Well, at least moose are herbivores.  At Lake Louise they put up fences every spring to keep the grizzlies off the ski runs.  They come out of hibernation in late April / early May, and have been known to wander onto the slopes.  They have very poor vision....not the right time to be wearing a tan one-piece..."Yum! Venison. Me hungry."

And believe me, the bears are there.  Gary and I skied at Louise in late April, 2011, and took a back road to the village at the end of the day.  Wandering on the railway track was a huge male grizzly, about 3 times larger than a male black bear.  A massive beast...an incredible sight.
