North Conway, NH –Now through November 26th USA Today/10 Best is running its annual readers polls for the Best Ski Town Award and the Best XC Ski Resort Award. North Conway has been nominated for the Best Ski Town Award list and Jackson Ski Touring Foundation has been named to the Best Cross Country Ski Resort Award list.

The top ten vote-getters after the voting closes on November 26th will be named to the lists, and the results will be announced on Friday, December 7th.

Nominations to the list come from USA Today’s local experts, consisting of expert skiers/snowboarders and/or travel and winter sports writers.

Jackson Ski Touring also made it to the top ten list for the past two years. With help from those who love skiing and après ski in Mt Washington Valley, both North Conway and Jackson Ski Touring Foundation will take honors in this esteemed list once again.

“Making it on to these top ten lists really helps to position Mt Washington Valley as a premier ski destination,” said Janice Crawford, Executive Director of the Mt Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce. “North Conway and Jackson Ski Touring are among only a handful of places in New England named to these 10Best reader polls. We encourage everyone to vote daily to help us maintain the place on these lists, then tell customers about the award so they select Mt Washington Valley as their skiing destination of choice this winter,” finished Janice.
