Gray Rocks ski area, Quebec
|
| | I need some help: Around 1960 My wife and I visited mt. Tremblont to ski. We stayed in a little Auberg I St. Jovite and had planned to ski at the nearest ski area, but the snow was bad and we decided to ski the north face, when we drove up there, I was confused because in looked like a resort rather than just a ski area. We saw a sign saying ''Grar rocks. We parked and skied a trail named ''sissy schuse'' using a single chair lift and having warm-up breaks in a log hut, that looked like a lumber camp mess hall. Further |
|
we have a friend who says that she and her husband went there for their honeymoon and stayed in a ''cabin''. Here is my question: Is there anything in what I have described above that matches the facts as they were around 1960. When we skied there, I thought
| that we were just skiing ''the North Face (rather than some other ski facility on the same mountain) , but now I think it may have been a gray Rocks ski area. says an anonymous skier.
There's 100 acres of skiing land, and it's all blanketed by snow. The annual snowfall is around average at this ski area. Gray Rocks is a mid-size ski area boasting an elevation difference that's in the order of average when compared to other Eastern Canada ski areas. The 620 foot altitude difference is naturally not that much to | |
|
|
brag about, but Gray Rocks compensates for it with other things. When this segment of Quebec is covered in good snow; it is the most marvelous time of the year for snowboarding or skiing. This ski hill has an average share of difficult ski trails and an average
fraction of green and blue trails. Gray Rocks has a fairly humble array of trails and an ok selection of different ski lifts. This ski hill has 22 ski runs, and they are beautiful. This ski mountain obtains so much snow, 14 feet every season, and that is one of
the reasons this is such a glorious ski mountain. There are 5 ski lifts here, and they are perfectly taken care of and operated by friendly folks. Getting your skiing muscles activated and just hanging out with your skiing pals will have you returning. The snowboarding
and the skiing in Quebec is a great thing to do the whole winter season. Some folks prefer skiing and some snowboarding, either way, this is a vicinity with heaps of locations for that.
