A group of skiers and snowboarders had a close call with a black bear in Lake Tahoe on Sunday.
The incident happened at the Heavenly Mountain Resort, near the California-Nevada state line.
Skier Tao Feng, who almost ran into the bear, caught the incident on video and posted it to TikTok.
"[I] didn't realize it was a bear until it was too close," Feng wrote in the video's caption.
The bear came charging out of the woods and ran across the slope, narrowly missing skiers and snowboarders as it darted between them.
Apparently, the bear wasn't trying to disrupt the visitors' day in the snow. After running across the slope, it could be seen reuniting with its mother.
According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Golden State is home to between 30,000 and 40,000 bears.
