[MCR] Bourgeau Left Hand Reminder

Just a reminder to all of the ice climbers
out there:

• Parks Canada does NOT do any avalanche control on the slopes above Bourgeau Left Hand.  
• When Parks Canada does avalanche control on Mt. Bourgeau, we are controlling other avalanche paths that affect the Sunshine road and facilities.  
• Parks Canada closes the Bourgeau Left Hand ice climb because of the possibility of a remotely triggered avalanche initiating in the Bourgeau Left Hand bowl while we are bombing the other avalanche paths.

Hope this clarifies some common misunderstandings.
 

Stay safe out there!
