Las Lenas avalanche control

Does anyone know how LL actually does on avy control? Is it a "we bomb but do an ok job so bring your beacon" or are you actually truly on your own, left to do your own due diligence (like in Europe)? Are some parts bombed and other parts not?
While I'm here, is the bus from Mendoza any good?

if you're worried about ultra safe conditions and slope preparation. Las Lenas is not the place for you. Bus from Mendoza is just like all the other buses in ARG, pretty good.

They shoot some mortars at the mountain.
Avy control, reporting, and rescue in Argentina are several levels below North America and Europe.
You basically have to dig a pit regularly and do your own avalanche report - or know someone who does. Even then it's pretty dangerous and you have to be extra careful, especially on windy days where the conditions change quickly.
