Have you hung your mountain bike from the rafters in the garage and put aside dreams of biking the trails ’til next spring? Not so fast! You can still explore tons of great bike trails in Park City this winter – just rent a fat bike and get out there!
Park City is well-known for its extensive mountain bike trails, and with more than 450 miles to explore, you can spend a lot of time pedaling your way across this beautiful landscape.
Even when the snow starts to stack up in the winter, you can still get out there and enjoy all the these trails have to offer - you just need a fat bike.
Fat bikes are different than standard mountain bikes. As the name suggests, they have fatter tires that measure 4-5 inches wide. That extra width allows the bike to float over the snow, whereas regular bike tires would immediately sink.
These bikes are tons of fun to ride, and you'll love the way the low-pressure tires roll right over every obstacle in your path. Fat biking in the snow is a lot easier on your joints than regular mountain biking, and it's easy to learn.
A decent fat bike will set you back hundreds of dollars, but you don't need to own one to get out there and give it a try. Pop into White Pine Touring to rent a bike.
Fat bike rentals at White Pine Touring start at just $48.
If you're not sure where to take your fat bike, reserve a fat biking tour. The pros at White Pine Touring will help you choose a bike that fits you, then they'll take you out for a two or three-hour tour that's customized to your ability level.
There's just one potential problem with trying fat biking on Park City's beautiful winter trails - you might fall in love with it and want to go out all the time! After all, you'll be surrounded by a beautiful landscape, and you can enjoy a quiet afternoon of biking by yourself...
