Two remarkable families of black bears have made their homes on and around Whistler Mountain, the largest ski resort in Canada. Set against some of the most stunning scenery in British Columbia, we follow a year in the life of two mother bears Jess and Marissa as they find food for their cubs. On family opts for a wild existence but the other one heads into town. How will they fare with the neighbouring bears and skiers? A host of innovative visual techniques are used to follow the bears and for the first time thermal-imagery cameras reveal new born cubs in the den under the snow. Narrated by David Attenborough. |
