Living in Alaska means you have to be extremely close with nature, but sometimes nature gets a little too close. Like when it charges you while you're waiting for the ski lift.

Alyeska Resort in near Anchorage has been having a rough time with a young bull moose that wandered onto the slopes recently. According to KTUU, the moose showed up multiple days last week, and even charged a group of skiers and employees, which included children, as seen in the clip above.

Sadly, after multiple days of hoping the animal would leave, the moose was euthanized, and its meat was donated to charity.
