Fat biking is to biking as snowshoeing is to hiking. Rolling on tyres twice the width of a standard mountain bike, the extra girth really helps to keep you on top of the snow. If you can ride a bike, you can ride a fat bike.
Fernie's amazing trail system is perfect for winter riding, with everything from easy, level, multi-use community trails, to groomed shared trails, to challenging singletrack. Pick up a copy of the multi-use trail map and ask for advice at gear shops or at the Visitor Information Centre and sign up for a camp or join a weekly ride! If you're new to fat biking, here are some pointers to get you out riding this winter.
Fat bikes are just like any other bike, but with custom forks and extra-wide tires to provide extra stability, grip and stopping power in the snow. It's a self-powered activity; you can go anywhere you feel comfortable riding. It's also great exercise! Just like nordic skiing and snowshoeing, it's a great cardiovascular workout and uses a good range of muscles but is also low-impact thanks to the forgiving snow conditions and bike suspension.
