Let's pay a virtual visit to the 64 New England ski resorts that are vying for your vote in our King of the Hills bracket.

In case you've been hibernating as of late, King of the Hills is our first bracket of 2023. Since it's winter time, we figured it's the perfect time to celebrate all of the fine skiing and snowboarding experiences we have available to us with just a short drive. Think about it: no matter where you live in New England, you're only a couple of hours away from winter fun. It makes getting outside worthwhile!

So what's in our latest bracket? 64 New England ski resorts and mountains. Only one will wear the crown. All six New England states have mountains in the mix. Even Rhode Island! We're asking you to slalom through and vote for your favorites. As it is with brackets of this nature, we'll have six full rounds. And we'll aim to have it all wrapped up in early March, just in time for some spring skiing.

Now, if you're like me, you've likely visited a bunch of the mountains on our list. And you likely have your favorite or favorites. I do, too. But I'm not going to tell you which ones here. I want to keep things neutral. Listen to me weekdays from 11a-4p and I'll tell you which mountains and ski areas get my vote.

And if you're not steeped in the history and lore of New England mountains and resorts? Well, scroll away. You'll get to meet all 64 participants in our Kings of the Hills bracket, and then you'll get to vote. Because an informed voter is the best voter, right? Good luck to all the participants and a reminder: you can go straight to the bracket here.
