Class B First-hand BFRO #11570

Tracks near Sicamous, British Columbia (1974)

December 1974 winter afternoon about 2-3 p.m. Sicamous, British Columbia 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were staying at a closed lakeside resort in winter to ski on the snow-covered beach. Shortly after setting out in the afternoon they found two sets of very large footprints in the snow running along the bay. They followed the tracks and found body-sized impressions where the makers appeared to have lain and moved limbs in the snow, then found a partly eaten fish near a dock. As dusk approached they left the area and saw nothing further that night.
