Last week we shared footage showing a black bear sprinting across a ski lift at Heavenly Mountain Resort and nearly colliding with the skier who captured the footage.
On what appears to have been the same day, last Sunday, a different Heavenly skier captured the accompanying footage showing a momma bear and two cubs passing beneath a chairlift.
Nolan Brown stated via Instagram:
“Been skiing Heavenly my whole life, never seen anything like this. From the family of bears and the fog covered lake to the sun peaking over the mountain on first chair, it solidifies this place as most beautiful.”

Heavenly is in South Lake Tahoe on the California-Nevada border. The Sierra Nevada region boasts a large black bear population, but most of the bruins have denned up for the winter by early December.
