Hana Beaman

Hana Beaman is an American professional snowboarder who resides in Big Bear Lake, CA and Bellingham, WA. She has competed in snowboarding since 1978.[1]

Career

Since 2002, Beaman has consistently placed in the top 10 at international snowboard competitions such as the Winter X Games and Burton US Open and the Roxy Chicken Jam. She competes primarily in slopestyle events, where she has been working on adding 720's to her tricks.[1] In 2003 Hana got her first snowmobile and began filming with fellow snowboarder Travis Rice in and around Jackson Hole.[2] Since 2005 Hana has also turned her attention to backcountry snowboarding and filming, including Misschief Films, an all-girl film project and in 2011, a series of webisodes for Snowboarder Magazine.[3] The 2012 season was the first season Hana devoted entirely to filming and backcountry riding, not competing in a single competition. The time away from competitions has allowed her to focus her time in filming for the web series P.S...Webisodes.[2]

In 2014 Hana Beaman plans to make a push for the Sochi Winter Games.

Since 2007, Hana Beaman has been asked to be a Signature Session™ Pro at High Cascade Snowboard Camp each summer.[4] As a Signature Session Pro, Hana coaches young snowboarders and gives back to the sport.
