Talk Yeti To Me

Durango holds a special place in Yeti’s heritage, so it’s fitting that the resurrection and return of the event should be in Durango as well. In this special episode of TYTM, Marty scours the Gathering campsite and trails to talk with the characters that make the Yeti Gathering such a one-of-a-kind event. It was truly an epically fun weekend of riding and hanging and we were so stoked to be able to welcome all that attended to Durango.

Meet Marty Schaffer. Legendary Yeti member. Canadian as a denim tuxedo. Part skier. Part biker. Full on adrenaline-junkie. Marty's the man behind the curtain and the voice in your ear. Listen in to find out a bit more about the man, myth and legend who will guide you through Talk Yeti To Me.

Here at Yeti we affectionately call our engineering team, the Nerds. In this episode of TYTM Marty sits down with the biggest nerd of them all to bring you the inside story of how the beautiful mind of Stretch (aka Peter Zawistowski, Yeti’s Director of Engineering) and his team of bike nerds were able to create Yeti’s first e-MTB. Also sitting in on this party is Rocket (Ryan Thornberry), our Bike Product Manager, who is responsible for making sure that the designs that comes out of Stretch’s head actually gets delivered to you, in a form of a real bike.

Strap on your school helmet’s folks. It’s about to nerdy.

Local front-range Colorado ambassador, Britt Greer, loves coaching. And that’s a significant understatement. Her passion and love for the sport seeps through every part of her day, the half dozen organizations she supports and the dozens of women she coaches and mentors. In this episode of TYTM, Marty and Britt discuss her passion for bringing mountain bikes to underserved communities, where coaching has lead her and the multitude of great “Front Country” (thanks, Marty) trails to learn on.

Kasper Woolley busted onto the mountain bike scene last year beating some of the biggest names in Enduro racing, and to us, that’s not a surprise. Woolley’s bred from a pedigree of fast (his dad was on the National Ski Team) and Kasper competitively raced on the cold white stuff for years before focusing on biking. Who said the multi sport athlete is dead? We didn’t. In this episode Marty and Kasper talk everything from bike setup, skiing and how Kasper has always been fighting more than just the clock.
