Skied up on a Cougar today!

No kidding.  Skied right up on a Puma today.  Maybe a once in a lifetime experience.
At about 9,000'.  Very atypical for a cat this size to be cruising around amidst a 6 foot snowpack.  I'd hypothesize that powder skiing with a mountain lion is directly correlated to the wolf pack we've seen around Cooke City the last couple weeks.
