SEE: Wild Encounters: Photography by David Yarrow

Wild Encounters is a must-see for nature lovers, conservationists, photographers and anyone who is inspired by all that remains wild.

Yarrow’s photographs offer an intimate view of some of the world’s most compelling—and threatened—species, capturing the splendor and very soul of what remains wild and free in our world through portraits that feel close enough to touch.

Swaner Eco Center
Through May 13

Friday & Saturday – 8 PM

Egyptian Theatre

If punk is more your speed, The English Beat plays OP Rockwell Saturday, April 14th.

WATCH: Park City Film Series

Mud season can’t slow down the PC Film Series. Three showings of Journeys End, an intelligent, meticulously crafted drama about British soldiers in the trenches of World War I, plays the Jim Santy Auditorium Friday – Sunday.

Tales of the Night, presented in French with English subtitles, take viewers on a global journey this Saturday as part of the Foreign Cinema…For Kids! Program.

DO: Golf Season

One of the advantages of Park City life is the ability to play sports from multiple seasons back-to-back – sometimes even on the same day. 36 holes are open at Mountain Dell in Parleys Canyon (I-80) – conveniently located on the way to or from Salt Lake, should you want to dust off the skis for some morning powder in the Cottonwoods, and hit the links in the afternoon. We call it the Utah biathlon.

Stay tuned to the blog for a golf guide to the Park City area, as well as other spring and summer activities.

Closing Day: April 8th, 2018

April 6, 2018 by Colony PR

The last day on skis, when the lifts spin for the final time, might seem like sad day, but at Park City, it’s more like an on-mountain party. Spring is just ahead with flowers blooming and wildlife sightings, as well as summer hiking, biking and golf – speaking which, stay tuned next week for more on these topics – but saying goodbye for a final time to winter calls for a celebration.

Both Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort plan to close April 8, with several fun events planned. Deer Valley’s closing weekend will feature several live music options, including Lash LaRue and Muddpuddle.

Find the lineup deervalley.com.

Park City Resort hosts one of the most unique parties on Saturday, April 7 – the annual Pond Skimming competition. Contestants don costumes, gather some speed downhill and attempt to cross a near-freezing pond. Most do not make it, leading to roars of laughter from the crowd!

Catch live music, the Thin Air Innovation Festival and more throughout closing weekend at Park City.

All events can be found here.

Thin Air Concert

Deer Valley Resort, in conjunction with Park City Mountain, will host the third annual Thin Air Concert on Main Street. The show will feature Citizen Cope, (a.k.a. Clarence Greenwood). Cope’s music is an eclectic mix of rock, blues, hip-hop, and folk influences that fuse together to form a unique, soulful sound. For Thin Air 2018, he’s bringing along an ensemble of musicians for an amazing night of acoustic-driven rock. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. on lower Main Street.

More skiing

If you are still jonesing for a few more turns, Alta and Solitude both stay open until April 15, Brighton is planning on April 22, while Snowbird intends to stay open as long as they have snow – some years well into May or June.

The Epic Pass will cost $899 and is the best way for Utah skiers and riders to access Park City Mountain’s 348 trails all season long.

Last Friday Gallery Stroll

March 30, 2018 by Colony PR

The Park City Gallery Association hosts a gallery stroll on the last Friday of each month, falling on March 30th this month. Running from 6 – 9 PM, light refreshments are served to art patrons as they discover some of the incredible local artists who call Park City home.

Most of the twenty or so galleries are on, or within a couple blocks, of Main Street, making for an enjoyable walk – especially if you start at the top of Main and wind your way downhill. Printing out this handy gallery map before heading to town makes finding your preferred stops a breeze.

Some of our favorites are Gallery MAR, and J GO – both between 4th and 5th Streets on Main. The next block uphill is home to seven galleries, including Mangelsen – Images of Nature Gallery, featuring the work or famous nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen. His limited edition prints of wild places and animals would be a perfect complement to a mountain home at The Colony.

Don’t miss galleries on Lower Main as well – each are worth the walk to the other side of town. Julie Nester Gallery is a must stop to take in the ever-rotating collection of contemporary art pieces.

Find up to date information on the Gallery Association facebook page and website.

Weekend of March 16-18

March 15, 2018 by Colony PR

It’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend, so expect plenty of green on the slopes Saturday, along with some free concerts! Our pick for Corned Beef & Cabbage is at Flanagan’s on Main – get there early, as it’s always a packed house on St. Patty’s.

Apres Ski: Spring Concert Series

Park City Mountain Resort continues their Spring Concert Series this Saturday. Catch Rage Against the Supremes (not a typo) at Payday and Tony Holiday & The Velvetones on the Canyons Village Stage. Both concerts are free from 3-5PM on Saturday, March 17.

The legendary 60’s English beat rock band plays four shows on Main Street at the Egyptian Theater. Dust off the old records, and reacquaint yourself with favorites such as “I’m Into Something Good” and “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter.”

8 PM. March 15-17

Watch: The Insult

The Park City Film Series shows The Insult, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In today’s Beirut, a civilian dispute blown out of proportion finds a Lebanese Christian and a Palestinian refugee, facing off in court. As the media circus surrounding the case threatens a social explosion in divided Lebanon, Tony and Yasser reconsider their values and beliefs as revelations of trauma complicate their understanding of one another.

8 PM. March 9 & 10 – 8 PM
6 PM. March 11.

See: Mountain Trails Gallery

Several new Native American portraits are currently on display, as well as several stunning landscapes.

The Colony Gives Back

March 14, 2018 by Colony PR

Giving back to our local community is one of the most rewarding feelings we can have. The Colony, including residents and agents, believe in the credo of “doing well, by doing good.” Last week two of our agents, Bronson Calder and Kurt Peterson, spent an hour on KPCW radio to raise funds for the station during KPCW’s Winter Pledge Drive. They were able to raise funds that keep non-profit community stations on the air.

If you are looking for ways to participate in a philanthropic sense in your Park City community, here are a few of the organizations The Colony works with to support and further their missions.

KPCW Community Radio Connection
On-air since 1980, the aforementioned KPCW (91.9 FM Radio) reaches 73% of all adults in the Summit and Wasatch counties of Utah at least once a week, twelve times more than any other radio station in the area. KPCW also “streams” its programs via its website to listeners around the world. Tune into KPCW for local information and stay tuned for annual pledge drive information with The Colony as an on-air sponsor. KPCW radio is a non-profit, volunteer supported organization whose mission is to educate, inform, entertain and provide access to a diverse community with quality local, national and international programming.

Peace House
Peace House is a non-profit organization located in Park City, Utah, established in 1995. Through education, shelter and support services, Peace House empowers women to break the cycle of domestic violence in their own lives and those of their children. Peace House also reaches out to individuals and groups within the service area of Summit and Wasatch Counties with education and awareness programs to help break the cycle of domestic violence in communities.

Mountain Trails Foundation
Mountain Trails Foundation promotes and preserves trail access for all non-motorized users and maintains the robust trail system in the Park City area. This includes the acclaimed 26-mile “Mid-Mountain Trail,” which runs through The Colony and has been designated an “Epic Trail” by the International Mountain Biking Association. The Colony promotes trail access for public and private use and is proud to support MTF.

Youth Winter Sports Alliance
The Mission of The Alliance is to support winter sports activities for youth in Summit and Wasatch counties, promoting good sportsmanship and healthy lifestyles through participation, education, and competition. The Colony supports YWSA through their annual fundraiser event each autumn.

People’s Health Clinic
People’s Health Clinic is a non-profit, primary care facility that provides high-quality medical services to uninsured individuals and families in Summit and Wasatch Counties. Patients are seen by appointment, and a donation is requested at each visit, yet no one is turned away for inability to pay.
