Gray Rocks

History

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.

In 1948, Réal Charette, a former World War II winter warfare instructor, became the first Canadian to be appointed a director of a ski school in Canada, the renowned Snow Eagle Ski School at Gray Rocks.

At the end of March 2009, Gray Rocks was closed as both a hotel and ski resort. Only the two golf courses, La Belle and La Bête remain in operation from May to October. 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.
