The wait is OVER and opening day is (just about) here! Both Park City Mountain Resort villages (Park City Mountain and Canyons) will open for winter 2018 | 2019 operations at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, November 21. But don’t wait till 9 a.m. to head over, there are a few things popping beforehand at each village – take a look at the celebrations, plus, get a glimpse of what’s new and improved this year…

NEW THIS YEAR
High Meadow Park: Brand-New Dedicated Ski & Snowboard Learning Area
Park City Mountain has always been the place to go to enjoy a comfortable learning environment for beginners of any age.

That remains the same, but this year, there is going to be a whole new area in which to learn and where beginners, kids, and families will experience a whole new level of comfort.

The brand-new High Meadow Park is an entire dedicated area for learning, with gentle terrain and new snowmaking, which will create terrific surfaces for new skiers and snowboarders. The brand-new Candy Cabin offers a place to take a rest and grab a snack, and getting there easy, too – there’s a new, detachable high-speed four-passenger lift.

Mid-Mountain Lodge: A New Take On The Classic
This classic spot, the Mid-Mountain Lodge, is beloved by just about everyone who has ever clomped in its door.

The building is more than 120 years old and originally functioned as a miners’ boarding house. The renovation pays tribute to our community’s rich mining heritage and offers a cozy spot to warm up and fill up.

Additional indoor seating is welcome news to those among us who have waited, snow dripping off our boots, to enjoy the food and a beverage. There’s also an upgraded dining area, newly “crafted chef-driven menus,” and a full-service bar.

Cloud Dine: Now With More Seating To Take In The Views

More than 200 seats have been added to this modern bistro, which sits right on top of a Wasatch Range ridgeline, so guests here get to sit back and take in the unbelievable views. This restaurant is known for “foodie-

approved” cuisine and its spectacular presentation, and now, there’s even more room to enjoy all of it.

Expanded Snowmaking & Grooming
Most of the mountain will be open to exploration even earlier thanks to new snowmaking capabilities on Red Pine Road, a major connector trail off of Tombstone Express. More snow means the trail will open earlier in the season and provide access to even more terrain across the mountain.

AT THE COLONY

More than 50% of the Park City Mountain’s Canyons Village terrain can be found within the boundaries here at The Colony. Even better, the high-speed Quicksilver Gondola, which zips riders from one side of the enormous resort to the other in mere moments, is also inside The Colony. The Gondola is directly accessible for Colony homeowners in possession of a lift ticket – which means that the entirety of the Park City Mountain land is right outside the door – and at their ski tips.

This unmatched access means skiers and snowboarders enjoy everything from first tracks on a powder day to perfect corduroy groomers (more than 120 trails are groomed each night) throughout the season. Also easily accessible for owners – The Colony’s own private seasonal Yurt, where lunch is served, owners and friends can warm up during the day, and aprés and dinner events can be enjoyed.

For more information on the unique ski-in/ski-out access here at The Colony, please be sure to reach out to our Sales Team!

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in / ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

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 is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and 5 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Oktoberfest
Snowbird

Time is quickly draining for you to attend the annual Oktoberfest at Snowbird! The brew-fest is a family-friendly affair with fun, food, and, of course, practically bottomless brews. If you haven’t gone yet – or you want to hit it up again – Saturday and Sunday will be your last chances.

The annual festival includes a biergarten with more than 50 (yes, FIFTY) varieties of beer. The selections range from German-style brews to locally-crafted suds from Utah breweries (including Moab Brewery, Bohemian, Uinta, and Squatters), and you can save a few bucks on the beers by re-using one of your previously-purchased, 1-liter Snowbird Oktoberfest beer stein or mug (you know you have one. Or ten.).
Not into beer? No problem. A wine garden awaits and you can revisit your college drinking days in the Jagermeister tent.

(Safety note: PLEASE don’t drink and drive. There’s an Oktoberfest lodging special to make it easier for you to be safe and stay the night.)

Of course, with all those drinks, you’re gonna need some food. Grab a brat, or some weisswurst, sauerkraut, apple strudel, spaetzle, beef rouladen, pretzels, and Bavarian roasted almonds. Beer and food are purchased a la carte. The brewskis flow from noon until 6:30 p.m., but get there this weekend because the keg is kicked till next year on Sunday!

The Art and Science of Arachnids
Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter
Wednesdays – Sundays: 10 AM – 4 PM

This exhibit is seriously catching people in its net – and it just so happens to be the largest arachnid exhibit in the United States.

The exhibit guides visitors to explore connections between arachnids and literature, art, folklore, paleontology, science, and history. You’ll see 100 live arachnids (!) and experience hands-on activities – hopefully, the live arachnids are not the hands-on activities, but you’ll have to go see it in order to find out. INSIDER TIP: They feed the spiders on Thursdays – so that is a great time to go see some action.

This exhibit is available to read and listen to in both Spanish and English, and is free for members; for pricing and other info, click here.

Body and Soul
Kimball Art Center
Through November 4

Never in history have we (ok, some of us) been more inundated with images – at least from a social media perspective. Landscapes, pictures of home design and architecture, candids (does such a thing even exist anymore?) but especially the new self-portrait – those supernumerary selfies – are shared and consumed relentlessly across social channels.

Kimball Art Center’s new exhibit, Body and Soul, features 24 Utah-based artists and explores the lasting power of what you could call the “legit-art selfie” genre across contemporary painting, photography, text-based installations, and more. From the Kimball Art Center website:

“Established tropes are both embraced and reinvented, presenting diverse approaches to portraiture as a means of commemoration, reflection, and social critique. From faithful likeness to fantasy and fracture, the power of portraits is that they are about more than what we look like; they reveal who we are.” Admission is free; the exhibit will run through November 4.
~

Backroads Americana by Tom Kelly
11 AM – 6 PM @ Artique Gallery

Park City’s own renowned landscape photographer Tom Kelly is back with a new gallery show! This one takes a look at rural scenes discovered on back road highways. From the wide-open deserts and plains of the west to the cornfields of America’s heartland, his images show the countryside we usually miss in our travels. You’ll find the Artique Gallery at 283 N. Main St, Kamas. Tom’s exhibit runs through October 31, 2018.
~

Park City Film Series: “Juliet, Naked”
6 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium
Park City Library

From the Park City Film Series:
“Annie (Rose Byrne) is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O’Dowd) – an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When the acoustic demo of Tucker’s hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself. Based on the novel by Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked is a comic account of life’s second chances.”

DURING THE WEEK

Monday, October 22
Little Naturalist
10 – 11 AM @ Swaner EcoCenter

Little Naturalist is a program where 3- to 5-year-olds get to learn about animals, their habitats, the environment, and nature. Twice a month, October through May, your little ones will read a nature-themed book, explore the natural world, and complete a craft.

Kiddos will also get to paint their very own pumpkin; other activities in this series can include snowshoeing on the Preserve, playing with live reptiles and amphibians, and upcycling old materials into holiday decorations (sign us up for an adult version of this class, please!).

New Homesites Released in The Colony at White Pine Canyon

September 28, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

The Colony Releases Eight Homesites in Meadow Lakes | Phase 5: E & F

It’s the next step in our final chapter: The Colony at White Pine Canyon has just released eight spectacular homesites in the Meadow Lakes – also known as Phase 5.

The E & F homesites are some of the most unique properties we have ever offered — no small statement here at The Colony, where it truly feels like you get to live in your very own national park.

If you don’t know us already, The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest ski-in, ski-out private development in the United States. We are a private, 4600-acre, gated community in the heart of Park City Mountain, one of North America’s largest ski resorts.

Each home here has the incredible amenity of ski-in, ski-out access, and in warmer weather, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and more are right outside your door.

Speaking of access, which is a key word, when you build your legacy here in The Colony, not only do you have immediate access to world-class skiing, you also have easy access to airports and direct access to Park City’s own unique style of living.

The homesites are easily accessible from our secure gated entry, and The Colony itself is:

35 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport
22 miles from Heber Valley Airport
5 miles from Historic Main Street in Park City, Utah

Here at The Colony – we treasure our open land, and we’re committed to sustainability. In fact, nearly 90-percent of the land will remain pristine and untouched open space – and we protect that commitment with conservation easements.

The homesites in Phase 5 E & F, our Meadow Lakes area, are among the largest available; they boast commanding views, old-growth forests, a remarkable water feature, and flat building pads.

Among what makes these Meadow Lakes homesites particularly epic: unique private ski access, a Nordic ski track, and private walking and snowshoeing trails. These eight homesites are truly unlike anything else in The Colony.

Late Season Activities @ Park City Mountain

September 5, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

We are closing in on the first day of fall – September 22 – but there are a few weeks of summer fun to be had at Park City Mountain. Activities are still running – albeit under a late-season schedule, which means the slides slip and the coaster launches Thursday – Sunday only.

Here’s a look at what you and your family can enjoy until summer activities stop for the season on September 30.

MOUNTAIN BIKING AND HIKING

Two of our favorite summer activities on the mountain are self-guided; lace up or velcro your preferred shoe, and take advantage of the miles of trails networking through Park City Mountain (some of them take you through The Colony, too!).

Hiking: Whether you’re walking or running, the trails are equal opportunity stunners. Grab a trail map and escape in into the mountains – trekking through the trees is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day, and there are options for all levels of ability.

Mountain biking at Park City Mountain (Photo courtesy: Park City Mountain)

Mountain Biking: Shredding applies in summer, too, and the beauty of activities at the resort is that there are options for support if you need it! You can rent mountain bikes at the Village, then hop on Crescent or Pay Day Chairlift so you can focus on the downhill. Bike haul tickets are also available for purchase.

ALPINE SLIDE & ALPINE COASTER

Alpine Slide: More than 3,000 feet of WHEE!: PCM’s Alpine Slide is among the longest in the world. And with three tracks to choose from, each luge-like launch is a different experience.

Alpine Coaster: Prefer a mountain ride on rails? Buckle into the Alpine Coaster. The winding track slings you through more than a mile of mountainside; carving and looping at speeds up to 30 mph. And if you want to slow down and enjoy the incredible scenery, there’s an easy-to-reach brake on your coaster car.

ZIP LINES

If being above the treetops is more your thing, zip lines at Park City Mountain will make it happen. Relish the views at 110 feet off the ground, and enjoy the wind in your face as you’re propelled at speeds up to 45 mph. The Flying Eagle is a two-seater, and the ZipRider™is a fun chance to race your friends.

MINI GOLF & ADVENTURE ZONE

Catch your breath at the base of the Village and enjoy an 18-hole round of miniature golf. And if the kids want to see more action while you’re puttering around, there are seven other ways for you to tucker them out before it’s time to tuck them into bed.

Legacy Launcher – four trampolines (with safety harnesses) let the kiddos bounce all their energy out – and safely try tricks under supervision.
Kids’ Zip – avoid the too-small-for-the-big-zip-line meltdown and head straight here for full-scale thrills at a size that’s perfect for your little one.
Kids’ Rope Course – another age and size-appropriate way for kids to safely try some big challenges.
Boulders – the smallest climbers can experience Southern Utah terrain from the comfort of Park City.
Climbing Wall – safety climbing harnesses and trained attendants give kids a chance to explore scaling a big-time wall – with five different routes to try.
Kids’ Tubing – tubing is now a summer sport; no need for snow to experience this adventure!
Gem Panning – experience Park City’s mining legacy while you pan for gems in the interactive flume.

WEEKLY @ THE VILLAGE

While the music has stopped, you have plenty of time left to score local produce and products at the Park City Farmers Market. You can enjoy this on Wednesdays in the Silver King Parking Lot. The Farmers Market’s last day is Wednesday, October 17.

OPENING DAY WINTER 2018/2019

Both Park City Mountain Village and Canyons Village are scheduled to open for the 2018/2019 winter season on Wednesday, November 21.

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in, ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City. 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 is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

“Art + Belief “
7 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium
Park City Library

This film is part of the Made in Utah Film Series. From the Park City Film Series website: “‘Art+Belief’ follows the journey of Trevor Southey, a gay Mormon artist from Africa who dreams of becoming a modern-day Michelangelo. At its core, Art+Belief is about the balancing act between individual vision and religious conformity and the unlikely possibilities of reconciliation. These artists show us that we each have a unique spiritual journey that can flourish regardless of our religious allegiances.” There will be a Q & A with director Nathan Florence after the screening, which is free to the community.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Park City Film Series:“Won’t You Be My Neighbor”
September 7 – 9 @ Jim Santy Auditorium
Park City Library

Put this one on your calendar! There has been so much buzz about “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” we’ll be surprised if there’s an open seat left for any one of the screenings. The film takes an intimate look at Fred Rogers, known to most of us as the zip-up-cardigan-wearing Mr. Rogers. This emotional film goes into the heart of the quietly revolutionary genius who was Mr. Rogers. Shows are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Hike for Hunger
Saturday, September 8
1 – 6 PM

This annual event raises awareness about hunger issues locally – and globally.

The Christian Center also delivers healthy snacks to over 350 local students each month as part of the Snacks in Backpacks program.

Watch for more information on Hike for Hunger, as well as a closer look at the good work the Christian Center does for our community, in the coming days.

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in, ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City. 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 is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.
