The speed, size, and power of a trapped moose

Eleven years ago in in Gaspesia, Quebec, Canada, a moose found itself in three feet of snow in a cul-de-sac near a group of skiers.

Above, what transpired.

The skiers were fortunate the moose didn't charge at them because if it had this video wouldn't exist.

If they had had any sense they'd have quietly left the area before the moose felt threatened enough to make a move.
