The Colony at White Pine Canyon is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive ski-in/ski-out communities in North America. Located on the slopes of Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) in the Canyons Village area, The Colony offers unmatched privacy, expansive acreage, and true alpine estate living with direct ski access.
For buyers seeking the highest level of exclusivity, space, and long-term value in Park City, The Colony stands alone.
The Colony is situated high on the mountain above Canyons Village at Park City Mountain, spanning more than 4,600 acres of preserved alpine terrain. Properties are accessed via a private, gated entry and are positioned throughout White Pine Canyon, offering dramatic views and complete separation from in-town density.
Location highlights include:
Direct ski-in/ski-out access to Park City Mountain Resort
Approximately 10 minutes to Canyons Village base area
15 minutes to Historic Main Street
About 40 minutes to Salt Lake City International Airport
Despite its seclusion, The Colony remains highly accessible to Park City’s dining, shopping, and year-round activities.
The Colony is defined by true ski-in/ski-out access. Homesites and estate residences connect directly to Park City Mountain’s trail system, allowing owners to ski from their property to lifts, groomed runs, and on-mountain amenities.
Key features include:
Direct access to Park City Mountain Resort terrain
Private ski corridors serving individual homesites
Seamless winter access without base-area congestion
Immediate summer access to hiking and mountain biking trails
This level of integration with PCMR is extremely rare at the estate-home scale.
Real estate in The Colony consists primarily of large custom estate homes and expansive homesites, many ranging from several acres to well over 10 acres in size.
Property characteristics include:
Ultra-luxury custom residences
Large acreage with significant separation between homes
Private driveways and controlled access
Architecture ranging from modern mountain to classic alpine lodge
Strict design guidelines and limited buildable inventory help preserve views, privacy, and long-term value.
The Colony is designed as a low-density, residential estate community.
Important ownership considerations:
Gated access and private infrastructure
Emphasis on privacy and long-term ownership
Short-term rentals are generally discouraged under governing documents, reinforcing the residential nature of the community
HOA oversight focused on preservation, access, and environmental stewardship
Buyers considering rental use should always verify current HOA rules and neighborhood-specific regulations.
The Colony is located within the Park City School District, which is a meaningful factor for full-time residents and families considering relocation.
The Colony consistently attracts buyers who prioritize:
True ski-in/ski-out access at Park City Mountain
Extreme privacy and acreage
Ultra-luxury custom homes
Limited inventory and controlled development
One of the most prestigious addresses in Park City
The Colony is often compared to Deer Crest and Upper Deer Valley, but it differentiates itself through lot size, privacy, and scale, rather than proximity to a base village or hotel amenities.
Compared to other high-end Park City neighborhoods:
The Colony offers larger homesites than Deer Crest
More privacy and separation than ski-base condo communities
Fewer short-term rental pressures than in-town areas
A stronger emphasis on estate living rather than resort density
For buyers seeking ski access without sacrificing privacy or space, The Colony is unmatched.
The Colony at White Pine Canyon represents the pinnacle of luxury ski-in/ski-out real estate in Park City. With expansive acreage, gated privacy, direct access to Park City Mountain Resort, and extremely limited inventory, it remains one of the most exclusive and enduring alpine communities in the United States.
