About Anika Carlson

Hello beautiful people! Hola gente hermosa! I am a Colorado native with a passion for teaching and playing in the snow. I have been snowboarding since I was 6, and spent most of my childhood in the mountains of the western slope. Since then, I have traveled around the world and back, and there is no place I’d rather spend my winter than right here with you! It is my goal to make sure your experience on the hill is unforgettable. Whether it’s your first time or you’re looking to take your skills to the next level, I am here to help. I believe that we learn best when we are having fun! Si prefiere un instructor que hable español, ¡estoy feliz de ser tuya!

Anika was very patient and gave us clear explanations the entire time. She took the time to make sure each of us could progress according to our own ability, and she was always very enthusiastic. Personally, I truly appreciate her guidance and support in helping me go down the hill and learn how to do it safely. I loved the experience and will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

She was very energetic and supportive when it came to clear directions for our boys being first time learners of skiing. Our boys left feeling better about skiing and wanting to come back next year to learn and continue to grow. On the way home both boys kept saying Anika was the nicest instructor and that they loved that she gave them the choice at the end to do something fun for doing so well at lessons! Thank you again for such a great experience, we will definitely be returning next year!

Anika is so patient to encourage my kid to try the ski, although this is Charlie’s first time and he is scared and reluctant to learn..but Anika is positive and full of energy.

Anika was amazing! Very patient with our talkative 3 yo, while providing lots of cues to improve her skiing in a fun way. We can’t wait to bring her back!

Anika was great with our daughter Nora and we were so happy to get her on skis for the first time. We even had some time that my wife and I were able to learn something new for ourselves. We will be back for more lessons with our family soon.

Anika was so patient and supportive with Andrew and Arya. She cheered Arya on when she saw her practicing after the lesson, and she challenged Andrew to take his skills to the next level. They both loved working with her! (If it doesn’t come through in my phone, Anika’s rating from us should reflect 100% satisfaction.)
