"lal_truckee" wrote I've seen bear while randonee skiing - they don't all have a calendar with hibernation days marked. That's absolutely correct. Furthermore, "winter bears" are apt to be in a very bad mood and very hungry. They are greatly feared by trappers of interior Alaska. Anyone spending significant back country time in bear country should know how to avoid and how to handle bear encounters. Tommy T. |

Ahh..alas you are correct, I must have missed that through the red tint
everything had when reading it! I have seen bears during ski season, but it is very rare, and in both cases the bears showed no interest in our party, in fact they made tracks in the other direction, quickly. Never ran into any bears in the AK bc, skiing or otherwise, but then I haven't had the pleasure to spend much time there either. From the news article, these people went out of their way to put themselves in the bears faces. Not too smart, no matter how much experience you think you have, as evidenced by this attack and another notable recent predator attack in the wilds of Las Vegas. Vinnie ---- spends a good deal of time in Maryland, but only as much as I have to for work. "lal_truckee" wrote in message ... Vinnie wrote: What did you do with the real Vinnie?
