What is yeticon

>>10857164
Yeticon is a vacation village/pool resort con!
Its hosted in Blue Mountains, Ontario. Its a really fun con that is more of a "party con" with 4 hotels to choose from and summer houses to rent. Its known for its abondance of bikini/swimsuit cosplay and more adult-oriented party events. Its overall a super fun con and just like a vacation! Sadly ownership of the pool resort has changed and the new owners of the venue are greedy and jacked up the prices to make it unaffordable for the con and imposed tons of nonsense rules. So this year's edition is smaller but in hopes of convincing the resort owners that the con can bring the resort money and be good and hopefully have more freedom the next edition like the con is supposed to have

Canada's knockoff of Colossalcon

>>10857318
are there no other resorts in the province?

>>10857323
Is the vibe and people better than colossal?

>>10856898
I might if I can live off of cad 1k for 3 days.

>>10857323
Colossalcon is inside. Yeticon is outside in nature. Very different desu. Colossal is a water park while this is nature and pools

>>10857328
Im not sure... Canada is a cold country so each province kinda has one resort village thats more known than the others or the only one. Idk how complicated it could be to move it or get another resort to want to host it.

>>10857376
Anon??? Living off 1kcad for 3 days is plenty enough?? What kind of big spender are you lmfao

>>10857334
I've never been to colossal (its on the bucket list tho) but from pictures it looks like colossal has more weird hamplanets and socially awkward autists while yeticon is more full of hot model-tier cosplayers and young adults who want to party

>>10857399
>each province kinda has one resort village thats more known than the others or the only one.
this is bullshit
>>10857400
no.

>>10857402
If it's bullshit then whats the resort situation in canada if you know so much?

Also why no? You got any good pics of colossal? Seriously all the one posted this year were ugly and fat people with maybe 5 hot people total only attending the con

>>10857399
>What kind of big spender are you lmfao
I might sound insane but I view myself as a miser. I rarely spend and it might be the reason why I view 1k to be not enough.
Not that I have plans to go far north. I still have to get a car.

>>10856898
It feels too early for this thread, but it's nice to see someone excited for the con.
Though I have a suspition this will be the last year. The venue has really fucked them over, and it probably isn't worth it anymore.
We're going to hang out in hotel rooms and see frens. The actual events look even more sparse than normal, and that's saying something.

>>10857328
Probably a few. The issues are: weebs need to be able to get to it, and afford it. And the resort needs to be willing to put up with weebs. AFAIK Yeti only happened because one of the former owner's kids thought it would be fun to put a con together on the resort. For the most part it worked out very well.. until ownership changed.
So unless somebody has a similar in at another con, I don't really see it happening.
And convincing a waterpark to allow degenerates is also hard. Great Wolf Lodge would be a wicked con location, but it won't happen because they have a family-friendly image, and they won't sacrifice it for weeb-bux.

>>10857407
are you actually in canada? you don't sound like it. there are almost 500 resorts and lodges in ontario alone and about 50 big ones capable of hosting a con. yeticon is absolute shit and comparing it to colossal, especially when you said it's a "nature con" is retarded.

>>10857975
I am in canada, just in ontario. Not everyone is a toronto mans.

Also I only compared it to colossal because some retard decided to compare it to colossal. Yeticon is its own thing, as most cons are, which arent really comparable.

>>10857980
Just not * fml shame of double posting

how many people are actually getting passes? I'm pretty sure a good half of the people I know who are going are just going to party and hang out with friends

>>10857967
Oops I was excited and despite it being still in a little over 2 weeks, I still felt like the con was in 2 weeks when I made the thread lol
And yeah.. its going to be more of a hangout I GUESS
I just want the weather to be GOOD so I can actually experience the con well unlike last year >~<
>>10858051
I sure hope people ARE getting con passes... theyre cheap and supports them to be alive next year again. I dont care for the "play all day" pass as it gives no money for the con whatsoever and the place I booked has its own pool anyways.

>>10859055
>I sure hope people ARE getting con passes... theyre cheap and supports them to be alive next year again
Nah. I want to see this con fall fail. I'll be lobby conning and also destroying Blue Mountain property.

>>10857318
A venue known for swimsuit cosplays, where management hates the attendees, and will do everything they can to make them miserable.
So, basically it's Canada's Colossalcon East.
I don't know much about Yeticon, but the chances they'll "give more freedom" in the future are probably zero. It's clear that they don't really want the convention there, but they'll have it so they can make money as long as they can keep attendees on a tight leash.

>>10859055
>I just want the weather to be GOOD so I can actually experience the con well unlike last year >~<
Same. A bunch of my friends have some unoffical programming planned for us, but the only official thing I've heard them discuss was the rave at one of the bars. And even that is in question since another one may be throwing a non-approved rave elsewhere.

>>10859691
Btw the bar rave is unofficial, the con promoted it but did say it is unofficial.
I was hyped about the rave at the bar at first but I looked at the venue, the fact you have to pay to get in, and the fact its deffo not gonna be an anime dj, and im less keen on it now.

Theres also gonna be music outside on saturday I think, from the same people who do the AN truck rave, but it'll be during the day

Whats those other unofficial things you've heard of?

In 10 days now omg

is this shit actually anything like colossalcon? Are there just parties happening everywhere or do you actually have to know people? Are the parties good? If everyone is dead by 2am, it's trash.

>>10860143
>is this shit actually anything like colossalcon?
In the sense that it's a convention at a resort, where I plan on being mildly intoxicated the whole time? Yes.
Otherwise: absolutely not.
>Are there just parties happening everywhere or do you actually have to know people?
Know people.
>Are the parties good?
Ours will be, but we generally don't invite randoms.
>If everyone is dead by 2am, it's trash.
Most people have wound down by 2-3, in my experience, but most of our crowd are in their 30s.

>>10860143
Dude, cosplayers don't usually party past 3am , we have to actually not be a zombie when getting into cosplay the next morning

Also theres also tons of 19-25 yos idk what 30yo dude is on about, but definitely no minors or little to none since the con is known for being mostly adult only

>>10856898
Damn /cgl/ really doesn't give a shit about yeticon when it's in 2 days lmao.

>>10861362
It's a small con in the middle of no where Ontario, on one of the slowest boards on 4ch. Use your fucking brain.

So what is there to do other than fucking around the resort in cosplay?
What are the actual events?

>>10861680
https://www.yeticon.org/get-passes

No traditional programming. It's basically a vacation at a resort

>>10861680
It's nice outside bro

Canada's most overrated con is back. The con that pretends to be a con when it is just a bunch of fake nerds having an excuse to get drunk

Bump

>>10861732
As long as they look sexy in cosplay, there's no problem

>>10861787
anachans are so disgusting

>>10861788
I see enough thots running around at cons. A con like this is pointless

>>10861806
So what? Being a thot at con is fun. I love being eye candy. Just look but don't touch.

>>10862039
I want to also touch

>>10862039

>>10862060
I dont have one retard

Came from across the border, didn’t know it was only party con if you know people or were staying in the village. Didn’t expect the con crowd to feel super clique-y with everyone already friends with each other and not in cosplay so we couldn’t really approach anyone easily.

Might make it out next year with more cosplays to shoot and a better game plan but didn’t have an “amazing” time compared to others seems like.

>>10862230
that's because this con is a circlejerk. it's known locally as a shit con at a mediocre resort.

>>10862230
Is it usually party con with randoms in the US?

>>10862260
Is it really? I hear so many people shit on Anime North and that Yeticon is the best con here.

>>10862261
Not randoms per say but it’s at least way more easier to meet up with people who are open to making new friends. I realized Canadians are not huge on facebook groups which a lot of cons in the US do to get to know people who are attending.

>>10862260
>it's known locally as a shit con at a mediocre resort.

best part is even though most seem to know that, they all pretend it is the best convention to ever grace North America

>>10862230
>Didn’t expect the con crowd to feel super clique-y with everyone already friends with each other and not in cosplay so we couldn’t really approach anyone easily.

How does anyone even approach anyone anymore at cons?

>>10862278
Toronto cosplayers and photogs don't go on any trips that don't include conventions or photoshoots, of course they think Blue Mountain is a fantastic resort.

>>10862279
You're not supposed to, creep.

>>10862260
Says who, bruh. Deadass everyone I know talks about it like the best ever. And it is pretty fun. Just expensive which is why its not my #1
>>10862279
If you're not a hot cosplayer don't expect to make friends that party. You either meet and befriend ppl you stick with as a baby coser or you're doomed for eternity. No one will pick a random dude to bring to their party. I went to different parties every night but thats cuz I had many friends to invite me places.

>>10862327
you're the cancer

>>10862327
>bruh
>deadass
>the best ever
>cuz I had many friends to invite me places

sure

>>10862327
Just a genetic lottery diff

There are just some things you can't change. They're predetermined by your parents and the country you were born in.

>>10862321
Lose weight.

>>10861692
How do people enjoy a con when there is no con? Just go on vacation somewhere that's actually good. There's like two panels, no events, how do people even convince themselves this is a real con, let alone brag about it like it's hot shit?

>>10862437
>Just go on vacation somewhere that's actually good.
I've only heard good things about the con so me and my friends decided to check it out this year despite having no panels.

Not sure why everyone highly praises the venue, by Saturday afternoon we were ready to go home after coming up Friday morning. Takes about 20 minutes to see the entire village, did all the activities on Friday. Barely anyone was cosplaying by Saturday afternoon. Village is made up of nothing but sporting stores and mediocre restaurants. You can get Beavertails in Toronto. Only thing that was kind of interesting was the axe throwing.

I'm ready for the Yeti enthusiasts to come at me and say we're "probably boring, ugly and friendless" but honestly? For the price and distance, we could've gone somewhere way better and were confused at the hype. If partying and drinking in your rooms what makes the con fun, we could've just stayed home or gone to someone's cottage to do the same thing.

>>10862471
>I've only heard good things about the con
Sorry you were lied to. The Yeti enthusiasts are all part of the group that run Yeticon so they are loud and annoying about it. I feel like it only gets praise from people who can't afford a flight and a real vacation so they think it's some top notch resort. Blue Mountain is hype in the winter if you like winter sports.

>>10862479
Feel like it’s only praised by cosplayers who are too broke to go on a real vacation and think Blue Mountain is a god tier photo op.

>>10862486
>god tier photo op.
I don't understand this! Also AN and the garage photos. Are weebs standards that low?

>>10862471
did you play the golf course? i was interested in that. not the mini golf the actual course.

>>10862491
You’re gonna see everyone and their mom with pics at either the mini waterfall behind one of the restaurants or the rocks nearby in the next few weeks.

>>10862471
>I've only heard good things about the con

This is the problem when listen to a bunch of alcoholic con people

>>10862508
Already have and the mothers look in better shape. Most cosplayers have gain a few pounds

Any hot girls?

>>10862486
Blue mountain is expensive as hell all the normies there are rich so its not the "too broke" cosers, the too broke stay home

>>10862564
Not when there are like 10 of them shoved into one hotel room
