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.
What a start to the season! If you braved the roads yesterday, you would have found Paul out grooming the trails. Another one of our dedicated groomers, he will be out again this morning setting fresh tracks. The roads should be in better shape today, and the skiing will be wonderful. Enjoy!
Big shout-out to Carl, who is out there today once again on the groomer. “The more solid base we have the better the skiing” is what the guru says. We all benefit from his dedicated volunteer hours. Thanks Carl! Enjoy. It's like an old-fashioned winter out there.
The base is growing. Carl is out there today grooming and setting tracks. The skiing should be great later today and tomorrow after the tracks set. Enjoy!
With the cold temps and a firm base, Carl was able to set tracks today. An early season! Please beware of the west facing hill of the Blue trail where it meets the Earl Georgas green trail. It was washed out during last spring's rain storm and will need quite a bit more snow to
Gary is out working on the trail; removing windfall and packing the new snow. There are no tracks yet. Ensuring a good base is important to ensure a great season. The forecast looks cold with snow here and there so there should be skiing soon!
The trail received a nice little dump of snow over the past 2 days. Carl was out today packing, packing, packing in order to establish a good base. There may be tracks set Saturday morning if there is enough depth. Stay tuned! Please note that black powder season continues this week and will end Saturday
