I was just dropping in and I got snaked by a f*cking family of bears. That's a park collision you want to avoid.

so funny how everybody shits a brick when the see a bear, there so used to people up there they dont even give you a second glance even the sow's dont really do much if for whatever reason you cross between her and her cubs i walked up to one with a friend going down schleyer last season and it just trotted away nothing to worry about

kyman09 (Aug 5, 2009 at 21:03)

There's a story about a guy and his girlfriend that were riding at a mountain (I forget where sorry) and the guy was infront and his girlfriend behind him and when he got to the bottom of the hill his girlfriend never cam down and when he found her she was being eaten by a bear Frown

Yes the chances of being attacked by a bear are slim but that doesn't mean it's not possible to be attacked so keep a safe distance tup
