North Conway (Nov. 20, 2024) — North Conway has reclaimed the title of “Best Ski Town” in USA TODAY’s 10Best 2024 Reachers’ Choice Awards.
North Conway has been a mainstay on USA TODAY’s 10Best Ski Towns list every year since 2016, earning first place in 2016, 2017 and 2020. This year, it secured the coveted top slot against notable ski resorts such as Stowe, Banff, Aspen and Jackson Hole.
As the home mountain of the beloved ski town, Cranmore has played an integral role in trailblazing East Coast ski culture since 1937.
In addition to easily accessible skiing and snowboarding opportunities for all ages and abilities, there is an array of rides at Cranmore’s Mountain Adventure Park, along with New England’s best tubing destination (which earned the number four spot on USA Today’s 10Best for Best Snow Tubing—the only destination in New Hampshire on the list, beating out Vermont’s Mount Snow).
North Conway is also the perfect basecamp for a host of winter recreational activities. Visitors can enjoy scenic hikes throughout the famous White Mountain National Forest, as well as snowmobiling, ice skating, ice climbing, dog sledding and snowshoeing.
The iconic town is also home to local, tax-free shopping, a wide selection of restaurants and breweries. For visitors who want to be right in the heart of ski action, Cranmore also offers onsite lodging at Cranmore Condominiums and the new Fairfield Inn and Suites.
