An unusual visitor was spotted casually strolling through the Big White Ski Resort—and it wasn’t wearing appropriate ski wear.

Lynx at Big White Ski Resort

We had a very special guest visit us at Black Forest yesterday. Thanks to James Ngo for capturing this on camera! #bigwhite

James Ngo captured this video of a lynx on a ski hill in Kelowna, British Columbia. It’s unusual to see the big cat in such a populated area, as lynx tend to stay away from public spaces and prefer deep forests.

While it may seem cool to cruise down a hill alongside this beautiful animal, it’s important to keep your distance. Remember, it may not seem as intimidating as a cougar, but lynx are not to be messed with.
