[MCR] Bourgeau Left Hand Reminder

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

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!
