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.

The Dream Lots on Dream Ridge

April 22, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

The Dream Lots on Dream Ridge in The Colony at White Pine Canyon.

The view: priceless.
It’s an accepted fact: homesites of The Colony at White Pine Canyon are special. But these lots – the Dream Lots – are in a category of their very own.

They are the most spectacular homesites ever offered in The Colony. Nestled in the Wasatch Back, in the heart of one of the largest ski and snowboard resorts in North America, the Dream Lots offer 360º perspectives: of Park City Mountain, territorial down-valley views, and the majestic Uinta Range ridgeline.

The access: matchless.
Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, and more – all of it is at your doorstep.

In the winter months, more than 50% of the Canyons Village terrain lands within The Colony’s boundaries. In all, more than 7,300 acres of Park City Mountain’s skiable land are at your ski tips.

In warm weather, the snow melts and a massive network of public and private hiking, biking, walking, and horseback riding trails is revealed. The trails connect to more than 400 miles of single-track throughout the surrounding Park City area, including the acclaimed 26-mile Mid-Mountain Trail, which runs directly through The Colony.

A final word about access: The Colony is just 35 miles from Salt Lake International Airport, and 22 miles from Heber Valley Airport, perfect for private jet travel. Once you arrive, you’re a mere five miles to Park City’s Historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival, and world-class dining and shopping.

The space: open.
Open space is the thread with which The Colony is woven together. The devotion to open land is such that nearly 90% of the development’s 4,600 acres will remain pristine and untouched open space, protected with preservation easements.

The feeling: celestial.
Live the alpine dream year-round from your dream home, perched atop Dream Ridge, which feels like your personal mountain.

These unparalleled homesites are partially wooded with lush aspen groves and evergreens, offer relatively flat building envelopes and unmatched privacy.

Dream on.
Connect with Bronson Calder, Director of Sales here at The Colony, to schedule your private tour of these treasures of The Colony at White Pine Canyon, and find out why coming home to The Colony feels like a true departure.

Winter 2018 | 2019 @ The Colony

April 16, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

An EPIC Ski Season

The snow this winter at The Colony at White Pine Canyon was nothing short of spectacular. Park City Mountain’s 350+ inches of snow almost doubled the total snowfall for last year! For homeowners in The Colony, the ski day begins and ends at the front door, so this year’s epic snowfall meant first tracks all winter long. In fact, the amount of time it takes to get out on a powder day here depends on how long you linger over your morning latte.

ALL-ACCESS PASS

Access, privacy, and open space are among the elements which set The Colony at White Pine Canyon apart. For those who live here, directly in the heart of one of the largest ski and snowboard resort in the United States, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and more are right at your doorstep. It’s no wonder that people say coming home to The Colony feels like a true departure.

First Light over The Colony at White Pine Canyon

The Colony community is a private one, set in the middle of Park City Mountain. The skiing is called epic for a reason: There are more than 7,300 acres of winter magic in-bounds. By the numbers, that’s 348 trails, 41 lifts, 13 bowls, 8 terrain parks, 2 ski villages (Park City Mountain Village and Canyons Village), 1 superpipe, and 1 mini pipe. One final number to consider: The Colony boasts more than 50% of the Canyons Village terrain within its boundaries →that’s what we call an all-access pass!

A final word about access: The Colony is just 35 miles from Salt Lake International Airport, and 22 miles from Heber Valley Airport, which is perfect for those with a private jet. Once you arrive, you’re a mere five miles to Park City’s Historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

BUILD YOUR LEGACY AT THE COLONY

Today, The Colony is writing its final chapter, with progress unfolding in the fifth of five phases – the Meadow Lakes lots. Overall, there are just 27 homesites available, priced from $1.9 to $5.5 million, including our newest mountain-top gems, The Dream Lots. All of them boast commanding views, old-growth forests, and unique private ski access.

There’s no question that The Colony at White Pine Canyon feels like its own world; its access, privacy, and open spaces are incomparable. But the duality of that access also contributes to the singularity of The Colony experience. Its proximity to all that Park City has to offer provides homeowners the luxury of quickly connecting with the community and participating in whichever elements of city life they choose, with the knowledge that their private mountain retreat is just moments away.

Connect with Bronson Calder, Director of Sales, to begin to build your legacy (or to buy one already custom-made) in The Colony at White Pine Canyon.

From the Kimball Art Center website:
“ In striking and poignant images, Sue Flood takes us to Earth’s coldest places. Flood has made numerous journeys to Antarctica and the Arctic, yet her sense of awe in these remote lands never fades. 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

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.

THURSDAY, February 14: Valentine’s Day

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.”

Park City Film: “Leaning into the Wind”
7 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium | Park City Library
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.

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.

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

~

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.

The award-winning musicians have earned numerous awards—including Grammy Awards and Canada’s Juno and East Coast Music awards—for their brand of high-energy fiddling, dancing, and singing. Along with their lads and lasses, MacMaster and Leahy are on a musical mission to continue Celtic arts traditions, around the globe.
