Fat Biking in the Yukon - Video

 Great job Dan. Really impressive images, love the way you shoot the Yukon!

 So awesome to see your stuff again!

 that's why i love fat bikes. they pack down all the trails and i can ride my mountain bikes in mid-winter!

 For sure! We finally got snow! I don't want to put the MTB away but thank jeebus for my fat bike!

 Quebec is winter, fatbike everywhere here

 Come on up, you won't regret it! The winter is a whole other world and our fat biking community is huge now in Whitehorse. Every year there are more and more pack trails to ride.

 Awesome! And if he's too busy, get in touch with me. I'll show you the sickest places to ride a fat bike in the Yukon.

 Where do you ride them? Rim trail? That sounds impossible.

 In my experience, I have loved my Fatbike. It allows me to ride when not even the roadies are not able to! As far as the fork, it is very much up to you. Due to the lack of suspension and the big tires, fat bikes are a very bumpy ride. A Bluto would help absorb a lot of these bumps and essentially make it more comfortable. However that adds more weight to an already fairly heavy bike. A rigid fork is obviously a lot lighter, but it can cause a lot of fatigue on your hands/arms on longer rides.
Personally if I had the money I would go for a Bluto. If you don't care so much about weight and want more comfort, go for it!

 Agree with kdstones but also depends on your climate. Bluto is great until it gets really cold (-15C or lower). I have seen two become "stuck down" in the cold. Once the trails are snow packed it is really not necessary, although there are times when you get hard ice ruts it would be nice to have suspension up front.

If you buy a rigid fork bike, look for one that uses 150 x 15m front axle. That will give you flexibility to convert to a Bluto in future without needing a whole new front wheel.

 If you're on a limited budget and will mostly be ridding in snow then I would get studded tires first, a dropper post second, and a Bluto fork third.

 Love my bluto, it weighs like 5g more than my rigid steel fork.

It's nice in the snow when you're riding something after someone has hiked it without snowshoes and you've got a ton of holes to ride over. Makes front wheel braking and handling more forgiving. I don't ride my bike below 0 deg f, so the fork hasn't been an issue yet. If you're riding in super cold, you'll need cable disc brakes as well.

My biggest issue is setting the shock pressure and tire pressure in my garage. When i get to the canyon where its 30-40 deg cooler i loose a couple psi in the tires and my fork bottoms out a ton. Got in the habit of bringing a shock pump and floor pump to double check before each ride.

Tldr:

Pros: handling, more forgiving ride

Cons: maintance and setup, poor cold performance

 Thanks for the knowledge guys. is hardly less than -5 where I live, and not that much snow, but a lot of ice. so bluto it is. Cheers.

 get the bluto. youd be surprised how hard you can push a fat bike with suspension

 That's what you tell yourself in college at 1:59 am.

 Drone freaks.

 I agree. It is almost as bad as starting the video with the rider waking up, cooking & eating breakfast, and having a coffee before it shows any kind of riding.

Videos need to start with the straight up riding instead of this BS.

 When snowboarding is good, the biking is crap. When the biking is good, snowboarding is crap. It's not an issue

 There is actually a lot more footage from Whitehorse trails in this video than there is from Carcross. There is also lots of footage from places around Whitehorse/Carcross area; Fish Lake, Alligator Lake and Benneth Lake.
