Anybody else ever encounter animals on their slopes? because today when i was skiing i almost landed on a racoon. it was a really big suprise (of course), id never even seen an animal anywhere on the hill, and then heres this fucking racoon right next to me, it came out of nowhere. i was pretty freaked, but my friend thought it was hilarious, which it was looking back. anyway, does anybody else have a story like this? it seemed pretty weird.

I was going at the top of Lift 2 at Vail going down Avanti, a couple of years ago, and there was a huge beetle walking across. I saved his life.

I saw a moose at Bridger before they opened this year.  There's also a ton of ermines around, we saw one air a 5-6' cliff into powder a few weeks ago.  That's probably the sickest line I've seen any animal do before, save for mountain goats.

I have:

9 goats
2 roosters
a dog
and a llama

no joke. The goats are really nice. You can go up and pet them and they just stand there and baaaaa. the roosters were kinda funny though

I always used to see the same porcupine at Crested Butte munchinng on bark, he was huge. I see white feretts all the time. I often see big horn sheep and mountain goats when I'm backcountry skiing. I once saw a mountain goat fall about 15-20 feet down a cliff, then get back up and keep climbing like nothing happened, amazing!

this brings a good story to my mind. I was on the lift one day and saw a rodent ( mouse or something like that) run across a trail. a snowboarder was passing by and did a heelside turn and sliced his head off . im not sure if it was on purpose or not but  the head went flying 10 feet farther and there was a little blood spewing . It was the goriest and funniest thing i have ever witnessed

Ive seen a rabbit running across a trail, but thats about it. I have yet to see a moose or deer on a mountain even though I see their tracks everywhere.
