Yeti Gathering Vermont 2026
New Year, Same Dirt.
If it’s nice, ride it twice. Vermont – we’re coming back!
Returning to the epic Kingdom Trails of East Burke, we’ll enjoy killer singletrack, good vibes and all the Yeti stoke you can handle. We’ve moved the dates slightly later this year, right as Vermont hits full fall color. We’ll be back at the beautiful Wildflower Inn – a ranch with easy access to the best trails. We will also have the option for a small number of RV’s and van camping. Folks with their own lodging are welcome too, of course – just choose the ‘No Accommodation’ ticket to join the fun each day then head home.
From Friday to Sunday, there will be three opportunities to ride with other Yeti Freaks and Yeti staff. On Friday, we’ll ride through the maple forest to link up fast, flowing trails to get you warmed up. Once you’ve had your fill, join us back at the Wildflower Inn for local craft beers and great food.
Saturday’s the big day. We’ve got two ride options lined up – Intermediate and Advanced. Both routes share most of the same epic trails, showcasing the best of Kingdom Trails.
For those tackling the advanced loop, you’ll dig deep for one last climb to earn your turns. But trust us, the payoff is worth it – a mind-blowing route all the way back to the Wildflower, where the party’s waiting to kick off.
Yeti has partnered with H+I Adventures, MTB travel and events experts, to bring these incredible Yeti Gatherings to life.
What is the Yeti Gathering?
You’re a mountain biker. We’re mountain bikers. Let’s celebrate this.
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.
Now we’re taking the stoke on the road with our Regional Gatherings. Smaller and 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.
Vermont, what makes you special?
For this Regional Gathering, we’ve tweaked the recipe of the long established ‘Colorado Gathering’ format to give Yeti Freaks in the Northeast a more intimate and unique experience. This multi-day adventure will be smaller scale, and more ‘on the grid’ than the Colorado Gatherings. Mark your calendars and join us for some top-tier New England singletrack. Think verdant hills, fresh dirt, and some of the finest beer in the country.
We’ll settle in at a beautiful lodge, bar and restaurant in the East Burke countryside, with the iconic Kingdom Trails running in and out of the grounds. We’ve got some killer rides planned that you won’t want to miss.
All lodging and food is included, so all you have to do is round up your fellow Yeti Freaks, book your place and roll up ready for an unforgettable weekend.
Note: if you’re local to East Burke and do not require a room at the Wildflower Inn, there is a package excluding accommodation.
