Karla Ann short bio

Karla Ann first joined the cast of Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail in 2017. The Vernon, British Columbia native has a deep Yukon connection thanks to her great-grandfather, who was actually one of the first miners.

Talking to Discovery about her family history, Karla Ann said, “He came from Sweden, late 1800s, early 1900s.. and in his diary he had one shoe, and like nothing. "[He] staked a claim and found gold and raised his family here. I'm quite inspired by that."

She has traveled as far as Guyana with the crew, where they mined gold in Marudi.  When she's not on the show or exploring wilderness, you can find Karla Ann snowboarding.  She is a member of the Canadian Ski Guide Association.

Fans have been pairing Karla with her new mining boss, Rick Ness. But they are definitely not dating. Ness cleared the rumors once and for all in early January 2019 when he revealed that Karla is the sister he never had. They seem pretty close on the show and Karla frequently posts Ness' photos on her Instagram. But they are definitely just friends.
