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.
Day users can pay will be able to pay by cash at either end of the trail or by e-transfer at massie.skiclub@gmail.com. For insurance purposes, please pre-register on our Day Use page, or fill out the envelope at the trail entrances. Thank you.
Please help preserve the hard work of our groomers. No snowshoeing, animals, or walking on the track-set ski trails.
The tracks are still in good shape after the last couple of warm days. The windfall has been cleared, although the trails are a bit rough through the conifers. Tracks will be super FAST, especially this morning, so ski with caution. We recommend skiing up the hills unless you are an expert and like going
Due to the warm weather we have temporarily closed the trails. All 4 groomers were out yesterday clearing the trail of windblown debris. The clumps of snow that have been building up all winter on the trees have finally fallen. We will need a return of cold weather to smooth out the lumps and make
The tracks will be fast today. If you venture out, be aware of windfall on the trails.
The trails are being groomed this morning. It should be a stellar ski day as it did not snow for a change, giving the base time to settle a little more. Tracks should be firmer. And with no shovelling to do, we all might have more time and energy to go for a ski! Enjoy.
We've had our daily dose of snow, the sun is peaking out, the snowbanks have been plowed back and Gary is on the groomer. It should be great skiing. Enjoy!
