Check out Sunday River Ski resort. 30 minutes from Gorham. I’ve had some really awesome new years eves in ski lodges. Sunday river is the biggest resort in your area, and I’m willing to bet they have a party going on. Ski lodge NYE parties tend to be pretty youthful, a lot of the staff will be there and college kids on winter break frequent ski resorts for the holiday. Try and get a room there if there’s any vacancy in town. Driving through small ski towns on a holiday with a few drinks in you is asking for trouble.
