We had lots of snow in Yellowstone two weeks ago. Well, we had snow and then we had Snow. The snow that fell from the sky was light and sporadic and for the most part, didn’t stick, especially in the lower elevations. The Snow we had near the Nine Mile Trailhead was in the form of an 11 year old 350 pound Grizzly sow well known to the park’s bear management team. Unlike the other snow, she stuck around and created quite the bear jam on the road. When she began to move forward toward the people congregating up on the edge of the roadway, a bear manager shouted sharply, “No ma’am! No ma’am!” His loud admonition startled me and it certainly startled Snow who quickly reversed direction and ran back to a more acceptable distance. It was obviously not her first encounter. She soon climbed under some branches of some downed trees and took a nap.
