AESC Recreational Activities
61st Annual Meeting - 2018


We have arranged a number of group activities planned for you and your family during the AESC's 61st Annual Meeting at the Montage Resort in Deer Valley, Utah.  Additional registration for these events is necessary since there are extra costs associated with them.  In addition, we have listed a number of options that you can enjoy on your own or with friends from the Club.  For these "do it yourself" activities, we have provided basic information and vendor contacts.

CLICK HERE to sign up for the recreational events.

Our additional activities are sold out for pre-registration.  If you find your plans changing and want to see if there's space for certain events, check with Kathy Paul at the registration area at the meeting.  Some events are completely sold out:  Horseback Riding (Wednesday) and the ATV Off-road Adventure (Saturday).  The Club discount tickets at the Olympic Park are no longer available; however, you can purchase full-price tickets at the park if you wish.

Other Independent Things To Do in the Park City Area on Your Own

Following are some additional recreational options in the Park City area.  The AESC is not arranging any sort of groups for these alternatives, but here are some ideas and contact information.

Fly Fishing

 Utah is world-famous for the blue ribbon fly fishing offered up along the Provo, Green and Weber rivers.  Plan to spend about 4-5 for fly fishing in the Wasatch Mountains.  There are several outfitters in the Park City area... one is Park City Anglers.  Phone:  435-658-3474.  Compass Sports at the Montage also may have some recommendations.  Call guest relations at: (435) 604-1700

Park City Mountain and 
Main Street Park City

Summertime in Park City comes alive at Park City Mountain.  There are tons of activities from an alpine slide and coaster to zip lines, miniature golf and much more.  CLICK HERE for information.

Main Street is the center of historic Park City --  home to over 200 unique businesses and the trailhead to your mountain town adventure. Visitors can shop among over 100 independent boutiques, dine at 50 one-of-a-kind restaurants, and much more!

Hiking at Deer Valley

 Take in grand views of the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains as you enjoy a leisurely chairlift ride up Silver Lake Express from the base, Sterling Express at mid-mountain or Ruby Express at Empire Canyon. At the top, stretch your legs and explore one of the many hiking trails that wander through Deer Valley. Or simply enjoy the fresh, alpine air at the top before re-boarding the chairlift for your ride back down. Those hiking up the mountain can enjoy a complimentary chairlift ride down.  DETAILS HERE
