The Yeti Gathering Is Coming to Oregon (First Time Ever on the West Coast)
For nearly 25 years, Yeti Gathering has been one of mountain biking's most beloved (and exclusive) traditions, and over the years, it’s only grown. What started as a season-ending shindig in Snowmass, Colorado, has grown into a full-blown celebration of everything that makes mountain biking special.
If you ride a Yeti, the annual Colorado Gathering is a must, but if you're not able to make the pilgrimage, the Regional Gatherings are the next best thing. This year, a Yeti Regional Gathering hits the West Coast for the first time ever, and is headed to Oakridge, Oregon, for what looks to be one hell of a weekend.

- Rides: 6 Shuttles / 2 each day

What Is The Yeti Gathering?
Yeti Cycles
The first Yeti Gathering was a rowdy weekend in Snowmass, CO, brought together by a shared love of Yeti Cycles and getting loose in the mountains. Decades later, that same spirit drives thousands of riders to gather each year to swap stories and ride some of the best trails in the country.
Can't make it to Colorado? Recently, Yeti has started bringing the party to you with Regional Gatherings that offer a smaller, more intimate version of the flagship event in Colorado. Get a sample of the same energy and community vibe, just a bit closer to home. Whether you're a longtime Yeti rider or just unboxed your first, you’re welcome to the Gathering.
Yeti Gathering: Oakridge, Oregon
Oakridge is often referred to as the ‘Mountain Bike Capital of the Northwest,’ and if you’ve ever been, it’s easy to understand why. The 2026 Yeti Gathering in Oakridge will be using the Westfir Lodge as the basecamp to spend the weekend shuttling along some of the most famous trails in the Pacific Northwest. Over three days, you’ll descend nearly 25,000 feet through ancient fir forests that offer some of the best loam terrain in the country.
Yeti Cycles
From Friday to Sunday, Yeti will run 2 shuttle rides per day to access the world-class trails without the need to slog up the climbs - although doable, it’s an undertaking. Saturday afternoon brings a full-blown backcountry epic, paid off with one massive descent, cashing in nearly 6,000 feet of descent by the time you’re kicking the feet up at the lodge for the final party.
