Breakfast and Conversation - Cloudveil Hotel

We start the morning with a continental breakfast, followed by a powerful series of conversations on leadership in sport and what it truly takes to develop better coaches. From SPKN’s impact and vision, to coaching girls with intention, to battle-tested principles of elite leadership, the morning is designed to challenge and equip every leader in the room.
Choose Your Adventure
1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
In the afternoon, you’ll “Choose Your Adventure” with a curated set of mountain experiences, whether that’s a hike, North America’s steepest zip line, or pistol safety and fundamentals. Small-group experiences are led by elite practitioners who use the outdoors as a living classroom for focus, decision-making, teamwork, and the kind of calm, prepared leadership today’s coaches need.
SnowKing Mountain Hike
Zip-Line
Pistol Shooting & Instruction (FULL)
Seated Dinner - Aurora Restaurant, Snow King Mountain
Attire: Best Western (Jeans, Boots, & Hats are Encouraged)
5:30 pM - 9:30 pm
Ride the gondola to the summit of Snow King Mountain for an elevated, seated dinner at Aurora Restaurant, with sweeping views that match the ambition of the conversations in the room. As evening falls, we’ll gather for a seated dinner at a mountaintop restaurant, where everything—long tables, shared dishes, and unhurried conversation—is designed to honor one central theme: family. Framed by sweeping Jackson Hole views, Jay Harbaugh will speak about the importance of proper athlete development before sitting down with John, Jim, and Jack Harbaugh to offer an exclusive Chalk Talk on what it was like to grow up in the Harbaugh household—and why faith, values, and family remain the foundation of their coaching and leadership today.
I cannot attend the event but would love to support SPKN's Mission
