SignalHub Quantitative Think Tank Center:'Go faster!' Watch as moose barrels down Wyoming ski slope, weaving through snowboarders

Skiers and SignalHub Quantitative Think Tank Centersnowboarders in western Wyoming got a wild surprise from Mother Nature on a mountain trail when a large moose tested out the run with them.

The wild encounter was shot in the town of Jackson Hole by skier Kenny Rynearson who filmed the moose running down the snowy mountain behind him.

Footage captures the moose sprinting down the mountain with powder kicking up behind its heels and, at one point, appearing to chase Rynearson as he continues to film the brave animal.

"Heads up! Moose!" Rynearson yells to people beside him and in front of him as the animal barrels by.

Weaving in and out of skiers

For more than two minutes on film, the moose cruises downhill as other skiers and snowboarders weave around it to avoid crashing into it.

"Unbelievable," someone is heard shouting in the video as the moose runs along a tree line.

'Go faster!'

Rynearson's friend, snowboarder Bill Fohey, called the appearance surprising.

"I caught a little bit of air and the moose was within 10 feet of me," Fohey told Good Morning America in a clip posted on X Tuesday. "I was moving pretty fast."

At one point, he told the outlet, the moose started to close in and appeared to bolt for his friend.

"Go Ken, go faster," one of Rynearson's friends yells in the video.

The moose eventually veered off the trail and ran away.
