[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! Parks Canada Visitor Safety Team
