Imagine shredding down a mountain and locking eyes with a bear! That’s what happened to a snowboarder in Japan’s Nagano Prefecture, where bear sightings are on the rise—even at ski resorts. Locals are being told not to eat outside or leave trash around, since bears are getting way too comfy near people. With more bear encounters happening, resorts are stepping up patrols. Would you keep skiing if you saw a bear on the slopes? #News #JapanNews #BearEncounter
