Lasted quite a while before they disappeared out of sight...
YouTube has a similar chase with a grey squirrel. I found myself cheering for the squirrel ; unfortunately, the squirrel lost the chase!

The Marten would be a good match. It's a weasel listed with NH F&G at their web page; however, it would appear to be out of both its geographic- and elevation- range.

Still, I wouldn't rule it out.

Not sure why the Marten picture won't appear...
