We have been venturing off island recently to Poley in Sussex,NB. Still smaller than we're used to but a great place regardless and we can get there and back in a day. Next year we'll probably expand a bit further. The best skiing around here we've been told is Sugarloaf in Maine.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-72060271620197332012013-03-10T13:10:50.847-03:002013-03-10T13:10:50.847-03:00Are there ski hills on PEI??
