PINKHAM NOTCH, NH-Defying the odds, gravity and a competitive field, Olympian Justin Freeman returned to the Mt. Washington Auto Road to defend his title in the 17th annual "Ski to the Clouds", presented by Maxiglide, and won for the fifth consecutive time with a time of just 45:01. The top finishing female skier was Meredith Piotrow in 1:04:48. In the snowshoe division, veteran Mount Washington Road Race competitor Dave Dunham was the top male finisher in 1:00:07 and Bridget Ferrin-Smith was the top female, with a time of 1:13:39.                       

The Ski to the Clouds event, presented by Maxiglide, thought by many to be North America's toughest winter 10km race, takes place each winter on the Northeast's highest peak and includes a climb of more than 2200 vertical feet over the final 6km of the course.
