Prob could have put in ski gabber but whatever...

But has it ever occurred to you how many sleeping bears you probably ski over on a seasonal basis?

How fucked would that be to fall into a bears den?

I just thought of that the other day... kind of creeped me out.

Sorry if you didn't think it was thread worthy. Go cry to someone else.
 
i fell into a bear den once, i stabbed the fucker in the eye with my ski pole and got the fuck out of there, it wasnt too big of a deal
 
Im pretty sure this exact scenario happened this season at a resort in Europe.

Then they killed the bears cubs. for no reason, fuckers
 
That's fine. They're dead.

Sleeping bears that are hungry with big gnarly teeth and cubs to protect are not.
 
Hahaha. Bears, not so much. I've never thought about all of the Marmots and Chipmunks I ski over though.
 
did you know that bears bears don't hibernate like other animals? they can wake up in a completely aware state and be ready to chase your ass down at any moment?
 
I've run over too many squirrels to count. It's sad, really.

And to MuchoMango, that's sketch as fuck!
 
a very interesting thought. i would guess between 10-30 per season. if one where to fall in a bears den I think you would have plenty of time to get out safely before the bear woke up and even then I can't say if it would attack right away. bear are misunderstood creatures.
 
Bears make dens in hallowed out old trees, and are everywhere at whistler. Chances are you have skiied right over a bear if u ski trees at whis. Can u imagine falling in a treewell and coming fave to face with a bear? Creepy shit

hmmm
 
due to the lack of bears i "woke" up two of these fuckers some years ago (not at the same time btw).

they sleep or do whatever they do totally covered in snow after it snowed and sit maybe 5 inch below the surface i would guess.

both werent too happy i guess and i almost got a heart attack when they started to fly (FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP, etc) half a meter before my tips.
 
This is pretty much what my last bear encounter looked like, just mentally add some super tall ts, some murdered out c-bars, and several feet of snow to complete the image.

there was a boy in sweden that got pulled down in a bear nest, the boy crawled out minutes later with wounds on hes legs and arms. hes friends was watching the whole thing.(they skied over the nest)
 
underground bear attack? until now i didnt believe that 2012 hype, but that shit is just too much. who whould want to live in a world with such things anyway. shit better gets destroyed NAOW. make it 2011.
 
damn. I hate you now.

This season I saw a bear, we tried to follow it and it just disappeared so like O_O.
 
Well slap my ass N call me a bitch, yer right! I'z fergot that all burrs sprout wings and fly downa Slicklizard, Alabama for the win'er!

In the 7-8 years I've spent touring, I'd venture to guess I have skied or skinned over approximately zero bears.

I've almost hit a few on my DH bike, though.
