Replying to Encountering Bear at Sugarloaf

Last year I was at Sugarloaf and I ran into a black bear while in a glade. I had nothing to fend for myself but two measly poles. I released it had blocked the path I had to take so I waved my ski pole at it and it moved out of the way so I tried to speed by. I just escaped as it tried to run after me but its paws sank into the snow. Not sure how I feel going into glades at Sugarloaf know and if I was you I wouldn't do it either. Anyone else from the area have a similar story?
