Hungry Bear

With a keen eye and a little bit of luck you could catch a glimpse of our good friend – Mr. Bear.  This particular fur ball was trying to tackle the bear proof cage for a noon day appetizer.  It is quite funny to see the reaction on some peoples face when you tell them they may see a bear.  They like to patrol up near the top of the mountain and more toward the north side of chalet village.  If you are staying in a cabin or chalet please be sure to put your trash in the bear proof containers.

 Rest assured the fear between humans and the bears is very equal.  Food is the only item these bears are trolling the mountain for.  If you taunt the bears with food they will come closer. This is where the “please do not feed the bears” comes from.

 If your real lucky you will get to see a momma and her cubs. We have watched them play and wash in the stream right outside the office window.  As soon as momma realized we were there they moved on without haste.  Summer and fall are probably the best times to catch a glimpse up here on the mountain.  More people on the mountain means more opportunity for a midday trash can raid.  A word to the wise – have your cameras handy!!
