Gray Rocks - Canada : SNOW EAGLES 1953

Gray Rocks was a year-round privately owned resort in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Canada, first developed as a ski destination on Sugarloaf Hill. Gray Rocks was established in 1905 by George Wheeler, originally of New Hampshire. His granddaughter, Lucille Wheeler, won the Bronze Medal for alpine skiing at the 1956 Winter Olympics.

The resort first opened in 1906, the hotel closed during the Great Recession of 2009; 70% of the main building was destroyed by a suspicious fire on the evening of 25 November 2014.

At the end of March 2009, Gray Rocks was closed as both a hotel and ski resort. Only the two golf courses, LaBelle and LaBete remain in operation from May to October stayed open. Several owners of the condos previously associated with Gray Rocks have created a vacation home rental operation, Lac Ouimet Rentals, that now operates under the name  Village des Soleils.
