[MCR] Area Closure, Mt Wilson, Banff National Park, Winter 2015-2016

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Attention Ice Climbers on the Icefields Parkway! 

A section of Mt Wilson is closed following an ice climber being bitten by 
a denning grizzly bear. This area will be closed for the winter to protect 
climbers and the bear. Although this was a very rare and unlucky 
encounter, it serves as a reminder that bears are still active (often 
until late December) and other animals stay active throughout the winter. 
Make lots of noise and keep your eyes open!
