GRAY ROCKS IN THE WINTER - "FAMILIES ENJOY A CRUISE ON SNOW"

Set on the shores of Lac Oimet, just outside the quaint town of St. Jovite in the Quebec Laurentians, is a jewel of a resort beyond compare - Gray Rocks.   

Year-round, this all-inclusive resort offers guests an opportunity to experience Quebec hospitality and the "joie de vivre" Gray Rocks has bestowed on families for over 90 years.  

Known by most returning guests as a "Cruise Ship on Land", Gray Rocks' winter Ski Week packages add top-notch ski programs for every age and ability to the mix of great food, luxurious accommodations, activities, social programs, friends and fun.

Ski Week Package at Gray Rocks

The popular 6 night, 7 day, "Adventure Cruise on Snow" includes a full social calendar of activities for adults and children including live entertainment.  Kids 5 and under stay and eat free, 6 to 10 year olds are 50% off and 11-17 year olds are 40% the double occupancy rate, which starts at $1,260 for the 7 day package. 

Dining at Gray Rocks 

Join family and friends in the dining room for any one of the 18 meals included with the package starting on Sunday arrival with lunch to breakfast on the Saturday departure.   A fabulous Thursday Seafood buffet is the highlight of the culinary treats offered over the week and includes a delicious dessert bar.   Other nights features french cuisine with a choice of the main entree with soup, salad bar and scrumptious dessert.

Guests may also choose to enjoy a generous lunch at the Day Lodge.  Dining room servers are happy to provide the lunch ticket for the day on the slopes.

Skiing at Gray Rocks

If you have come to Gray Rocks for the skiing, be prepared to have the time of your life.

Skiing or Snowboarding at Gray Rocks is just across the road on Sugar Hill with 22 runs of varying terrain.

Ski week includes:

  • 20 hours of ski instruction with the Snow Eagle School and video analysis or 10 hours of snowboard lessons.

  • Unlimited use of ski lifts for 7 days - lift tickets are also good for Mont Blanc - go to Jungle Magique - A Unique Playground adds to Mont Blanc Ski Resort as a Great Place for Kids to learn more about this ski resort.

Once you join your group for the week, the fun begins.  Ski groups meet at the Snow Eagle School circle mornings and afternoons for two hours of lessons.  The friendly ski instructors encourage learning and fun throughout the day.

There is a full line of clothing and equipment available at the Boutique located beside the ski storage room.  A rental shop for guests requiring rentals or interested in trying something new - like snow blades or snow boards.

Supervised Programs for Children at Gray Rocks

At Gray Rocks children are treated to their very own programs specially created to give them a great time too!!

For children ages 3 years to 5, the Snow Eagle Ski & Snowboard School offers its award winning programs. 

Lessons take advantage of the secure new beginner zone, magic carpet and dedicated children's area on a gentle angle and run-out slope.

The Ski n' Play program for 3-5 year olds comes complete with equipment for a 1 hour ski lesson and supervision for the day.

Snow Eaglets for ages 4-5 gives little skiers a little more snow experience in a mini-class environment.

The on-slope daycare centre located in the Chalet Lucille Wheeler has toys inside and a fenced play area outside.   It is not unusual to see the kids outside playing in the snow as part of their hillside fun.

The Ski programs and daycare operate Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 4:30 and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 3:45 pm.  On Mondays a "Poptail" Party at the  Kids Club runs from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm and    Friday offers a special treat with a Ski Class Supper and supervised activities from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

Daycare for children 6 months to 2 years and 3-5 that are non-skiers lets parents enjoy their day on the slopes knowing that their youngsters are well cared for in the Kids Club.

Babysitting can also be arranged through the daycare centre but need to be booked 48 hours in advance with a minimum of three hours.  Multiple families can reserve a sitter for a reduced rate as well.

Evening Social Programs

There is plenty to do every evening of the week as part of the social program for families to enjoy together.  Family activities may include:

  • Family Bingo

  • Family Film

  • Kids Activities at the Kids Club

  • Family Snow tubing
