My name is Samaya Dunn de Pulido, born and raised in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where I grew up racing at Wolf Creek Ski Area before transitioning to freeride in middle school. Skiing has always been a cornerstone of my life, filling my childhood with joy and adventure, and I’m excited to give back to the freeride community that shaped me!

After high school, I discovered Sierra Nevada University and quickly fell in love with Tahoe. I graduated in 2025 with a Bachelor’s degree in Sustainability Studies. In 2022, I began coaching, and my passion for skiing combined with my love for the mountains made it an incredibly natural fit.

With her dedication, experience, and love for the sport, Samaya is an awesome fit for our ski team, and we’re thrilled to have her on board!
