Closing day at Keystone Resort appeared to coincide with the end of the winter denning season for bears — as a black bear charged across a ski run Sunday, April 6.
Brian O’Neal, a Greenwood Village resident, had a close encounter with that bear Sunday. O’Neal said he was skiing with his son. It was their first run of the day. They were cutting from the Peru Express chairlift over to the Summit Express chairlift on Last Chance, a green beginner run.
“It happened so quick,” O’Neal said. “I was just trying not to run into it.”
O’Neil is the skier in the blue jacket in the video, who came face-to-face with the bear, turning out of its way on the ski run. He said a bystander captured the video and sent it to him.
