There are two different appearances to the yeti that greatly differ from each other: those that lost their magical abilities, and those that still retain them. Both groups have white hair all across their bodies to better blend in with the Freljord environment and live extremely long lives.
Those that lost their magical abilities are the vast majority of the remaining yeti race. Less intelligent that their magical counterparts, the key features of their appearance is the almost humanoid like appearance resembling an ape. Young yeti have lighter white hair covering their entire bodies. Older yeti, while also substantially larger, also lose hair from their heads while they age. With sharp claws and underbite teeth that function as tusks, these yeti are an imposing threat to anyone facing them. The Frostguard use these yeti as mindless fighters.

He was the only one that remained faithfully and zealously guarding the little that remained of the yeti magic, a gem that swirled with the frozen dreams of any mortal mind nearby. Though his task meant he had to find a worthy vessel for the remaining magic, the humans who came to his lair had only malice and greed in their haerts. Until one day, gave Willump what he truly needed, a friend. Giving the remaining magic to the boy, the Yeti and his newfound friend parted, searching to become heroes.
