[MCR] Rockies: Field back road closed, Thursday, January 21, 2016

Due to concerns about natural avalanches hitting the Field back road off Mt
Dennis with the forecasted precipitation and increased winds on Friday,
Parks Canada has closed this road to vehicle traffic until further notice.

Avalanche control is *not* currently planned for Friday, because of the
forecasted poor weather, so the ice climbs around Mt Dennis are not
currently closed.

We expect to do avalanche control on Mt Dennis on Saturday and will send
out updates on avalanche closures at that point.

The avalanche control signs in the area will also be flipped to say
"Avalanche Control in Progress - No access" once we confirm when avalanche
control will occur. See the attached photo for an example of these signs.
