Snowboarder encounters 'Bigfoot' in Colorado Rockies

[UM-Bot]

A British man who had been snowboarding in the Rockies observed a mysterious bipedal creature.

At least the witness admits any suggestion of size is pure guessing, he also described it like a person in a heavy winter coat, 

Ill go with he saw a human if he saw anything

A hunter? A natural park guard?

Maybe someone else was snowboarding at the same place and decided to go home because it was getting crowded?  Bigfoot is smart enough to go south for the winter.

Never told his mate what he had seen as he would never have let me live it down?  Doesn't exactly add credibility to the story.  I would have said something.  Maybe not that I think I saw bigfoot but perhaps that I had seen a big bear walking on two legs.

15 years ago, and he decides to now make it an issue??? 

I mean, I like my bigfoot stories but this one kinda sucks. did he ever go back the next day to take photos...? Doh! got phony written all over it.

Actually I believe that photo is not from the alleged incident but just a stock photo.

Hey papa, have you considered adding a percent error calculation to each of your categories?

What a waste of time no photo or nothing just a story from a decade ago.

So you are basing your pap reading on a fifteen-year-old anecdote with absolutely no corroborating evidence?  About something that, "at nightfall ... looked like a big man wearing a large over coat with the collar turned up".  And with these useful additional details: "At the time I didn't hear or smell anything. This thing was big, though, but it would be hard to gauge its exact dimensions from the distance between us." 

On the strength of someone claiming they saw something at a distance, in dimming light, in unfamiliar surroundings... you seriously think there's a 60% chance it's proof of Bigfoot?  I admire your willingness to believe people and accept their word as gospel.  By the way - that five grand I lent you last year?  I'll need it back soon, and the car you promised me.

Just imagine some since retired forest worker reads this threads "story" and recalls the time years back he was creeped out by some weird snow boarder stalking him.

Well I suspect your more likely to see Bigfoot in that club than out somewhere in the wild!

"Ah gotta admit - damn well freaked me out!  Ah forgot ah were carryin' eight firearms for mah protecshion an' ah just turn an' run!  Luck'ly the snow were froze soild thar, so ah didn't sink three feet in, cos if ah had ah reckin the beast would 'av caught me an' et me all up.

"An' when ah got to the trees ah had this creepy feelin' ah were NOT bein' watched, so ah turned around an' guess wot? the darn critter gone an' vanished inta thin air!  Not a trace of 'im!  Got 'ome an' tol' mah boyfriend an' 'e sed "Daisy, don' ever tell no-one 'bout it cos no-one will b'leeve yer" so ah never did."

Here is a video that I found on YouTube you may enjoy, I have not done any research to see of this ever occurred so at this time I don’t believe it’s true!

So please don’t consider I posted this for any other reason than entertainment!

Yes, that Papameter Reading was based solely on that one article and my general opinion on the Bigfoot subject and human reliability. I double-checked and the meter is reading true.

The fact that we are reading up on this event today actually ticked up the Bigfoot chance. People know normal from non-normal (while of course not being perfect rendering a 60% rating). I come at this case with a near 100% likelihood in the possibility of Bigfoot's existence so to me the 60% is not such a stretch as it would be on say a Tommy-Meter or a Batsometer. You just don't see people running fast through three-feet of snow.

Hi Papa

At what point do you think a 6' anything could RUN through 3' of snow?

Edited to add

Here is a video of a moose on deep snow and it has 4 legs.

after hearing multiple reports over the years such as:

"The 'individual' suddenly took a 45-degree turn to the right and walked into the snow field towards the trees," he wrote. "'It' didn't slow down, despite walking through 3 feet of snow."

"Something which would have almost stopped me dead in my tracks."

 

I probably should have said 'continued walking' instead of 'running' (although I've heard fantastic running through snow stories too).

And where did your '6' come from?

Hi Papa

6' seems to be the minimum height of reported bigfoot sightings blurry as they are.
