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.

Dream Home: 110 White Pine Canyon Road

July 2, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

This pristine mountain ridgeline estate, with highly-sought-after down valley views, is nestled in the heart of The Colony at White Pine Canyon and is perfectly-placed to maximize ski access in one of the nation’s largest ski and snowboard resorts.

110 White Pine Canyon is scrupulously designed to integrate seamlessly into the slope of Dream Peak, and out its back door lies access to the entirety of Park City Mountain Resort. A quick click into skis places you on the intermediate Twilight run, and from there, you will enjoy nearly unprecedented access to some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world.

Head to the base of Iron Mountain Express for entry to the Quicksilver Gondola – and explore the Park City side of the resort acreage. Alternatively, glide to Tombstone Express, and discover thousands of acres of epic, uncrowded Canyons terrain.

This mountain retreat’s meticulous design was crafted to take advantage of the breathtaking down valley and mountain views.

Exacting workmanship and the highest quality materials, including Wolf Creek Moss Rock inside and out, have come together to create a sense of warmth, color, and character only found in on-mountain luxury living.

The main home has 8 bedrooms total, with 10 bathrooms, and covers 9,499 square feet on 6.13 acres.

The top level master suite has some of the most spectacular views to be found in the entirety of The Colony, with a heated deck right outside the french doors upon which to sit, relax, and enjoy them.

The main home includes three levels of east-facing window walls to highlight a panoramic ridge view, which stretches all the way to the Unita Mountains.

An apartment, perfect for a caretaker or nanny, is placed in its own private wing.

A detached 2,012 square foot bunkhouse was constructed in 2011, with an additional three bedrooms, for 11,511 total square feet of living space.

Also found in this spectacular mountain retreat: multiple entertainment enclaves, an office, a dedicated ski room, wet bar, theatre, and wine cellar.

This estate, designed by Mark Walker of Otto Walker Architects and completed in 2004 by Sletta Contstcution Inc, is truly a work of art.

View the listing HERE. To take a private tour of this incredible ridge line retreat with unmatched down-valley views, connect with Colony Sales Team Lead, Bronson Calder.

Park City FIlm: “If Beale Street Could Talk”

“Set in early 1970s Harlem, this is a timeless and moving love story of both a couple’s unbreakable bond and the African-American family’s empowering embrace, as told through the eyes of 19-year-old Tish Rivers.

A daughter and wife-to-be, Tish vividly recalls the passion, respect, and trust that have connected her and her artist fiancé. Friends since childhood, the devoted couple dream of a future together but their plans are derailed when he is arrested for a crime he did not commit. Based on a book by James Baldwin, the story takes place in a racially biased world in which the filmmaker poetically shows how love and humanity endure.

‘This movie works as a timeless romance, a family drama, a legal thriller and a poignant social commentary. A great American novel has been turned into a great American film.’ -Chicago Sun Times”

From the Kimball Art Center website:

From the boundless charm of penguins to the grandeur of vast ice shelves, she captures moments of intense drama and epic beauty.”
~

Paul Crow: On Ice
Café Gallery @ Kimball Art Center
Through April 7
From the Kimball Art Center website:
“The month I was born, the first Nimbus satellite was launched, taking images of polar ice as it began its work. From that September in 1964 to September 2012, the ice coverage in the Arctic has fallen by half. And the ice is thinner.

Ice sheets are expanses of glacier ice covering surfaces of land and free water greater than 50,000 square kilometers. The only ice sheets now on earth are in Greenland and Antarctica. Antarctica loses a hundred cubic kilometers of ice each year. New icebergs are born of melting glaciers, breaking free into the open ocean. Sea levels rise.

Ice is a time capsule, storing bits of creatures, traces of gasses and waters from prior earths. Some of it dead, some of it not quite. In the year that I was born, scientists began tracking the long-term ice record of the Arctic lake Kilpisjärvi at the northwestern tip of Finland, not far from the point where the borders of Sweden, Norway, and Finland meet. Typically frozen for eight months of the year, Lake Kilpisjärvi has frozen an average of 2.3 days later each decade since 1964, and in each of those decades, the lake has seen a decrease of an average of 3.4 days of total ice cover.” –Paul Crow

Lines with Power and Purpose
Tozer Gallery @ Park City Museum
Through March 9
From the Park City Museum website:
“On a daily basis, editorial cartoonists deliver biting social commentary made palatable through amusing and well-crafted illustration. Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons features over forty original editorial cartoons from the nation’s great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. Included in the mix are six Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists, each demonstrating the theme of political commentary through editorial illustrations and addressing issues from the first half of the twentieth century.

These deceptively simple drawings frame the public’s understanding of early-to-mid twentieth-century world events and trends ranging from the two world wars, the great depression, public discontent with the US government, presidential elections, daily battles regarding work-related rejection, nostalgia for homespun neighborhood charm in the Midwest, and more. Along the way, these cartoons served a dualistic intention: to provide welcomed comic relief as well as shape opinion.”

Park City Event Guide: February 14 – 18

February 14, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

We’re publishing this event guide a bit on the early side because the weekend gets off to a quick start with Valentine’s Day and stretches right on through to Presidents’ Day. When we tell you that this weekend is absolutely stacked with activities, we’re not joking.

Love Your Library Week
Cookies and Books
10 AM – 10 PM @ Park City Library
One of our finest Park City treasures, the Park City Library, is celebrating Love Your Library Week with books and cookies.

Not only do you get to enjoy the sweet treats – you’ll get to take a free book home with you (which, for some of us, *is* the sweet treat).

The library encourages the community to try one of the (truly incredible) resources it regularly provides to our residents. They will help you create a 3D print, take a virtual reality trip, and show you where to look to view some lovely artwork created, of course, by our local artist community.

BMW Biathlon World Cup
Feb. 14 – 17 @ Soldier Hollow

If you’re wondering exactly what biathlon is – look no further. Soldier Hollow describes is as a combination of “cross-country skiing with marksmanship and has its roots in winter survival skills practiced in the forests of Scandinavia where people hunted on skis. A biathlon competition consists of a race in which contestants ski through a cross-country trail system whose total distance is divided into either two or four shooting rounds, half in prone position, the other half standing. For each shooting round, the biathlete must hit five targets and receives a penalty lap or time for each missed target. Biathlon made its Olympic debut in its current form in 1960. With a total cumulative TV viewership approaching one billion, biathlon is the most popular winter sport in Europe.”

Also from the Soldier Hollow website:
“The last and only Biathlon World Cup Solider Hollow hosted was in 2001 prior to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Approximately 28 nations and 180 athletes will be coming to Midway, Utah for the 2019 Biathlon World Cup.”

From the Park City Film website:
“Sixteen years after the release of the groundbreaking film Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time director Thomas Riedelsheimer has returned to work with the artist. Leaning into the Wind – Andy Goldsworthy follows Andy on his exploration of the layers of his world and the impact of the years on himself and his art. As Goldsworthy introduces his own body into the work it becomes at the same time even more fragile and personal and also sterner and tougher, incorporating massive machinery and crews on his bigger projects. Riedelsheimer’s exquisite film illuminates Goldsworthy’s mind as it reveals his art.”

Luna Lobos Dogsled Experience

A one-of-a-kind dog sled experience from Rancho Luna Lobos. The dogsled tours happen year-round at their ranch. A new part of the experience is the kennel tour, a presentation, and time to play with the pups before the ride. And – maybe the best part – participants get to take turns jumping on the back with the musher to experience what it feels like to drive the team. Each session lasts about an hour and a half. More information HERE.

Lines with Power and Purpose
Tozer Gallery @ Park City Museum
Through March 9
From the Park City Museum website:
“On a daily basis, editorial cartoonists deliver biting social commentary made palatable through amusing and well-crafted illustration. Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons features over forty original editorial cartoons from the nation’s great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. Included in the mix are six Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists, each demonstrating the theme of political commentary through editorial illustrations and addressing issues from the first half of the twentieth century.

The cartoonist draws strength from the limited conventions of the newspaper context. Just as the strict rules of a haiku challenge the poet to create exactly the right mood within the tight construction of very few words, the editorial cartoonist presents a powerful distillation of political argument through a single image and maybe a few well-placed labels or a short caption.

To accomplish this underappreciated feat, cartoonists develop their own language—a language taught to and subsequently shared with their readers. Standard symbols such as the oft-used Uncle Sam or Statue of Liberty evoke abstract concepts such as nation, patriotism, and public interest. On a darker side, cartoons reveal the inherent cruelty of prejudice, xenophobia, and ignorance.

The Melton Gallery at the University of Central Oklahoma, the curator of the exhibition, has housed this set of political cartoons for more than three decades. This exhibition was organized by ExhibitsUSA, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance.”

Heber City Food Trucks by Firelight
5 – 8 PM @ Heber City Hall

~

Park City Film: “Shoplifters”
8 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium
From the Park City Film website:
“On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders is united by fierce loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family. Buy tickets HERE. Friday and Saturday at 8 PM, Sunday at 6 PM.

Rising to fame in 2006 following the success of his debut album, Food & Liquor, Lupe has released six acclaimed studio albums; his latest being Drogas Wave, released in 2017 on his own label, 1st & 15th. These albums have netted 3 platinum singles, 3 RIAA Gold Certifications, 12 Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award in 2008 for his infectious single, “Daydreamin,” feat Jill Scott. With a trilogy of albums set for 2018 and beyond, Lupe is at his creative peak as an artist.
