 Poster: A snowHead
|
A cafe-skier at Steamboat in Colorado, filming a little girl running around ski racks, suddenly got more interested in a moose running up a piste.
Here's the video [and report from denverpost.com]. Warning: the music is like moose-sick

For the most part, skiers on camera at Steamboat did the right thing, giving the moose plenty of space and not trying to get too close or aggressively interact with it.
"They're a larger animal, and they are not typically afraid of people," Randy Hampton, a Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman, said of moose. "Because of their tolerance, people can sometimes get too close." |
Indeed. What would you do if you were skiing towards a moose?

Ski away from it probably, although I am told that they can run really fast and nothing gets in their way as they are about twice the size of a cow.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

very dangerous Moose are as big as horses with an attitude
In a Swedish resort a raindeer followed skiers on the pistes and also the cross country skiers for
up to 6km and this carried on for a few days Now that i would enjoy but coming across a moose no way jose

I skiied in Jackson Hole several years ago. A resort worker stopped us going down one of the trails through the trees as there was a moose enjoying that area. It was a big animal. The journey between the airport and the town of Jackson Hole took us through part of a huge wild animal reserve. From the road we could see thousands of animals, not really sure what but some mix of moose, elk, raindeer and so on.

Woody Allen had an encounter with a Moose once. Link 
'Play' is in blue next to the heart on the right of the box.

Those are elks. There's an elk wintering ground right outside of town.
