  Winter Storm Jonas hit the Mid-Atlantic hard and the Yeti Research Team was on it. A strategic strike up to their home mountain, Snowshoe West Virginia, was the proper call. Storm total was 36 inches and the crew took advantage of every moment. Check out the their video for more documentation.

Introducing the Yeti Research Explorer Series.  The Explorer Series, is an in-depth look with our Explorers and their adventures.  First, we head to the Great Dismal Swamp with Explorer Peter Squicciarini.  Enjoy!   After the holidays, Yeti Research Explorer, Peter Squicciarini aka @streeterpeter, was able to get back behind the lens and do what he does best....capture epic moments.  Pete is from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and currently resides in Norfolk.  His positive attitude and pursuit of new experiences and adventures is why we are stoked to have him apart of the Yeti Research family.   His first research mission...

This El Nino pattern has benefited the Western part of the US and has left the East Coast struggling so far this winter.  So when the opportunity presented itself, some members of the YRT decided to take a strategic strike to Colorado to get warmed up for the season.  Steve Mapp, Tawrad Anwar, & Carlo Checri all met in Denver and it was on from there.  They hit A-Basin and Keystone for quick couple days.  "I was stoked to get some of the crew back together.  Even though it would have been nice to have more time, it was just good...
