Feng told KLTA5 that he was skiing down the trail at around 11 a.m. on Sunday when he encountered the bear as it sprinted out the woods and across the slope between skiers and snowboarders.

The skier told the media outlet that he didn't realize it was a bear till it was "too close.”

Feng told ABC10 that he felt very lucky that he didn't collide with the bear and that he felt better after seeing the bear reunite with his mother off the trail.

Bear sightings are common

A spokesperson of Heavenly Mountain Resort Cole Zimmerman told USA TODAY that wildlife sightings are common in the area since the resort operates on national forest lands. However, he said that the resort has proper safety protocols in place to ensure safety of both the animals and guests.

"We deeply respect the diverse species that inhabit the area within and surrounding the resort," said Heavenly Mountain Resort in a statement. "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."

Zimmerman said that animals usually move on fairly quickly once spotted.

"Tahoe’s bears are pretty nonchalant towards humans and no parties were injured – including the bear," Zimmerman said. "You know you’re at Heavenly when even the bears are taking in those views down Ridge Run!”
