Can hops get freezer burned?

So I have too much hops in the freezer and I don't have a seal-a-meal so I usually just put them in zip-locks... So I took out some Fuggle this morning and the outside of the bag had that frosty freeezer burned smell but inside they still smelled like fuggle... I realize the alpha drops after x-period of time but does anyone have experience with freezer burn and what is the best way to store those little expensive jewels so they last (give me a low tech answer please)

Thanks!

I use zip bags and even after two years, the aroma and flavor oils are okay.

I use a pump n seal with mason jars to store my hops. the website looks a bit over the top, but it does work decently.

I recently purchased a food saver though, and will likely use both for different purposes.

Wow, they still sell that thing? I remember those infomercials from 10 years ago!

Haha. Yup, I bought it about 3 years ago before I could afford a foodsaver, and it works well enough for the mason jars for storing the hops. I still use it, actually because I don't want to waste the food saver bags with the hops when I can just reuse the mason jars.
