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:

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

Together they begin training the stallion to race against the fastest horses in the world. Based on the book of the same name by Walter Farley.

Park City Film: “Zombillenium”
4 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium

This free screening is presented by Park City Film, as part of its Foreign Cinema for Kids series. From the PCF website:
“Sprung from the comic book pages and crypts alike, celebrated French graphic novelist Arthur de Pins’ characters come to life, or er, undeath, on the big screen with a wickedly wry story of monster liberation. Challenges abound when amusement park Zombillenium is threatened by a corporate buy-out. Fortunately, high-minded ghoul dad Hector, tenacious witchboarder Gretchen, and a collective cohort of zombies rise up and fight in true French form for worker rights—above and below ground—in this clever genre and monster mash up. Recommended for ages 10+.

Presented in French with English subtitles in partnership with Park City Library.”

They will bring their mission to uplift, empower, and connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth, for a week of outreach. They will lead workshops in city and county government offices, schools, and other non-profits, developing community resources and connections. The week culminates in a Main Stage performance – equal parts wit, whimsy, empowerment, and inspiration.”

A free Lupe Fiasco concert + fireworks = an epic closing celebration on Historic Main Street in Park City.

From Deer Valley, the sponsor of closing ceremonies:
“Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is a Chicago-born, Grammy award-winning American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and community advocate. The independent rapper who parted ways with his former label, Atlantic Records, following the release of 2015’s Tetsuo & Youth, is pegged as one of the most gifted lyricists and visionaries to grace the mic. 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. His efforts to propagate conscious material helped solidify him as GQ’s Man of the Year in 2006, and garnered recognition as a Henry Crown Fellow.”

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.

Park City Special Event: Sundance 2019

January 23, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Tens and tens – and tens – of thousands of people will attend the 2019 Sundance Film Festival this year, with venues spread across Salt Lake, Sundance Resort, and, of course, right here in our very own little Park City. More than 40,000 people will make our town their basecamp for the festival, and you’re likely already experiencing the impact in your daily life.

TRAFFIC IMPACT & ALERTS
The 10-day event starts off with an influx of humanity, which leads to packed streets, restaurants, and venues. With this combination, things are bound to get jammed up. Sign up for alerts from the Festival and the City by texting FILMFEST to 888777. Notifications about traffic, closures, weather, and emergencies will be sent out.

There are, of course, parking closures, changes, and alternatives right off the bat. The image below, from the City, shows where those are.

Now more than ever, Park City’s free public transportation system is the most efficient way to navigate the crowds! If you are doing the film routes, make sure to utilize the Sundance shuttles, as there is no public parking at Festival theaters or venues — and no parking of any kind on Main Street. And – be aware – parking at China Bridge is $40/day – and that’s without re-entry.

SKIING DURING SUNDANCE
One big bonus during Sundance – it’s some of the best skiing of the year! The mountains are relatively open since most of our visitors are watching screens instead of hitting the slopes. Take advantage of it while you can!

In fact, at Deer Valley this weekend (Saturday, January 26, 20019), first-time local skiers can sign up for the Ski Utah Learn to Ski Program. For $49, you get a lesson, a lift ticket, ski rental equipment, and a locker for storage. That is a SMOKIN’ deal! (Reservations must be made prior to January 26, 2019, by calling Deer Valley Resort at 435-645-6648, referring to “Ski Utah Learn to Ski Program.”)

THE FESTIVAL
This year, more than 14,200 film submissions were received, a record-breaking number, and the applicants represented 152 countries. From those, 112 feature-length films were selected to be screened, with 33 countries represented and 45 first-time filmmakers.

There are quite a few guides to be found, and if you’re a diehard Sundancer, chances are you’re already wearing your lanyard and your docket is full. For the rest of us, Park City Magazine has created “Sundance for the Casual Festival Goer.” With tips like focusing on early and late screenings, taking advantage of Townie Tuesday, and enjoying Best of Fest (our personal favorite way to enjoy Sundance – you’re just about guaranteed to enjoy a terrific film and it’s not too crowded), it’s worth scanning the list.

OFFSCREEN
There are about a million and two things to do offscreen – and these are just the official Sundance events! There are dozens and dozens of panels: Power of Story, Cinema Café, New Frontier Panels, Festival Panels, and Partner Panels; music options, parties, private screenings, and so. many. Sundance. sponsor. activities.

ASCAP MUSIC CAFÉ
The ASCAP Music Café celebrates how absolutely critical music is to the movies, and “honors the love affair between music and film with eight days of performances from artists and songwriters you need to know (and some you already know).” The Café is open to all Festival credential holders (ages 21+).

Whether you get out of town for the first Fest weekend or are here and cursing the traffic, keep in mind that nearly 125,000 people attended last year’s Festival → which generated $191.6 million (!) in economic activity for the state of Utah, and supported more than 3300 local jobs. It may not make waiting on 224 any less annoying, but it certainly does its part to keep our economy strong!
