Unfortunately Black Snout has been placed off limits for several seasons now, a controversial decision made by the LRCT after they took over the property (and accepted many donations from snowmobilers in the region).
You can still access the top of Mount Shaw which affords beautiful views to the east of the Ossipee Lake region, Maine and north & northeast of the Sandwich Range, Mount Washington and the North Conway area.
On the backside as you exit Shaw you can catch glimpses of Winni on the way down to the Castle, but nothing like the view Black Snout used to offer.
But, Mount Shaw is still definitely worth the trip. I am leading an Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club family trail ride to that very location this upcoming Sunday.
Maybe one day Black Snout will be back on the itinerary!
