Mt. Washington was a great series opener!
You can't go wrong having a snowshoe race on a beautiful sunny day with a great course, lots of new snow and a perfect venue. Mt. Washington Yeti proved to be a challenging course due to the fresh snow and the elevation gain right off the start line. By the end of the first lap everyone was just getting warmed up and was ready for more. It was the perfect way to launch the season. To check out some of the pics of the event click here. Results now posted, click here to view.
We want to thank all the staff at Mt. Washington that were a part of the event, it was a great experience for all! To all of the volunteers, you really make the event what it is and to all the sponsors that believe in where this new sport is going. Thanks to everyone!
We would also like to thank our special guest Kiara Bisaro, Canada's own World Class and Olympic mountain biker, for coming out and giving the Yeti a try. Kiara now says that she is going to start using snowshoe running as a winter cross-train. Thanks again and good luck with your upcoming race season!

Yeti #2 at Whistler's Lost Lake
We have an amazing course set up for the Whistler race. We are going to be posting the course map later this week for you to download. Now you can get up there and do some pre-runs. We are going to have everyone park at Lot 4 (cross-country parking lot) and you will sign in and then shuttled to the start line at Lost Lake's Warming Hut. Shuttles will be running from 8:30am to 9:45am and then after the race from 11:00am to 12:30pm.

Special Thanks to PIONEER CHRYSLER!!!
We'd like to give Pioneer Chrysler a huge thanks for the new Yeti vans, well they're not Yeti vans, they're Dodge Caravans. Having an event you tend to have a lot of stuff you need to transport and these Dodge Caravan's have been awesome for getting our stuff from point A to point B! If you're thinking about getting into a new vehicle give the team at Pioneer Chrysler a call, they'll work hard to get you the best deal possible. For more information click here.
Let them know the Yeti sent you!
Thanks to all of you that have supported the Yeti through emails, the Yeti SnowTimes, clinics, drop-in nights and races! The Yeti is a great organization to help keep you active in the winter time, now get up to the mountains and have some fun!
