Ski a 9.6 kilometre groomed trail network running through the forested, rolling hills of Grey County between Owen Sound and Meaford. Enjoy the solitude and beauty of a back-country ski with the added bonus of track-set grooming for classic cross country skiing (with two sets of tracks in many areas).
You’ll find a mix of trails from easy to intermediate, and while Massie Hills has its share of hills, including some steep sections, there’s nothing too extreme or too long.
The Owen Sound Cross Country Ski Club maintains the trails on Grey Sauble Conservation property, and our dedicated groomers head out early in the morning at least twice a week – with an additional second weekend groom when Mother Nature has been extra generous.
The varied terrain and mix of cedar, pine and hardwood bush makes the area excellent for snowshoeing treks – enjoyed best when you venture into the virgin snow well off to the side of the tracks. (Please be very mindful of the tracks.)
You’ll find donation boxes for day passes at either trail entrance, but we’d love to have you join us as members – ski all winter and support the maintenance of the trails by our hard-working volunteers.
Beginning in the 2020-2021 season, day-users will be able to pay by cash at either end of the trail or by e-transfer at massie.skiclub@gmail.com
Please help preserve the hard work of our groomers. No snowshoeing, animals, or walking on the track-set ski trails.
As predicted, the flooded creeks and swamps have meant an abrupt end to a wonderful ski season. A huge shout-out to our amazing grooming team, Carl, Gary, Nils and Paul, who went above and beyond to keep the trails in good shape during this very snowy winter. Many hours on the groomer. Thanks guys! Till
Could be the last ski day! There is bound to be much flooding this weekend. It was fabulous yesterday afternoon, and it will be great again today once the temperature reaches 4 degrees or so and the tracks soften up. Get out there and enjoy the sun!
Carl was out on the groomer yesterday afternoon tidying up the trails and setting great tracks as the snow started firming up. (Like spring skiing, it's all about the timing.) It's doubtful the tracks will soften today, but tomorrow afternoon and/or Friday morning might be the time to go out for one last spring ski
The tracks are fast this morning but will soften up as it warms up. The sweet spot should be around mid day, before it gets too slow. Enjoy!
The skiing was remarkably good yesterday, considering the weather we had this week. The trails are in good shape. It should be great spring skiing this weekend. Tracks could be glazed and fast in sunny places, powdery and slow in other areas. Enjoy!
Carl was out grooming yesterday and assessing the trail after the rain. With a little bit of snow last night, we have reopened the trails. It is spring skiing, which means variable conditions. It will be a little rough in the pines, but pretty decent in the hardwoods. Enjoy!
