"It's a pretty contentious issue in the cross-country ski world," said John Bowes, general manager of the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club in Prince George. "They want cross-country trails to be cross-country trails," he said. Some trail users welcome fat bikers as they pack down snow, making them easier to traverse. And as someone who both skis and fat bikes, he believes it's fully possible for that to happen. "Conditions determine whether you can or can't ride on cross-country ski trails [with a fat bike]," he explained.
