Oriental Adventures has it, I believe the new Frostburn has a 3.5 version.

In total, 4 books have the yeti, in one form or another.
Oriental Adventures has a yeti that's little more than a snow ape. No frightful presence, no draining of heat.
Tome of Horrors has a more accurate to 1e yeti, with both those features.
The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting mentions yetis as native to the Sword COast North, and suggests using a dire ape's stats.
Frostburn has a yeti, but whether it's an update of the OA yeti or the more magical 1e yeti I do not know.
Demiurge out.

And don't forget the demi-yeti, the archyeti, the dracoyeti, and the dire legendary axiomatic yeti.

d20 Modern Menace entry
Here is the entry for the d20 Modern SRD Menace Manual section, ( http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/msrd ) fairly useable straight in D&D.
YETI
A yeti is a large, white-furred, human-shaped creature that stands about 8 feet tall and weighs approximately 300 pounds. Its long fur is heaviest around the head and shoulders, and its hands and feet are wide and flat. Layers of fat insulate its body, allowing it to survive and even thrive in subzero conditions. Although a yeti can stand and walk upright, it tends to hunch over and use its hands and feet, in the manner of a gorilla, to navigate ice floes and rocky terrain. Its eyes are either blue or colorless, and it has an extra pair of transparent eyelids that allow it to see even in blowing snow.
Species Traits
Cold Subtype (Ex): A yeti is immune to cold damage. It takes 50% more damage from fire attacks.
Constrict (Ex): A yeti deals normal claw damage (treat as bludgeoning damage) plus 2d6 points of cold damage with a successful grapple check against a target at least one size category smaller than itself.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the yeti must hit an opponent at least one size category smaller than itself with its claw attack. If it gets a hold, it automatically deals claw damage each round that the hold is maintained, and it can constrict in the same round.
Skill Bonus: The yeti’s white fur grants it a +15 species bonus on Hide checks made in snowy conditions.

When the PCs in my campaign fought a yeti, I just used the dire ape stats. They worked out well enough.
