post them....hopefully no one has got mauled by a bear or something...if so contact the bear help hotline: 1800-273-8255

North side of the hill I ride at has signs warning to watch out for wild turkeys. I've definitely wondered what it'd be like to spook one up.

when i was in la grave france people were allowed to bring their dogs in the gondola with them. theyd just chase after their owners wallowing through the pow. seemed like the dogs were lovin it.



if you count summer skiing, i probably see like 5 bears a day goin up to the glacier


i almost hit a moose on a sled once, but that wasnt at a resort.

At the top of the double chair at saddleback in Maine you can hold out birdseed and a certain type of bird flys up almost immediately and eats it out of your hands.

Few years back I came one foot away from hitting a squirrel. I was sitting down on my skis going super fast down the slope and this little bugger came out of no where and caused me to yard sale.
