The resident shop squirrel at Trollhaugen tried to claw into my lunchbox when I left it on the floor.
At Whistler a couple Summers ago I saw a bear just strolling through the village while we were inside having breakfast.
Also there, we saw this weasel or wombat looking creature walking around by the restaurant and gondola at the halfway point up the mountain.

Hell yeah you saw a Marmot! They’re the biggest chillers I always see them at hood sun bathing
Week after the end of Loon's season about 12 years ago I was sitting on the balcony of the condo we were staying at and saw a black bear and her three cubs walking across LMP. The cubs were rolling down the trail and then clambering back up to mom. They dipped into the trees between trails and cut across a few more before disappearing into the old Scaler glade.
We were doing early season snowmaking work at northstar grave shift. We hadn't turned onfot the season but were getting everything ready. Getting hoses on guns, guns out into the trail. So it was silent still. Saw eyes come out of the woods and up towards us. There's mtn lions around but it was just a bobcat. Got close enough to see it clearly then dipped into the woods on the other side and away into the night.

There's a resident Mtn Lion at the place I worked at all winter. Homeowners who were also coworkers told me stories about him ripping peoples dogs apart. His name is Steve French and making a joke about him "Just being a big stoned kitty" did not sit well. Oops.
Zermatt is known for their black nosed sheep and i saw some of them when i was out there skiing last september. they’re so funny looking they’re like stuffed animals
Its kinda fucked-up but when I was working on golf courses in Park City, we had a female Elk die on the driving range. We all showed up one morning to find her on one of our target greens. My superintendent scooped it up in the bucket and just let it chill until Fish & Game showed up to retrieve it
I was riding up the chairlift at Sugar Bush with the fam and all of sudden guess who comes out of the woods. Not @eheath but a moose. A big brown moose.
Once skiing Boomerang at Marble Mountain as the golden hour was setting in, it was a perfect, windless day with about 10 cm of fresh. I popped out of the shadow into the sunlight off a little rock hit into a perfect wide open landing, just as the opening bars of Natural Mystic started to play in my headphones. As I sailed through the air, two ptarmigan flushed out from under the rock, joining me in perfect flight, their wing tips and the airborne slough catching the golden sunlight.
Also at Marble, opening was delayed because there was a moose with a broken leg on Boomerang. We had to wait for someone to shoot the beast and remove it from the hill.
Deep in the trees, off the map at Marble again, I came across an uncommonly large snowshoe hare, the biggest I've ever seen. I didn't know they could get anywhere near so huge.

Couple years ago at Targhee someone smoked a groundhog, we told guests it was a hydro leak from a cat. Saw a wolverine while grooming last year, that was pretty cool.
Also had a crew of foxes who would follow us around while we were grooming, and eat the mice that were stirred up by the tiller. Was pretty cool except when they'd leave bigass holes in conspicuous spots.

hydro fluid was almost always my go to answer whenever our cat guys turned critters into a pink mist lol
Not at a resort but one time I was hiking to a couloir in like August and a big ass mountain goat wouldn't let us pass. We tried to go around and make a bunch of noise and nothing worked, he just kept following us until we finally went back the way we came.
had a flying squirrel land on my jacket and ride with me for a little bit when i was night skiing in connecticut one time. it was bitterly cold out, and i think it was happy to get a bit of my body heat.
i also ran over a mouse at hood one time in the trees going down to flood, but that was far less charming. definitely going to hell for that one.
