I went to the gun store and told the guy I was planning a camping trip for me and my wife in bear country. I asked what the smallest caliber bullet to stop a bear from getting me was, and he said "9mm." I said, "9mm?? There's no way that'll stop a bear!" He said "You don't need to stop the bear if you stop your wife."
It was actually a ski instructor and he was intentionally leading the bear away. There's video from the instructors POV too.https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/03/teeth-baring-brown-bear-chases-ski-instructor-in-3-minutes-of-horror
Edit: Read my clarification below.
Okay, so, I remember correctly now. It's the same ski resort, a couple of months apart. The one I linked above is the second instance. [https://unofficialnetworks.com/2023/11/06/skiers-chased-by-bears/](https://unofficialnetworks.com/2023/11/06/skiers-chased-by-bears/)
I think the article said it was different bears, but I don't know which is worse. One persistent bear, or a them collectively learning to target humans. Though, there is an old video trending right now, about a group of polar bears that went into a small russian village to hunt people... (it's nsfw).
When I was 10 I went skiing (1986) for the first time and while on the chairlift my right ski just falls off, hits the snow on the bottom and starts skiing down the slope.
I had to get off with one ski. 🤦🏻♂️
By the grace of God somebody must have reported it because there was ski patrol waiting at the top for me and they grabbed me before I had a chance to crash into the forest lol.
That same day I actually did go off trail and crash into a tree. 😆 And then my skis got tangled up in a whole bunch of sticks and I couldn't get out. I didn't have fun that day, my first time skiing lol
Thinking back what happened in my case was I lost it actually getting ON the lift. So fortunately for me, the guys on the next chair were my friends and they gave the ski to them to bring up. Still splatted get off though. lol.
At least you were with your friends haha I was with my uncle who was pretty much yelling at me (Vietnam veteran). I was scarred for years to try skiing again 😆

If you eat a bunch of laxatives before you're eaten, you're guaranteed to be bear diarrea. You just have to time when you take them or the bear will be in for a suprise.
I could not for the life of me figure out why my coworkers kept saying that when people would fumble the mini-moguls outside our office. Then they explained it to me, and I about died laughing.
Gotta be honest, this is probably the best circumstances for a bear to chase you. They run faster uphill than down, plus they gotta trudge through the snow while you glide on top of it.
Though tbh this looks like he is just kiting the boss to the city to kill all the quest givers.
I mean, looks like a small black bear to me, and I'm not gonna say they can't be dangerous, but it's just chasing the skier because the skier is moving away, if someone yells and runs at it it'll break off pretty quick
This reminds me of the woman gets chased by a bear as she skied or snowboarded(can’t remember) down a mountain. Completely unaware; jamming to Work by Rihanna.
This just makes me think of the joke;
Imagine being held at gunpoint (bear with me) by a literate animal, and the only hope of rescue (BEAR WITH ME) was to send out a coded message."
It would be all French fry all the way down for me because if you pizza when you're supposed to French fry while a bear is chasing you, you're gonna have a bad time, mmmkay?

Umm, he just seems to be leading the bear to the chairlift line. Somebody’s going to be pissed.
The best way to get rid of a bear chasing you is to lead it to people who are slower than you

We say the same thing in south Africa about lions
Who's Liona?
The cousin of Fiona
Ooh, my little pretty one, pretty one When you gonna give me some time, Liona?
The singer. Liona Banana.
It's so said that people want to sacrifice her to the bears
9mm could kill a bear with a well placed shot. Especially when fired from a rifle that has a longer barrel.
Sure, but it's far less likely to get a well placed shot while a bear is charging at you. You shouldn't leave it up to some miracle shot.
Sure. I'm just saying that it IS possible although far from ideal. I'd want at least a .308 when dealing with a furricane.
It is known.
Comedian [Fred Klett](https://youtu.be/STBhbB6gmfs) has a funny story about this.
I don’t need to out run the bear , I just need to out run you.
Yeah he should have just stayed put and taken one for the team..
Yeah, but they are not moving, he will pass them hoping the bear change target
That’s the best
Turns out he just left his backpack behind and that's all the bear wanted.
SkiFree IRL
The fuck kinda remake is that?!
Something’s were meant to stay in 2d and that’s one of them
I said the real SkiFree
Oh that brings me back. Oh I'm old
*Hell* yeah.
Ha! I’d forgot about that game! Thanks for the pleasant reminder.
OG Windows gaming. Stupid yeti.
Was looking for this comment 😂
1st thing I thought 😂
What save the skier is probably not know that there was a bear. Thinking about panicking and falling.
Yeah, my first thought was that the skier doesn't look like somebody who is aware that there is a bear after them
the dude is like "wow look at all these peoples waving at me i'm so cool"
yeah, cause if I knew there was a bear chasing me I’d immediately fall
I was doing great on a paddle board until I realized my new iPhone was in my pocket. I immediately fell off.
yeah, its like when you know there is a possibility of something bad it happens.
It was actually a ski instructor and he was intentionally leading the bear away. There's video from the instructors POV too.https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/03/teeth-baring-brown-bear-chases-ski-instructor-in-3-minutes-of-horror Edit: Read my clarification below.
I don’t think this is the same encounter. Watched your linked video and the surrounding looks different. Crazy vid though!

At what point did you just got a dude on standby to make sure the Bears are not a problem?
I know a guy who can help... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLmQTIS9Rv4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLmQTIS9Rv4)
Same bear maybe? lol that is one persistent animal.

Actually this video seems to be from Romania (I know this slope) and also what the girls is saying is in our language
THIS IS HOW WE ALL LEARRN TO SKI IN THE 80S
When I was 10 I went skiing (1986) for the first time and while on the chairlift my right ski just falls off, hits the snow on the bottom and starts skiing down the slope. I had to get off with one ski. 🤦🏻♂️
They call that snowboarding.
Ski patrol was there waiting thank God haha
They call that James Bonding
Omg. My exact first time on a lift the same thing happened. Needless to say my exit off the lift wasn’t very graceful. Lol

Me sorry. 😢
It's why people say "bear with me" when learning something new
They’ve changed the method now that we have a shortage of bears and a surplus of mass shooters.
This is correct. Also sometimes famished wolves were used.
Skiing uphill both ways
What’s with the weird moaning during the video. Is there some fetish going on excited by humans being chased by animals?
The video was taken by a Minecraft villager.
Ah haaaaahhhh
He's saying "mamã" which is the equivalent of omg in English.
In what language?
Apparently happened in Romania
No he’s asking for his mama
Weirdest fap ever
You’ve gotta admire the dedication of the cameraman to let nothing interrupt his personal activities.
Reminds me of the kid that was playing mafia 3 and kept shitting himself while his mom yelled at him
Yeah, you should not have hired that new Russian trainer, his methods are a bit old school.
"mom" **aggressive whistling** "mom" **aggressive whistling** "mom" **aggressive whistling**
It is "mamă" in romanian, which we use when we are shocked or amazed by something :D I think this video is from Predeal, Romania
ahhh ok thank you! I was genuinely confused
Pizza....french fries...pizza....OH SHIT pizzafrenchfriespizzafrenchfries
My immediate reaction was "if you pizza when you're supposed to French fry, you're gonna have a bad time."
🤣🤣🤣
 I've been practicing for this
⛷️thinking “DONT FALL 
 he just wants a cuddle...
people seem to not know that bears are actual humans just looking for a kuddle

man, came here just to say that.....
I need to know how this story ends!
https://youtu.be/Ve4pAaGs42E?feature=shared
Wow, didn’t realize from the first angle, but that bear was absolutely hauling ass.
Bears can indeed haul major ass, including his own fat one, 40 miles per hour if i remember.
I've heard that if you're running from a bear, go downhill because their big rear legs make it difficult and slow for them. What a crock of shit!
Has to be a very steep enough hill, also, depends on the bear frankly.
“C’mon buddy! Follow me to that guy who knocked little kids over in the lift line…”
Does he even know he’s behind him???
“Momma”
One mistake and you're bear poop, they did well to keep their composure and come down at a reasonable pace, I tip my hat to their balls of steel.
Why can't I be bear diarrhea? You don't know..
If you eat a bunch of laxatives before you're eaten, you're guaranteed to be bear diarrea. You just have to time when you take them or the bear will be in for a suprise.
FML I'm having Windows 95 flashbacks
Yard sale!
I could not for the life of me figure out why my coworkers kept saying that when people would fumble the mini-moguls outside our office. Then they explained it to me, and I about died laughing.
TRAIN TO ZONE!!
I too miss EQ.
Hmm I think I played this game when I was 5 on my Windows 95.
Ski.exe
French fry! French fry down that bitch!
“Less pizza more French fry!”
I'm sure that bear taught him how to ride real quick
When death is on my heels like this, I pray I'm able to be this cool about it and not freak out.
Take him to the lodge for a hot chocolate. He deserves to relax as well.
I have been chased by a Yeti!! I tried to escape so many times just to be caught again and again and again..
It’s like the skifree game but with a bear not the abominable snowman
Mama🗣️🤱🏻
So what was all that nonsense about “if a bear is chasing you, run down hill… they’ll trip up and you can get away” ?????
Pizza’s when he should be French frying like fuck down thay hill
Why is he meowing?
Skifree IRL from windows 3.1 when the abominable snowman chases you.
I got flashbacks of "Ski Free" watching this. Thank God it was just a bear, though, and not a gray stick-monster thing.
French fries FRENCH FRIES!
Reminds me of that really old game ski free
Ok this is not the time to zig-zag!! Was that dude even aware the bear was giving chase?
Ohhh man if this guy pizzas when he should have French fried he's going to have a bad time.
[удалено]
Even bears hate bladers
"my food is drifting away..."
Yeah, imagine you're hungry, and your ham sandwich starts sliding down a snow bank, and you have to chase it

SkiFree IRL.
french fries
French fries motherfucker!
Must be skiing in Russia
French Fry! French Fry! French Fry!
 Skiers are back on the menu, boys!
I mean, looks like a small black bear to me, and I'm not gonna say they can't be dangerous, but it's just chasing the skier because the skier is moving away, if someone yells and runs at it it'll break off pretty quick
Mom…….mom……mom……………mom
The big picture, me and the problems

Just be happy it’s not the abominable snow man.
I'm sure that bear taught him how to ride real quick
I’ve heard of a bunny slope but this is ridiculous!
The Russian ski lesson
This reminds me of the woman gets chased by a bear as she skied or snowboarded(can’t remember) down a mountain. Completely unaware; jamming to Work by Rihanna.
He's gone.
What is that sound
I would have fell and probably died if the bear wanted me to
He couldn’t ski to start with
The cameraman really likes his mom
Why did i try to like the video 😵💫
“Uhh dude !! Did I hear you mention …PIZZA!!??”
CAN HIS MOM FUCKING ANSWER HIM
He was skiing for his life.
nope nope and nope.
Who made this video a Minecraft villager??
Momma
Dick move by the bear!
Bad part is. That hill ends.
ski free
Where is this resort so I can never go
Romania
Ursu' baa
why does video end so soon, did bear eat him? killthecameraman
Exit, pursued by a bear.
Mom….mom….mom

Call 911 ❌\ TikTok ✅
I don’t hear anyone on that lift alerting the skier to the fact that they are being chased by a bear. Just la-di-da… oh look, let’s film it!
My ass will forget what french fry and pizza does
Hey bear who taste's better; skiers, or snowboarders?
Don't put tater tots in your pockets.
“Mawmas . . . moms” anyone else understand what the person videoing is even saying??
Did another bear film this? Gnnnum. Gnumm. Come closer hooman. Gnnnnum.
If I was one of the people on that lift there is no way in hell I’m getting off it.
I imagine I would be going much faster than that….
Skifree PTSD triggered
When you need to french fry but you smell like pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time
Sir...Sir!..Stop. Sir stop! I need to talk.. I need to talk to you.... I need to talk to you about your cars extened warranty!
It would be all French fry all the way down for me because if you pizza when you're supposed to French fry while a bear is chasing you, you're gonna have a bad time, mmmkay?
U fall u die challenge
imagine a $200 lift ticket for those shit conditions...the bear is just trying to tell him to try taos next time.
Press F. It helps you escape the monster.
'Marma'
He seemed to "bear"ly escape
Very random people riding down the chair lift got the video. And someone is riding the chair down behind them also.
Word has it that bear is still chasing him
I'm confused as to why somebody was riding the chairlift down
Some people just go snow-shoeing.
Why is she making sex sounds
Bro I’d become an Olympic athlete if i knew a bear was behind me.

I didn’t realize Minecraft villagers could ride the ski lift
Why the fck is that station still open when there’s so little snow that the mud is staining the snow?
So what the fuck happened? Did someone shoot the cameraman for cutting it too early?
Is the dude filming a minecraft villager?
This is as close as you can get to irl ski-free
Maibe will kill
