Stein was on his last run of the day, heading toward the Crystal Ridge Express chairlift, when he saw the animal.

He stopped, figuring hesa国际传媒檇 give the bear a chance to cross the run undisturbed and maybe get a video clip for his kids.

sa国际传媒淏ut when I started to ski by, I realized it had a really tiny cub with i, so I just tried to stay to one side,sa国际传媒 he said.

sa国际传媒淭he bear kind of took three or four steps towards me and I thought, sa国际传媒業 donsa国际传媒檛 blame it, I would too.sa国际传媒檚a国际传媒

But when Stein stopped downhill of the bear, he realized why it had started to advance.

As a frequent Whistler hiker whosa国际传媒檚 seen plenty of black bears in the area, Stein said he wasnsa国际传媒檛 too too worried sa国际传媒 only a bit concerned he might fall right in front of the hungry mama bear.
