Cheers guys. I was torn between the 141 and Transition Scout alloy, but the Scout frame was around 400€ more and availability for the size small unknown. Other options where equally unavailable when I decided to order last January. I'm pretty sure I'd be just as happy with the Transition, but so far the 141 has been great. It took me a while and some cockpit adjustments to get used to it (a couple of shuttle days helped too), but I'm 100% enjoying it now. Privateer/Hunt are great to deal with as well, I have no doubt they'll have my back should anything happen.
Updated old lyrik select for a new -23 zeb ultimate. Not quite sure yet if it was an upgrade though.
I must say now that the new zeb is not a winter fork with original oils, gets really sticky and slow below ~+5 celsius. I mean REALLY SLOW. Other than that, feels good.
Yes, but you need to switch to the fat bike. Trails around here get about 2 feet of snow on them (really, they should already have snow on them, but it's been a weird fall). Even on a fat bike, you can only ride trails that see a certain amount of traffic on them, to keep the snow packed down enough to ride.

I know a few dedicated folks that put screws in their tires and ride some pretty intense (and well hiked) trails all winter, but most people fatbike out here in the Calgary/Kanaskis area.
I generally don't have any interest in fat biking, but if I did, it'd be on one of these. Locally handmade, modern, aggressive geo fatbike:
