Greetings!

This has certainly been a different kind of year, but at least we can still look forward to cross country skiing at Massie Hills this winter.

The Zone4 on-line registration site is now open for OSCCSC registration. The fee structure remains the same as last year, with no increase in membership fees.  You can register at www.massiehills.com  by following the link on the Join the OSCCSC tab found on the home page.

$19 of your on-line registration goes straight to Cross Country Canada for insurance for each club member. You only have to pay the $19 once if you register online for two different Cross Country Canada ski clubs.

You can also register with the OSCCSC by cheque using the attached 2020-2021 Registration form. The Informed Consent and Assumption of Risk agreement does not need to be submitted, you are acknowledging that you have read and understand it when you register by paper or through Zone4. I have included the latest version here and on the website as they have now included a line on infectious diseases. Go figure.

We have four Ski Club Exchanges arranged for the 2020-2021 season. During the exchanges you can ski for free on the other clubs trails.

Sauble Beach Ski Club                                    January 16 to January 23

Bruce Ski Club                                                  January 24 to January 30

Glenelg Ski Club                               January 31 to February 6

Beaver Valley Ski Club                                   February 7 to February 13

Please practice social distancing with those outside your bubble while out on the trails.

We encourage you to ski safely and make note of the Fire Numbers at the front and back entrances in the event you need to call for assistance for yourself or someone else.

Main (east) entrance: Fire # 497250,         6th Concession Road South, Meaford

Back (north) entrance: Fire # 083634,        Sideroad 6, Meaford

We look forward to seeing you out on the trails.

Thanks,

Chris Hughes

Grey Sauble Conservation has asked me to inform the ski club membership that the Massie Hills trail area will be closed to the public from August 10, 2020 until November for forest harvesting operations. We will provide an update as the ski season approaches.

Enjoy the remainder of the summer.

Thanks,

Chris

The ski season has officially ended at the Massie Hills Trails. I would like to thank our trail groomers Gary, Carl and David for keeping the trails in such great shape for us this year. Also our membership coordinator Kelly and our Treasurer Brent, without whom the club would not function. I would also like to thank all of you, who join the club each year so that we can all enjoy the beautiful Massie Hills Trails.

See you next winter. All the best.

Chris

Greetings:

The Massie Hills trails were groomed this morning and are in spring-skiing condition. Tracks are fairly shallow and it is icy in spots but there is still a decent base and all trails are open.

Thanks,

Chris

Despite the warm weather we still have a pretty good base at the Massie Hills trails. There are some flooded areas and Spring skiing conditions are the rule of the day.

Thanks,

Chris
