Ep. 663: Avalanche Safety Expert - Brian Lazar

Backcountry Skiing, Avalanche Education: Brian Lazar on 20+ Years Snow and Avalanche Expertise – Colorado Backcountry Start, AIARE Executive Director, CAIC Deputy Director Since 2010, Snow/Ice Mechanics Research in Alaska Chugach, Climate Change Snowpack Consulting.

While Mason is still out on the road finishing up the coast-to-coast bike adventure, previous Adventure Sports Podcast host, Curt Linville, will take over again today.


Brian has been working in the field of snow and avalanches for the last couple decades. He began backcountry skiing in Colorado as a college student, and later as a mountain guide; and as an avalanche educator, curriculum developer, and as former Executive Director with the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE), and member of the American Avalanche Association Education Committee.


After a decade or so of guiding and teaching in a variety of snow climates on both sides of the equator, Brian returned to graduate school where he earned a MS in Engineering, studying snow and ice mechanics in Alaska’s Chugach, and conducting research at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.


He worked for many years as a consultant to the ski industry, investigating snowpack runoff and potential changes to seasonal snowpacks as a result of climate change. Brian has been the Deputy Director of the CAIC since 2010.


In the summers, you can find Brian complaining about the heat, planning his next trip to the snow, and trying to keep up with his wife Michelle on mountain bikes.
