A ski instructor intent on luring a bear away from skiers began skiing downhill, prompting the bear to charge after him in a full sprint.

Eh...probably wouldn't even be in the top 10 for worst situations encountered by most ski instructors

I'd rather deal with a bear chasing me than have a lesson of 7 4yo's who've never skied before.

That was one persistent bear. Can’t tell if it was being aggressive or just playing with a new buddy.

I recently saw a small kid get on the lift with her instructor and promptly have her ski fall off because the back part of the binding happened to rip right out of the ski. She didn’t seem very overjoyed

That's nuts, and yeah the bear looked like he was playful, but I would not want to find out.
