Everyone who claims that they have seen the Yeti or Sasquatch must have been to Mission Ridge, WA. The normally elusive creature of the forest and mountains can be found every day of the year standing proudly overlooking the ski resort.
The Yeti was created by local Wenatchee, WA artists who wanted to give their home a resort a gift to celebrate its 50th anniversary back in 2016. The three artists began working on the project in the Fall of 2016, and debuted the statue atop Mission Ridge prior to the 2019 season.
With the new Wenatchee Express at Mission Ridge recently opening up riders can now take a covered chair up to the top of the resort to find the Yeti sculpture.
During the summer seasons The Yeti is a brown/reddish colour making the statue stand out and look like Sasquatch, once winter rolls in the statue collects wind blown snow and ice making the figure look like a snow ghost found across many of the ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest.
