On September 8th, local snowmobile guide Rudy “Kissy Bear” Noorlander was attacked by a grizzly in Big Sky. It ripped off part of his lower jaw, but he survived. On this episode of Hoary Marmot, we sit down with Rudy as he speaks at length for the first time about his recovery. Rudy’s daughter Ashley joins him as we go in depth on his struggles, supports, and upbeat attitude throughout this harrowing experience.
