Too close for comfort.

Just yesterday while enjoying a rollerski with Biathlonschool.com team mate Joel Pacas we were reminded that we do indeed share our Nordic Center with the surrounding wildlife. Even though we were on a paved path it does not mean we are safe and sound. At the end of the 4km loop just as we pointed out skis downhill another athlete yells out loud "Theres a bear down there" well with our skis already pointed downhill we were kind of helpless and were soon getting closer and closer the black bear and its two cute cubs. Getting as close as 20 meters. So just a small reminder to everyone they are out there so make sure you are prepared. For info on what to do when encountering a bear visit http://www.mountainnature.com/Wildlife/Bears/BearEncounters.htm
