@brianatab, not sure which bears you’re thinking of, brown bears can put in short bursts up to 35mph according to google.

He seemed playful in the beginning by lying in the snow. However when the bear was chased the instructor, I think it had flipped to full on “beer mode”. It got pretty close on one occasion!

One "playful" swipe with its paw and claws could easily separate head from shoulders.
These are NEVER to be considered cuddly and/or playful.

You know it makes sense.

I did a 50k race in the same region (Brasov) a couple of years back. At the start of the race we were given a plastic whistle to ward off bears, but also told that blowing it may attract the wild dogs.
If this chap had been chasing me I may well have won it.

Reminds me of the time I was involved in Search and Rescue in New Mexico and looking for a lost hunter found some tracks which excited us until they dived under a tree which no person would have done - beat a hasty retreat!

That guy is pretty cool! I'm not sure about teaching the bear to chase skiers though? Bear spray all round!

I did the Transylvania 50k a few years back, started at Dracula's castle in Bran, I spent most of the time terrified as a mother and cub had been spotted around the checkpoints!

FAQ
, do you think it was viewing the skier as food or just wanted to play? 
The one thing they tell you never to do with a bear is to run away. Notice how it ignored the group that he passed and followed the only moving person?
