BILLINGS, MT
Big Sky Marketing Director Dax Schieffer says the resort tried
to find an environmentally friendly paintball. But it turned out
that the one selected contains a vegetable oil that can attract
grizzly and black bears that commonly roam the region.
A wildlife official says that some bears were even eating
unexploded paintballs.
The resort is on the side of a ski hill, and opened earlier this
summer. It shut down in mid-July after the bear problem arose.
Schieffer says workers are now trying to find a paintball that
won't attract bears.
