Summary
A hiker narrowly escaped serious injury after a bear attack near Whistler’s Conflict Lake—where three trekkers encountered two bears, one of which lunged at a woman. She received immediate aid and was airlifted to the hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. Authorities, including conservation officers and Mounties, responded by helicopter, tranquilizing and removing an adult male black bear nearby for safety. The species of the attacking bear remains under investigation, and the area is currently closed to the public as officials assess the situation. A stark reminder: when you’re in the wild, you’re in their territory—stay alert and prepared. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
