It is interesting to check the conditions of the trails before heading up there. You would like snow that is firm, but not icy. Depending on the temperature, adjusting your tire pressure has never been more important! According to VéloMag, there are three pressure factors to consider when inflating your FatBike tires:
1. The less your weight and the weight of your bike, the less you need to inflate.
2. If your tires and rims are narrow, less inflation will be required to compensate for the narrow footprint. If they are wide, you need to inflate more.
3. The drier the snow (cold temperature), the less inflation is necessary. On the opposite, the wetter and more compacted it is, the more you swell.
