Why Park City's Ski-In/Ski-Out Homes Are a Lifestyle Game-Changer
I'm Derrik Carlson, and as a leading Park City Realtor with Derrik & Co., I've spent years helping clients find their perfect ski home. I get a rush every time I stand on a snowy slope at Deer Valley Resort, watching clients realize they can ski right from their doorstep.
Skiing can be a way of life, and in no particular order, our top five ski-in/ski-out neighborhoods in Park City are Deer Crest, Nakoma, the Colony at White Pine Canyon, Bald Eagle, and Marcella. Blending luxury, adventure, and community in a way that transforms how you live.
My clients—CEOs, finance professionals, entrepreneurs, and high-level attorneys—come to the Park City area for homes that match their drive. They crave mornings spent carving fresh powder at Park City's ski resorts and evenings spent by a roaring fireplace in a Park City home.
At Derrik & Co., we specialize in Park City Real Estate, which delivers this vision. I've guided buyers to ski homes that become their havens, from winter slopes to summer trails near Marcella or Bald Eagle.
My team's negotiation skills and deep love for property in Park City's ski resorts ensure you get a home that's as rewarding as it is beautiful. Ready to dive into Park City's ski-in/ski-out homes? Call me at 435-200-5478 to find your Park City ski home today.
Your Ski-In/Ski-Out Dream Starts Here
Having sold Park City real estate since 2012, I find inspiration in the refined craftsmanship and attention to detail that builders put into America's most luxurious properties. From the hand-hewn timbers framing a slope-side lodge in Deer Valley Resort to the vaulted ceilings and panoramic windows of a ski property at Canyons Village, each home tells a story of exceptional quality and enduring value.
Helping clients secure these exclusive estates is more than a transaction—it celebrates their hard work and success. Whether arriving from the office or flying in from across the country, these homes become personal retreats where you can unplug, recharge, and make memories with loved ones. I take pride in matching my clients to properties that align with their lifestyle, whether teeing off at dawn on a private Park City golf course or carving fresh tracks at first light.
My commitment goes beyond listing presentations and negotiations. Drawing on over twenty years of industry experience and an extensive local network, I guide every client through the subtle nuances of Park City real estate—zoning, design review, off-market opportunities, and more—so they feel confident from their first tour to closing day. Ultimately, my greatest reward is knowing I've handed over the keys to a legacy that will bring joy to future generations.
Deer Crest: Gated Luxury with Seamless Ski Access
A Private Slope-Side Haven
Every time I take a client through Deer Crest's gates, I see their eyes light up—this is where dreams meet reality. As a Park City Realtor, I've seen how this gated community, part of Deer Valley Resort, redefines ski-in/ski-out living.
Picture stepping from your estate's living room onto private ski runs, carving fresh powder before the lifts even hum. With their stone fireplaces and large windows, these ski homes open to views of the Jordanelle Reservoir, blending elegance with nature.
The nearby ski trails, winding through pine-dotted slopes, beckon skiers and hikers who crave a rugged escape.
Year-Round Allure
When summer arrives, Deer Crest transforms into a hiker's paradise, with trails weaving through blooming hillsides. A quick drive takes you to Park City's Main Street, where you can enjoy fine dining at a top restaurant or pick up a local painting.
The St. Regis Hotel's spa, just minutes away, offers pure relaxation for those post-ski or hiking days. Deer Crest's scarce inventory makes it a coveted corner of Park City Real Estate, with luxury buyers who value seclusion and prestige.

Nakoma: Intimate Elegance in Deer Valley
Ski-In/Ski-Out Sophistication
I always feel a spark of excitement showing clients Nakoma—it's like revealing a hidden treasure. As a Park City Realtor, I see this boutique community in Empire Pass as the perfect blend of luxury and intimacy.
Nakoma's Park City homes make ski-in/ski-out living effortless: walk straight onto Deer Valley Resort's pristine slopes from your modern home with its wide glass doors. Empire Pass, just a short trail away, buzzes with lift access and charming cafes.

When summer sweeps in, Nakoma transforms into an explorer's haven. Empire Pass trails, bursting with wildflowers, invite morning hikes or evening bike rides. Around the corner, Park City's Main Street offers outdoor concerts and local markets, immersing you in Park City's lively spirit.

The Colony at White Pine Canyon: Vast Ski-In/Ski-Out Estates
Space and Ski Access
Showing clients The Colony at White Pine Canyon always feels like unveiling a private kingdom. Beyond simply offering ski-in/ski-out convenience, this exclusive enclave redefines what a mountain retreat can be. Here, estates sit on parcels measured in acres rather than square feet, with private trails weaving directly into Park City Mountain Resort's network of lifts and runs. No need to caravan through public lots or wait for shuttles—your morning first tracks begin at your doorstep.
Inside these grand residences, the scale continues to impress. Oversized picture windows frame the Wasatch Range like living art, while soaring ceilings—supported by hand-hewn timbers—create airy gathering spaces. Stone hearths anchor vast great rooms, and every finish reflects a commitment to lasting quality: reclaimed hardwood floors, custom-fitted ski lockers, and spa-inspired baths that rival any resort wellness center.
It's an environment that invites celebration and solitude, whether entertaining a group of friends after a day on the slopes or slipping away for a quiet moment beside the fire.
What truly sets The Colony apart is the sense of privacy and community in equal measure. As a Park City Realtor, I've watched buyers discover the peace of sunrise runs on their private trail, then converge at a neighbor's chalet for après ski.
The gated community and discreet architecture preserve the serenity, while world-class amenities meet every need. Guiding clients to The Colony is about unlocking a lifestyle built on freedom, prestige, and the simple joy of sharing special mountain moments with those who matter most.
Year-Round Retreat
Summer in The Colony is an outdoor lover's dream. Trails wind through pine forests and open meadows, perfect for biking or quiet walks. A short drive lands you on Park City's Main Street, where you can savor a craft cocktail or catch a live jazz set at a local venue.
The Colony's seclusion makes it a haven for executives and entrepreneurs seeking a Park City Real Estate retreat. At Derrik & Co., we know every trail and lot in this exclusive enclave and are ready to guide you to a ski home that redefines luxury. Want to live the Park City skiing dream in The Colony?

Bald Eagle Club: Premier Ski-In/Ski-Out Luxury
Gated Slope-Side Retreat
Nothing compares to the moment I introduce clients to the Bald Eagle Club—it's like handing them the keys to a private alpine paradise. As a Park City Realtor, I find this gated community's location within Deer Valley Resort captivating.
Spanning 126 acres, with over half dedicated to open space, Bald Eagle's ski homes offer ski-in/ski-out access via seven runs—Sunrise, Roamer, Rising Star, Kimberly—and three chairlifts. These estates, set on .5 to 1.2-acre lots, feature expansive windows and stone hearths, framing views of the Jordanelle Reservoir and Wasatch peaks.
Year-Round Fun
Summer in Bald Eagle invites hiking and biking along trails that weave through evergreen groves, with Silver Lake Village's restaurants and shops just a short stroll away. A quick drive offers access to Park City's Main Street to art galleries and live music venues, blending seclusion with connection.

Offering contemporary homes, built on lots from .22 to 8.48 acres, feature floor-to-ceiling windows, walnut cabinetry, and heated outdoor spaces with stone fire pits—perfect for après-ski gatherings.
