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.
Carl is out grooming this morning, getting the trails in good shape before the thaw. Skiing will be good and there will be more glide with the warm temperatures. Get out before the rain! A reminder of our grooming schedule: The trail is groomed Saturday and Sunday and once mid-week, or more if there is
Gary is out grooming again this morning. Skiing will be excellent. Don't forget that membership includes free ski exchanges at other local trails. Today is the last day of the Sauble Ski Club exchange, next week you can ski at the Bruce Ski Club's Sawmill and Colpoys trails for free. Get out there to enjoy
From famine to feast. Carl is out grooming this morning, yet again. It will be another great day of skiing. A reminder that all our groomers: Carl, Gary, Nils and Paul, are volunteers and they have spent many hours in the cold and wind getting the trails in shape for us this week. Be sure
Different groomer, same great trails. Nils has packed and track-set the fresh snow and the trails are in excellent shape. This is the time to be out there, with lots of fresh powder snow. It's like skiing on clouds. Enjoy!
Just in time for our first moonlight ski, Mother Nature has given us a nice dump of snow and the trails are in great shape. Come to the back (east) entrance Saturday evening between 7 and 8:30. Lights will guide you to a warming fire at the junction of the top loops, about 100 metres
Carl has been out packing the new snow and putting in fresh tracks. He will be finished by 1pm. In the woods, out of the wind, it will be beautiful.
