Moose on the Loose Chases Skiers at Colorado Resort

An aggressive bull moose charged after skiers at Colorado’s Breckenridge Ski Resort on Sunday, January 20.

This footage, posted to Instagram by Lauren Drogsvold, shows the moose standing near skiers before charging after them as they take off down a slope.

“On our last run of the day, we came across a large bull moose walking up the run towards us. With nowhere to go and several people in front of us blocking the only exit, I pulled out my phone and began filming. He charged us a few seconds later and chased us over half a mile,” Drogsvold told Storyful.

“Unable to outrun the big boy, I ducked behind a tree and hid until he disappeared from sight.”

She said the important message she learned was to keep a distance, respect wildlife and be aware of your surroundings. “Leave the wild, wild!” Credit: Lauren Drogsvold via Storyful
