    And not just a bear, but a grizzly. A biological tank that can run almost 60kph and kill a bull elk like it's nothing.

          You don't need to outski the bear. You just need to get to the point down the hill where all the tourists are standing around unfazed by the bear and outski them.

            Lol I watched this yesterday too, YouTube ski algo got us. Yeah the part where he encounters more people down below and tells them to start moving you can hear screams of terror aaaaa

            Sad and fucked up this bear is so habituated it'll walk right up to all those to people, wonder if people have been throwing snacks to it or if it's been eating out of trash cans. I'd imagine they would probably have to kill it

              It could just be that it's still basically a cub, it's supposedly not that uncommon for young bears to do dumb shit for no good reason

          that's what I'm saying. of course if you're at the point where you're that close you're kinda fucked. especially if the bear's awake when there's that much snow on the ground.

    I've got to say, that guy handled that whole situation very bravely and managed to keep that bear occupied enough not to go after all the less competent skiers.
