Perfection Has A New Address: The Colony

Our new Summer 2018 advertisement features one of The Colony’s most magnificent homesteads. Created by Upwall Design, and brought to life by Midway Construction Company, this home is a pure mountain masterpiece. Watch for this gorgeous ad on Facebook and Instagram, as well as in print editions of Park City Magazine and Western Home Journal.

About Us

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is a development unlike any other in the world. With our commitment to open space and a less-is-more philosophy, we set the standard for on-mountain living. Approximately 90% of our 4600 acres will be preserved in perpetuity as open land, thanks to protection from conservation easements.

Mid-Mountain Trail is one of a network which runs through The Colony.

Every single one of our homesites is ski-in | ski-out, and when the snow melts, a network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails is revealed. One of our favorites, the Mid-Mountain Trail, spans 26 miles and connects The Colony to Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort, and finishes at Utah Olympic Park.

The Colony is closely connected with our Park City, Utah community, but trust us when we say, if you live here, it feels like your own world.

The Final Chapter

We are entering our final chapter here at The Colony, with the recent release of our Phase 5 Meadow Lakes homesites. Of the 13 homesites released, seven are already under contract or sold – which means just six are still available under the current release. These homesites surround the upper meadow and are all nestled among old-growth forests, with lakes, streams, and waterfalls nearby.

Lakes, streams, and waterfalls dot the upper meadow homesites.

Park City Dinner Dining Guide

April 3, 2018 by Colony PR

New York. Paris. Tokyo. Park City. Those are the first four cities that come to our mind for food, and it should be yours too. With Zagat rated restaurants and award-winning chefs, Park City, is dining destination unto itself.

Chefs like Zane Holmquist at Stein Eriksen Lodge, Seth Adams at Riverhorse on Main and Bill White helped put Park City on the foodie map a few decades ago. The local gourmet scene took off from there and has not slowed down since. New restaurants open regularly, events such as ChefDance (held during Sundance) and a slew of summer dining events keeps diners on their toes year-round.

Need more convincing? Here are our favorite dinner spots.

Firewood on Main

Reclaimed bricks and timber bring the alpine feel of this relatively new Main Street eatery to life, along with the sight of an open flame through a wall of windows peering into the kitchen. Cooking over a custom-made grill—one of only four of its kind—Chef John Murcko rotates fresh, local ingredients to create a “multi-sensory culinary experience.” Chef’s menu includes wild game, such as elk, as well as more familiar cuts such as lamb chops and New York Strip, and several seafood options.

Private dining options are available as well, with the option of using multiple bar areas including the building’s original 1906-era Nickel Bar. The restaurant can even arrange private entrance via Swede Alley.

Handle

Chef Briar Handly is a relative newcomer to the Park City dining scene, quickly earning accolades from food critics, locals and visitors alike. Seasonal ingredients inspire Handle’s locally driven menu of small plates that run the gamut on influences.

Set in a dimly lit dining room with rustic accents and a statement wall of quirky, nature-influenced artwork provides a perfect backdrop for standout dishes like the buffalo cauliflower or Scallops smothered in lobster and crawfish etouffee. Inventive cocktails accompany the menu to round out a memorable meal.

Handle has already expanded to a second location, HSL, in downtown Salt Lake City.

Tupelo

Tupelo is a restaurant where the meal is truly a journey. That journey is the exact intention of Chef Matt Harris. Inspired by global travel through food, Harris and his team have put together a menu that includes everything from local Utah mushrooms to Maine mussels and Sonoma duck breast and everything in between.

Adventurous diners can opt for inventive dishes such as the “Utah Chicken Fried Rabbit” or, for those with more traditional taste buds buttermilk biscuits, kale caesar and local trout are presented with fresh and exciting twists.

Grappa

Bill White’s flagship Italian restaurant blends an alpine villa feel with hearty Italian dishes. While the cascading patio is brilliant in summer months, the warmth of the interior is a cozy place for a winter meal. Let’s be honest – does anything smell better than marinara sauce on a winter evening? Of course not – and Grappa smells, looks and feels like you are in the Italian Alps and you found the local go-to spot for a big meal.

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.

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

Long recognized as one of the premier fine art galleries of the West, Mountain Trails Gallery proudly represents many of the most renowned contemporary and western artists of our time.

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

301 Main Street

Eat: Deer Valley’s Fireside Dining and Seafood Buffet

Deer Valley closes on Sunday, April 8th, and with that, two of our favorites: Fireside Dining and Seafood Buffet. Offering local favorites from the European Alps in the heart of Deer Valley, Fireside Dining features four courses served from our stone fireplaces at Empire Canyon Lodge.

Seafood Buffet, located at Snow Park Lodge, serves a vast array of fresh seafood including poke bar, chilled shellfish, hot seafood appetizers and entrées, carvery specials, vegetable specialties and prime rib along with a baker’s dozen of housemade desserts.

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.

If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at ceramics, Kimball Art Center offers an open clay studio event each Friday. Perfect for first-timers, you’ll begin with a wheel throwing demonstration (don’t worry, it’s much easier than it sounds), and can then create anything you wish.

President’s Day is roughly the mid-point of the ski season. So, if you haven’t done it yet, book a day of heli-skiing with Wasatch Powderbird Guides. With locations at Snowbird Resort and in Park City, Powderbird’s gets you to the goods – fast!

Olympics:

We called around town to find a few places to catch up on the Games. Here are our picks:

No Name Saloon, Butcher’s Chop House & Bar, and Boneyard & Wine Dive will be airing the games at all three locations. Butcher’s does have a 166″ projector screen as well.

The Eating Establishment will be airing the Olympics on all three of their TVs, from opening to closing ceremonies.

Fletchers will have the Olympics on as well, with the lounge being a great place to watch the Games.

Deer Valley Resort will have TV’s set up in the EBS lounge, and also the clock room for viewing anytime.

Versante at Park City Peaks Hotel will offer food and drink specials during the Games, with live action on several TV’s.

Billy Blanco’s (at the Jeremy Ranch exit) will be showing all the Olympic action on their 8+ large HDTVs.
