A video shared with sister station KCRA shows the moment a bear ran across a ski run in front of dozens of people. The video, shared by a skier named Tao, was taken on Ridge Run at Heavenly Resort in South Lake Tahoe and shows a black bear sprinting across the run. In his post on TikTok, Tao wrote that he didn’t realize it was a bear until it ran right in front of him. Heavenly spokesperson Cole Zimmerman said in a statement that interactions between bears and humans "are infrequent as these animals usually move along quickly."Here is the resort's full statement: "As a resort that operates on National Forest lands, wildlife sightings are not uncommon. We deeply respect the diverse species that inhabit the area within and surrounding the resort. In situations where these animals are noticed, we have specific protocols to prioritize the safety of our guests and the well-being of these animals. This includes maintaining distance and promptly alerting our ski patrol, mountain safety, and security teams when needed. Thankfully, interactions between our guests and bears are infrequent as these animals usually move along quickly. In this case, it appears this bear was just looking to find some fresh tracks out on the mountain like the rest of us. You know you’re at Heavenly when even the bears are taking in those views down Ridge Run!”
