Coolest animal you have come across while skiing?

Cow Elk - Crossedl in front of me on a narrow power line trail. If I had been 6 feet farther down the hill, she would have squished me. Huge porcupine - stopped while tree skiing and didn't notice that it was asleep on a branch about 4 feet from my face. My Ausi Sheppard Jazz - skied a steep avi chute with her and she looked like a dolphin. This was at night under a full moon. Most awesome run for me ever.
 
i saw some deer trying to cross a trail on the ICE Coast and they started slipping and they were sprawling all over. they finally regained control before going into the trees. i wish i was skiing next to them! lol
 
I saw a bear, but it was pretty high up in a tree. It was kinda hugging it. Also when I was at A Basin, I saw some giant crows in the bowl. Much bigger than anything here in NJ, they have like a four foot wingspan I bet.

This guy is suspiciously waiting in the car for me most times... Weird.
 
A MOOSE on a tree run in the woods at the canyons, utahCOOLEST/SCARIEST thing ever it was HUGETOP THAT im not joking at all
 
At loveland I've seen a couple foxes, a couple porcupines, a dope lookin white weasel thing, and a squirrel with no tail, which i assume is due to a run-in with a ski edge.

once during the spring there was this adolescent black bear munching on one of those bamboo poles on the side of a run and there were all these japanese tourists taking off their skis and taking pictures of it from a highly dangerous distance.

during the summer, bears are everywhere. we counted them from the lift on the way down. probably about 8.
 
fish, mice, deer

i managed to grab a squirrel once, but i was hauling ass when i got it, and was so excited that i had actually managed to catch it that i totally forgot what to do next, so i lost my balance, ate shit, and lost the squirrel.

 
I've seen dogs in people's cars waitin for em. I'm so jealous, my dog would probly rip the steering wheel off, and her fur's too short I'd probly have a dogsicle waiting for me.

Oh and I've seen a bear at the mtn of my youth: mt creek NJ of all places.
 
theres a porcupine that lives in a tree under the chairlift. other than that ive seen a deer run across the end of a rail at bruno and some bears from the chairlift at whistler which i was fucking stoked about.
 
ravens, they are sick as fuck and craftier than most humans. ive seen foxes a few times at copper and a bear once after hours just chilling under superbee. never seen anythin to cool in oregon
 
i saw pedifilepeter waiting around the top of First Time lift at PC hunting for prey. Ironic he was at first time. such an animal
 
wasnt skiing, but one time we went for a ride into glacier park.. coming down logan pass just cruisin a bear crossed the road about 20 yards ahead of us.
