Although at present I don't own a Fatbike, more than likely I will buy one at some point. I don't think that there will be much of an issue, there's plenty of room in the NE Kingdom to do what one wants...

When I moved back to Maine in 2000, I judged the conditions of the snow by what I took out on the trails... great snow I'm on my nordic ski's, if it was icey than I went with my mtn bike with studded tires or chains. Nothing has changed, although a Fatbike would me allow me to get more outside miles over the winter than simply being on the trainer. And of course, I'll always be on ski's when there is snow
