Close Encounter: Skier Narrowly Avoids Collision with Galloping Bear in Lake Tahoe

Skiers and snowboarders at Heavenly Resort in South Lake Tahoe, California, had close encounters with a black bear crossing the slopes. Video footage shows the bear charging across the path, narrowly missing some skiers. In another incident in Romania, a skier was chased by a bear down the mountain, but managed to escape by ditching his bag. Both incidents highlight the importance of being aware of wildlife in bear country and taking precautions for safety.
