Loving this snow!
The groomers may not be loving it, but they were out there again this morning without complaint. With the warming temperatures, the skiing is wonderful. Enjoy!
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.

Nils is out grooming this morning, and Carl and Gary have been clipping branches that have been weighed down by the snow. They have been putting in a lot of work the last couple of days in frosty conditions. Thanks guys!! Please be aware of low hanging branches. Enjoy!
Carl reports a winter wonderland and that the tracks are going in nicely. The biggest problem will be deciding where to ski this week…our own beautiful Massie Hills, or one of the two trail systems that the Bruce Ski Club maintains: Sawmill at Hepworth (classic and skate trails) or Colpoys Bay (classic only).

Wow, talk about an old fashioned winter. After an aborted attempt to get to the trails this morning, Gary has just finished the big job of packing down all that snow. Carl will be out tomorrow morning to set tracks. It should be fabulous skiing for a while! Enjoy.
Paul is out grooming this morning and the trails should be in great shape. Enjoy!
The trails were groomed yesterday so they will be in great shape. No grooming today due to the warmer temperatures. Enjoy!
