Bears in the Snowmass area are starting to grow more active with the warmer spring weather, Snowmass police officials confirmed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to Brian Olson, Snowmass police chief, officers know of at least two bears that are out and about in the village area and have been for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, one of the bears paid resident Ellen Turner and her husband a visit, wandering into their kitchen and snagging a loaf of bread from their pantry.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe passed up two plates of huevos rancheros with applewood smoked bacon for Dave\u2019s Killer Superseed Bread in the pantry. What\u2019s wrong with my huevos?\u201d Turner said via email.<\/p>\n
