The Mazamas is excited to partner with Wylark Mountaineering to offer AIARE 1, the industry standard in avalanche education. Two trusted names in Northwest mountain education have teamed up to bring this nationally recognized certification to Mazama members and the community.

The 24-hour course unfolds over three days: 8 hours of self-paced online coursework, followed by 16 hours of hands-on field training with your instructor team. You'll stay at the rustic Mazama Lodge on Mt. Hood for the weekend, with time between field sessions to plan tours by the fire with a hot chocolate in hand. Two nights of lodging and most meals are included, so you can focus on the material, dig into debriefs, and connect with your cohort. Avalanche equipment loans are provided at no extra cost.

This course is designed for snowshoers and winter mountaineers who want to build real competence in avalanche terrain before heading out this season. Skiers and splitboarders can check out our course in February! What you'll walk away with:

• Skills to plan and execute a safe backcountry outing, from trip prep to trailhead
• Practical, field-tested decision-making frameworks for navigating avalanche terrain
• Hands-on companion rescue training

• Online curriculum access
• 2 days of field instruction
• AIARE Field Book
• 2 nights overnight lodging at the Mazama Lodge (Friday + Saturday night)
• 2 Breakfast and coffee (Saturday + Sunday)
• 1 Dinner (Saturday)
• Optional gear loan: transceiver, shovel, probe

Note: Price does not include lunch, snacks, or personal gear such as skis or snowshoes. Participants should plan to bring their own bedding (sleeping bags, etc.) for an overnight stay at the lodge.

There are no prerequisites to taking the AIARE 1. We ask participants to be familiar with their gear and able to effectively manage movement in their preferred mode of travel.

See Wylark Mountaineering’s Course Information page for more details.
