OSSA Program

The OSSA Avalanche Program is designed with three main objectives.

Objective 1 - "Get the training"

Objective 2 - "Get the Gear"

Objective 3 - "Get the forecast"

This year OSSA will provide the clubs with a rescue training class and an Avalanche basics class. In addition we will be working with A3 certified avalanche professionals coordinating courses throughout Oregon. To get / coordinate club training for avalanche basics or basic rescue email: snow.monger@icloud.com.
