In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of North America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City Mountain. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.
The Colony at White Pine Canyon is a layered and complex project, one upon which our sales team members have dedicated themselves to becoming experts.
The Colony Sales Team is passionate about the land of The Colony at White Pine Canyon, its careful and strategic development, and the sales process for those who choose to build their legacy here.
