The Mountaineers
Mountaineers members have access to a range of events, opportunities, and discounts to help give the best gifts this holiday season. Whether you're shopping for gear, experiences, or simply good deals, we've got something for everyone on your list, including yourself!
Score great Deals at our Holiday Gear Grab
There’s no bad weather, only bad gear. Get outfitted for your next adventure at our Holiday Gear Grab, taking place on December 15. Open to members and non-members, this event is a fun and festive way to shop sustainably and find great gear at a cheap price!
Inspire adventure with a Gift Membership
A Mountaineers membership is one way to say “get out there and have fun!” Your loved one can activate their one-year membership whenever it makes the most sense for them. They’ll be able to access free activities; member rates on courses, events, and lodge stays; discounts on Mountaineers Books; and deals on gear and travel. Save 25% on Gift Memberships from now until December 31. Valid for new members only.
Unbox adventure with a LImited-edition Mountaineers Books Holiday Box
Available through December 10, our five Holiday Boxes — Family Fun, Campfire Stories, Watercolors of the West, Woodland Wonders, and Northwest Roots — are packed with hand-picked, themed book collections, all beautifully tucked inside a festive, ready-to-gift box.
Experience the stoke at Banff Mountain Film Festival
Stuff a stocking with tickets to one or both screenings at Benaroya Hall in Seattle on January 14 & 15. This is our most well-attended event for good reason! You’ll be inspired by award-winning short films alongside Mountaineers from around the region and maybe even get lucky with a prize giveaway. Each night has a unique playlist, so come for one or both. Check out our VIP tickets that include bonus treats to give your loved one the elevated treatment.
Shop the sale at our independent bookstore
Our Bookstore at Magnuson Park in Northeast Seattle has adventure stories, guidebooks galore, Mountaineers swag, a new children’s section, and other gifts specially curated for our community. From December 1 until December 31, members and non-members alike receive 25% off books, 35% off book bundles, 40% off merchandise, and 50% off our ‘seconds’ shelf. You can even use your visit to pick up your maps, Discover Pass, Northwest Forest Service Pass, or Sno-Park Permit! Check our website for holiday season hours.
Expand your Leadership skills
Give the gift of learning with our Leadership Development Series season pass. For a limited time you or a loved one can get access to upcoming Leadership Development Series seminars at a fraction of the cost. The pass includes 15 seminars at $50 for members and $150 for guests.
Treat Yourself with ongoing member discounts
As a Mountaineers member, you get exclusive access to year-round deals and discounts through local companies and brands. Most deals are for members only; if you’re shopping for friends and family, make sure to look carefully at the terms to avoid jeopardizing your member discount. Recent additions include deals at Alpine Training Project, OuterU, Rocky Talkies, and Rainier Watch Supply Co.
Take the Giving Spirit further by Giving Back
Help others get outside
This holiday season, consider gifting outdoor education and adventure to other members of our community. Our Mountaineers Access Program scholarship helps youth and adults discover the joys of the outdoors regardless of ability to pay.
Reduce tech barriers
The Mountaineers partners with local nonprofits to sustainably recycle our old laptops or refurbish them for continued use in other community-oriented programs. If you have electronics in working order that you’d like to donate, bring them to the Seattle Program Center.
help steward public lands
The natural world is the foundation of our community and makes our transformative outdoor experiences possible. Give back to the lands you love by registering for a stewardship activity.
Wrap Up the Year with Gratitude
Whether you’re gifting a book, sharing a film night, or supporting scholarships, every action strengthens our community of outdoor enthusiasts and stewards. Together, we can celebrate the season by inspiring adventure, connection, and care for the places we love.
