Hana Beaman is an icon of snowboarding. Her more than twenty-year career and journey from contest-focused Southern Californian to globally traveled and backcountry-experienced veteran reflects not only her ability to evolve with a constantly pivoting snowboard community, but also her passion to push the boundaries of what a professional athlete is capable of after years of industry ups and downs, travel miles, and heavy bails.
This season, Hana put her mark on the Viaje Range Edition, the absolute outer rim and frontline of progressive snowboard boots for women. Designed to support overland adventures and uphill travel, the Range Edition’s Adaptive Range Mode features a Range Limiter and Rear Drop Cuff which can be unlocked to widen the top opening of the boot for a significantly expanded range of motion. Skinning a switchback, punching up for quick pow scores, ripping the snowmobile deep into the hills, or just going for a good old-fashioned hike, the Viaje Range Edition X Hana Beaman Snowboard Boot gets you there with less effort and more versatility than ever before.
