The
Guardian Spirit
is a carved and painted wooden whale at about mile marker 12 on Bridger
Canyon Road
(on the way to Bridger Bowl Ski Area).
We have been told that it is bad luck to look directly at the whale on
the way up the canyon,
and that one should salute the whale on the way down.
Failure to follow this procedure is
rumored to lead to serious consequences
on the ski slopes.
