In Durango at Purg I was riding switch down a catwalk and damn near ran right into a Lynx......  I stopped real quick and he looked at me like "WTF dude?" and kept on doing his thing.

We saw a Lynx In the slack country of Lake Louise. The next day it was in the newspapers because I guess it strolled over to the park.

I've seen two porcupines, one in the east at Wachusett and one in the west at Alta, it was crazy. The one at Alta freaked out and climbed up a tree, but the one at Wa was dead asleep and I chilled right next to it for a while. I've also seen some snow hares and deer. Animal sightings only occur in the powiest of pows.

I have seen a mouse, and squirels, and last season when i was at Abasin I saw a porcupine.  and i found a bag of weed at breck.

the porcupine was prettty dope.....it was pretty big.  I was goin up on the chairlift and I looked over to my right and there was a porcupine level with me and the chairlift.  it was just sitting there on the top of the tree chilling/eating.

Im pretty sure this is in Morzine right? There was a happy pig knocking around the Nyon area for most of last season. I'll see if I can dig out my pick of him too.

Coolest animal i've ran across while skiing would have to be a bear up at Stratton in VT..i was chillin at the top of one of the small parks and it kinda wandered out of the woods then across the trail.  Than and I saw a mouse running around on the train at Belleayre in the Catskills..
