害羞草研究所淚 was just skiing alone enjoying a nice sunny afternoon害羞草研究所 I saw something on the run and thought 害羞草研究所極h, there害羞草研究所檚 a bear there,害羞草研究所櫤π卟菅芯克鶟 Jamie Stein told Black Press Media Monday.

Stein was on his last run of the day, heading toward the Crystal Ridge Express chairlift, when he saw the animal.

He stopped, figuring he害羞草研究所檇 give the bear a chance to cross the run undisturbed and maybe get a video clip for his kids.

害羞草研究所淏ut when I started to ski by, I realized it had a really tiny cub with i, so I just tried to stay to one side,害羞草研究所 he said.

害羞草研究所淭he bear kind of took three or four steps towards me and I thought, 害羞草研究所業 don害羞草研究所檛 blame it, I would too.害羞草研究所櫤π卟菅芯克鶟

But when Stein stopped downhill of the bear, he realized why it had started to advance.

害羞草研究所淭here was a second cub on the other side of the run, so I害羞草研究所檇 actually skied between the mama bear and the other cub.害羞草研究所

As a frequent Whistler hiker who害羞草研究所檚 seen plenty of black bears in the area, Stein said he wasn害羞草研究所檛 too too worried 害羞草研究所 only a bit concerned he might fall right in front of the hungry mama bear.

害羞草研究所淚 was just like, 害羞草研究所楰eep your skis straight, just let it rip,害羞草研究所櫤π卟菅芯克鶟 and took off.
