[MCR] Clarification on Bourgeau Right and Left

In regards to the previous post stating avalanche control on Bourgeau Right and Left (on Jan 10th). The email intended to say that this area was closed to climbing, and not intended to say avalanche control was being conducted on these paths. They are closed during control runs because of the chance of a sympathetic avalanche.

 

Bourgeau Left is NOT controlled as it does not affect the road or parking lot. Bourgeau Right gets controlled on a very irregular basis, and was not controled today. Sorry if this caused any confusion.
