Cool story, bro
Yes. Yes it does.
Why?
Nothing wrong with older women, quite the opposite!
Cougars are really relentless and difficult to fight off - though usually they pounce in bars rather than ski resorts.
Cougars up on Beaver Mountain. Whodda thunk?
“Pounced”
A Republican cat. Take that, Romney!
“Man”.
CORRECT!
The fight would have ended quicker if he used BOTH hands but you can’t let go of your Dr. Pepper hand.
The guy is full of shit.
I worked big cat rescue for many years, cougar claw marks do not look like that. They leave ragged and undefined edges.
Those cuts look like razor blade cuts.
I call bullshit. (I have posted this same comment on the NY Post and Fox.)
Old cougars bruise easy.
A mountain lion watching my ski technique, would not be able to stop laughing.
- my defense
That’s exactly how I identify animal tracks in the wild - look to see what sort of animal is standing in them.
I was attacked by a wild cougar once. It was in a locals casino here in Vegas. It had blue hair and looked starved. The casino didn’t offer any help though.
An impending attack by a large dog caused me to ready my large pipe wrench as a weapon. While not a mountain lion, a ferocious dog can do damage.
My mind became completely focused, time seemed to stand still, I knew I would only get one shot at this, so I readied myself for the perfect swing that would KILL the dog (and I am a dog lover), not scare him away.
At the last second, the dog owner saw what was about to happen and called/whistled (I can’t remember which) and the dog stopped dead in his tracks and ran home.
Again, not a mountain lion, but I can understand EXACTLY the mental process he went through.
Sort of like that guy protecting his dog by punching the kangaroo. It didn’t see THAT coming.
Was it an Assault Snowboard?
Quick reaction times saved this guy’s life. He’s tough and probably a good athlete.
Mountain lion attack bookmark.
You usually don’t see cougars at ski resorts, they tend to hang around bars.
Beaver Mtn is a semi-rustic day resort much smaller than the Salt Lake area giants. Colder than Hillary’s eyes.
The boarder was out of bounds, and the cat was probably hungry.
