Just as we turned a corner while skiing on the Blacktail plateau we came across this guy having breakfast. We watched him for a minute but when he stomped his front hoof and gave us a grunt knew it was time for Quick U turn. We did not get to ski to our planned destination but it was a good day nonetheless.

Hi Ellie, he was big yet not scary. We just let be and gave him room. It’s his territory.

Fantastic that you were able to squeeze off this photo, Mike. whew! That’s a frightening sight…your U-turn was wise. This is what is so fun about being in nature, the unpredictability of the wildlife.
