Just recalling this wild video out of Niigata Prefecture in central Japan where a boar attacked a snowboarder on the slopes of Alpen Blick Snow Resort in Myoko City back in 2023. After taking one snowboarder to the ground, the boar switched directions targeted another man who was able to defend himself by swinging his snowboard at it.
NHK reported resort officials and police estimated the animal was 1-meter long. The wild boar left the scene after employees sounded a snowmobile siren. Alpen Blick Snow Resort manager Hazawa Kazuhiko said it was the first time a boar has appeared at the resort and they will increased patrols and took other precautions following the viral attack.
“Wild bore ran into me and broke my snowboard binding….this is what our customer said when we came back into the shop. I said No Way. A for effort, good story. Well believe it or not someone filmed it. This is the proof.” –Joey’s Ski & Snowboard Shop
