Meet Your Host, Tana

Hi! I'm Tana Hoffman Cook, the founder of ILLA, and I'm also a passionate backcountry snowboarder and snowmobiler! After years of exploring these mountains and helping hundreds of women discover new outdoor sports, I know firsthand how life-changing that first backcountry experience can be. The #1 goal of this day is to have a TON of fun, and I promise that you will! I'll be there to help coordinate the day, take plenty of photos, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported as they venture into new terrain.
