Yeti Gathering - Kingdom Trails
2025-09-05 08:00 - 2025-09-07 17:00 | East Burke, Vermont
Yeti Gathering is a long-running tradition that began nearly 25 years ago. Beginning as a race season-ending party first held at Snowmass, CO, the Yeti Gatherings have become one of the most special traditions of Yeti Cycles, and a way to honor our Roots and Yeti Freaks.
For those who bleed Turq, the Colorado Gathering is an annual pilgrimage to share and honor our love for mountain biking, friends, family, revelry, and the great outdoors. We’ve come a long way from that first rowdy weekend in Snowmass, but the sentiment remains the same.
New for 2025, we’re taking the Yeti stoke on the road with our Regional Gatherings! Smaller, more intimate but just as epic, our Regional Gatherings are a reflection of our ever-growing Yeti Freak family.
Whether you’re a life-long ‘Freak’ or you just bought your first Yeti, it doesn’t matter –you’re invited and encouraged to join. There’s only one rule: you need to show up on a Yeti. Come meet the people behind the bikes, make long-lasting memories, and experience the ultimate MTB weekend. Time to let loose and let your Yeti ‘Freak’ flag fly.
Check out the website and register for this season’s Kingdom Trails Yeti gathering!
