Confident, adult and purposeful person. In the eyes - a bright light. This happens in people who live in line with their principles and know what they want. Dreams of his freeride resort, about the team. He wants young and talented riders to have the opportunity to train and perform. And do not think about anything. Anya, do you dream of living in the mountains?

A house in the mountains is not a dream. These are plans! In Siberia. I usually want something simple. So that everything is good for my loved ones, friends. This is what does not always depend on me. And if I want something, then I try to go to this. And not just dream ... active, honest, straight. Sometimes what he thinks without abysses. But Anya is not without a cunning.

From the moment I returned to the skiing, it began to look relaxed and natural. For her, skiing is a purpose. Ani's story began in Moscow. She was born and raised in a sports family, all members of which were skiing, loved to go to the mountains, where they took a little Anya with them. At the age of 6, my parents gave me to the ski section. We just moved to Krylatskoye then.

And 7 years, I was engaged in varying success, but to be honest, without much zeal. I then could not imagine, of course, that at a conscious age I would love skiing and everything connected with them! The successes I had average, but in my section I was the best. When I became a little older, we began to go to the training camp. I performed in a giant. At some point, as is usually the case, the question stood up: either school or sports.

Since Anya did not show any successes, and due to fees she missed a lot of classes, the family council decided to make a choice in favor of education. At first there was a Moscow Chemical Lyceum, then Moscow State University. At that moment, the skis smoothly left my life. Of course, I did not want to go out onto the slope and just ride. Any athlete will understand this. But I always loved the mountains.

The first time I got into the mountains at the age of two or three years. My parents took me with them to the Crimea and the Caucasus, and when I became a little older, then to Pamir. Therefore, when the skis ceased to occupy all my free time, mountaineering organically took their place. In the last classes of the school and at the institute, I went to the training camp with the guys.

Of course, they didn’t like the girls there, but I got a lot of skills that came in handy in the future: reading the relief, working with ropes and all sorts of other things that are useful for skiing outside the tracks. So, at first engaged in skiing, and then with mountaineering, Anya came to the moment when a new sport - snowboarding began to gain popularity in our country.

At the very beginning, the number of ski snowboards grew exposed to geometric progression. And besides the beginners who immediately got on the board, there were many who switched to a snowboard from mountain skis. And Anya, by the will of fate, was among them. Snowboard captured. It was something new, unusual, interesting. And besides this, it was pleasant to ride the virgin lands on the target on the snowboard.

And at that moment I was captured not only by Snowboard, but also by the opportunity to compete. In childhood, when I was engaged in skiing, I did not have sports anger, motivation. It was all the same. For this, by the way, they scolded me ... And in adulthood it came: I wanted to participate, win, prove something. As a result, I took part in the four stages of the Russian Cup in Freiraid, but all the times I was the sixth.

It was very annoyed, but I could not do anything about it. Carried away by the story of the sports component, we do not forget that there is still an institute, work. In the year, Anya graduated from Moscow State University with a red diploma! And I wanted to ride more and more. And it became more difficult to combine work and constant trips. The next year after graduation, she entered the school of SnowPro instructors.

It was a good option that made it possible to combine work and skating. At some point, I decided to leave official work with papers, hiking in the office and so on and completely focus on work by the instructor. It was a serious step for me. It is not so simple to go beyond the usual, established rhythm of life: to exist without a work book or pension deductions. Not only for me, but also for my loved ones.

Of course, there was uncertainty, some kind of uncertainty ... But this did not frighten. Here I must say that I have excellent parents, they always helped me a lot and supported this time.They have a very important feature: even if they cannot approve me, then they do not bother me. And they always support me. They are always with me. And this is very important.

Thus, the SnowPro school helped to resolve many issues for a while. Anya worked a lot: she liked to teach people something new, to introduce them to a snowboarding, show interesting places ... But at some point, the realization that her personal level was not growing. She traveled a lot with the students: both in Russia and abroad. But you also get tired of such a rich life ...

Especially if you come to the mountains, you cannot ride yourself. In addition, many people notice that if you work for a long time as an instructor, aggression disappears in skating: you start to ride carefully. This is exactly what happened. And here, as if realizing that she was at a dead end, Anya again turned her attention to the skiing. In the first half of the 10ths, wide skis for freeride began to appear, interesting riders came forward on the world stage.

And once, Anya decided to try to ride ...

She began to notice that she rides more and more skiers along the virgin lands. And rides good. Going down several times, she remembered everything. Of course, the equipment was outdated, it was necessary to adapt to new equipment. But Anya quickly got involved: for a whole year she drove with herself a snowboard and skis. She taught snowboarding, skiing in her free time. After I realized that there was no getting away from the skis, she graduated from the courses of the ski instructor and began to train skiing.

Then for me, who had just mastered the new technique of skiing in the snow, the performances of Veronika Sorokina, for example, seemed to be something sky-high. But I really wanted to try. And I began to try. And Vanya, in turn, motivated me, pushed me, explained ... I got involved. And, I can say honestly, I like not only the freeride on skiing. I like both jumping and jibbing.

And if at first my performances at the competitions were not very successful on skiing, then the next year I won three starts in Russia: Polyana, Kirovsk and Sheraesh. And since the year, Anina Career began to develop rapidly.
