A salute to the hard work of our photo crew, with images seen and unseen from 2013.
GREEN RIVER, UTNot technically a photo from 2013, but wanted to share a different perspective from the Green River, UT session that produced the 5th most viewed image on Pinkbike (
https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/9186709/) and graces the cover of this year's PB calendar.

JACKSON HOLE Favorite shot from our trip to Jackson Hole. A Lack of rain and summer heat made for roosty conditions. Van Dine enveloped in dust on one of the many trails leading off Teton Pass.

The trail crew, Teton Freedom Riders, has done some serious work up in Jackson. One of the few places in North America where purpose built trails are being built.

There are two sides to every summit. Here Joey rips down the other side of Teton Pass into Idaho.

Not everything is within a shuttle off the pass. “CVD” pedaled his DH rig up some vertical in the early morning to capture this shot with the light peeking through.

This got published in the SNAP section DIRT magazine this year, but thought we’d share it again.

WHISTLER The Enduro World Series garnered huge interest in its first year, and perhaps the run of year from our own Jared Graves as he dominated at Whistler.

Top of the world, Whistler BC. Our in-house enduro shredder teamed up up with Jared this year for the North American races.

It was not all high alpine glory shots for the Whistler enduro. Much of the work was done in the woods.

EUROPE Not to be outdone by our enduro team, Richie Rude became Junior World Champion. Shown here keeping upright in the mud of Leogang, Austria.

Dude is not subtle on a bike. If Richie can't break it, bend it, or shred it - no one can. Mashing at the Leogang World Cup.

When the first images started to appear from the early rounds of the EWS, I think every rider in the world was jealous. Jared finished second overall in the Enduro World Series cementing his place as one the best all around riders ever.

COLORADO Stretching the definition of a “lunch ride”. Joey at the peak of Lenawee trail, 40 minutes from the office.

The Lenawee trail unfolds on the rugged backside of A-Basin and opens up to expansive views of the White River National Forest.

An afternoon session on our local trails turned into a competition to see who could push the SB66 to the limits.
Rider: Chris Heath

“Heath” raced in the pro ranks before becoming a full-time employee at Yeti. Now the interoffice competition has sparked his competitive streak again. Serious winter training for the North American enduros...

When the trails freeze over on the Colorado front range and high country it is time to head west. In this case to the high-desert of Fruita.
Rider: Joey Schusler

Empty trails, moderate temps, and good light attract more than a few photogs to Fruita in the winter months.

As the light fades on another year thoughts shift to new opportunities and trips for 2014.

The life of the Yeti media crew is not all popping light and singletrack. It can be fun, but usually it is long days fighting the weather to get one shot or a few seconds of footage. Shown here in the fall camping at 10,000 feet high in the San Juan mountains. All that work just to be at the right spot for first light. Look for the San Juan’s “Feature” in spring/summer 2014.

No need to resort to name calling, thats something buffoons do
and people, start buying sb66's again so yeti can keep producing them!
trust me
You are not a connoisseur of bikes unless you know and respect Yeti and their contributions to bettering the sport of mountain biking.
Great company, great history, great bikes.
I don't need to own one of their bikes appreciate the mighty yellow and blue.
