There is a legal notice in tthe Berlin paper that the Cog is proposing to expand winter operations to include Snowcat Tours and Snowcat skiing. The hearing is Dec 15th in Lancaster NH.
Several years ago, the planning bord reminded the cog that expansion of activities on the Cog property required prior approval. The cog received permission earlier this year to upgrade their warming huts where they are currently ending their winter operations. To date the board has supported expansion of use. I am unsure if the warming huts are high enough to be in the special high elevation zoning district. The Cog hotel and the large expansion of the Cog summit facilities have never formally come before the planning board.
The cog had attempted snowcat supported skiing 25 years ago but it only lasted a couple of years. My guess is as long as they do not actively advertise access to Tucks there will not b lot of objections.
