Look Out For Yetis on the slopes

These images from the Department of Yetiology and the Canadian Ski Patrol System were warning back in the 1960s. The various cartoon images showed typical Yetis to look out for.

The Official Yetiologist's Gude by Alan Beaney, illustrations by Wicks.





If you spot one of these characters, it's best to report to your local Ski Patroller, don't approach by yourself.
