The yeti is not white, its black or dark brown.The idea of the yeti having white hair comes from a mistranslation of the sino-tibetan name 'metoh-kangmi' meaning abominable man of the rocks. It was mistranslated as abominable man of the snows. Yetis live below the snow line in the forests. The name yeti itself 'rock-beast'.
Interestingly Lars Thomas of Copenhagen University has researched early troll legends and the descriptions of them match up with modern descriptions of the almasty, a man-like creature reported from the mountains of Russia and possibly an early offshoot of Homo erectus or Homo habilis.
