GORHAM — If you’re looking for a uniquely New England winter story, this one climbs above the rest–literally.
On Sunday, endurance athletes tackled Ski, Shoe & Fatbike to the Clouds, presented by Delta Dental. This is a winter race up the snow-covered Mt. Washington Auto Road widely known as “North America’s Toughest 10K.”
