Executive Board
Our leadership team. The staff behind the stoke.
Carlos Santana
President
Carlos (he/him) is a Pomona senior from Miami, Florida. Growing up in tropical South Florida, he only started skiing once he got to SoCal. He fell in love as soon as his skis hit the snow and he wants to widely share this experience with others who’ve never had the chance. Reach out to him about inclusion and accessibility in skiing/snowboarding!

Carolyn Coyne
Creative director
Carolyn (she/her) is a Pomona senior from New Jersey. Yes, you read that right. The Armpit of America. When she’s not defending her home state (that’s ironic), she’s working to find ways to spread the ski and snowboard cheer loud and clear. Although she learned how to ski her freshman year (on a mixture of dirt and ice in dirty jerz), Carolyn absolutely loves the mountain and getting sendy with the team. Catch her taking lots of photos, playing field hockey, and drinking milk at every meal (strong bones, am I right). Ask her about how to get involved and if you’re brave, how to do the clock.

Catch him skateboarding or surfing, driving to Los Angeles, or working in Poppa Lab. Reach out about your 5cSki experience and ask him what changes are being made to improve the club.
