Fees for access and parking may be charged in the future ... The eight commercial tour operators who take visitors to the peak will have to reapply for their permits ... rangers are now only allowed to advise -- rather than instruct -- drivers of two-wheel-drive vehicles not to travel the steep summit road
four-wheel drive vehicles would be required for trips to the summit, vehicles would have to be cleared of invasive species, groups larger than 10 people would require a permit, and snow play would have to be done with safe equipment made for the purpose rather than with improvised sleds that lack steering and brakes. Access to the summit could be limited to daylight hours.
