Holden Samuels

Holden Samuels discovered freeride snowboarding after his family relocated to Big Sky, where he quickly became part of the local freeride scene. He earned his first Freeride World Tour qualification in 2023 and has since established himself as a consistent and competitive presence on the circuit.

After a strong 2025 season, where he secured two podiums and finished 6th overall, Holden carried that momentum into 2026 with a standout 3rd place result in Baqueira Beret. However, a difficult mid-season stretch meant he narrowly missed the Cut to remain on Tour. He responded quickly in the Challenger circuit, delivering two podium finishes to requalify for the 2027 Freeride World Tour, setting himself up for a return to the top level.
