power their way through the snow. In the video it's like the snow isn't even there.

I was house sitting in Lakewood, Colorado and the house backed up to an area called Green Mountain. I was organizing some space in a walk-out basement for the client and caught something out of the corner of my eye and I look over and see this huge moose, about 6 feet away, outside, just standing there looking around. I swear my head came up to its belly. I was scared shitless it was going to bust through the glass doors, so I immediately got out of sight and just peeked around the corner at this moose. I will never forget it.

From a distance in Yellowstone National Park, and amazed how fast they both were. Bison too.
