Riders will ride up to the end of the public road, turn around and head back down without entering the Cas Carpark in a protest against CML.

Susan Smith CEO is quoted as:
CMSL has just invested £750,000 in the upgrading of our car park and we are charging from April to October each year.
The actual situation is that CML invested a round figure of zero, the funding of the carpark works has been undertaken by HIE (around £600k) and CNPA (around £150k).
One could reasonably ask when such funding will be offered to the other 2 ski areas in the national park. While elsewhere in the HIE area given the terrible state of the council adopted Glencoe access road, when some public funds will bring this road up to an acceptable standard of repair?
