Skiers and snowboarders at Lake Louise got an unexpected wildlife encounter this weekend when a lynx was spotted calmly roaming the slopes with her two kittens.<\/p>\n
One visitor, @carlymarkss, shared the moment the animal appeared on the hill on their TikTok. While keeping a respectable distance, @carlymarkss captured the lynx stepping out of the trees onto the ski run, followed closely by her two playful kittens, who run to catch up. The video was captioned \u201cLake Louise casually reminding you who owns the mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n
