“POV: You’re already having the best birthday trip ever . . . and then this happens,” wrote Nicholson in his Instagram post sharing footage of the lynx. “We were snowboarding at Lake Louise, when we suddenly spotted wild Canadian lynx right on the slopes. Just casually strolling through like they owned the place. I already thought this trip couldn’t get any better . . . and then we saw this.”
