I have never ridden a Fat Bike before. Is this experience for me?
Riding a bike on snow is better with traction. With a larger tire, lower air pressure can be used, offering more grip, stability, braking and fun factor! It is an ideal sport for those who want a fun way to explore the winter backcountry. If you know how to ride a bike, this sport is relatively easy to pick up. Some of our clients come out every year even if they have biked before because they like to know that our guides know the trails and we provide the best gear.
