cornering creates a spray like turning skis on powder |
The storm only sent 3" our way but with the wind, it goes up to a foot in places. Other than said drifts, the local trails are still rideable on the Rotundcycle for the most part. LOW pressure is key (as in sub-10lbs...my pump starts at 10 so I'm kinda guessing how low it is!) as is a light pedal stroke and some good balance. It can be frustrating losing your front wheel traction only to put a foot out into the un-packed trail and posthole into a fall onto your side, but the flats and downhills with fresh snow are to die for.

new snow! not too much, not too little, just right. |
Fatbikes really don't float as well as some think. It's
much better than a 2.4" tire but you still do a lot of washing out and walking when it's anything but hardpack. It's funny how it's a totally unique experience on snow...like learning to ride a bike all over again.
