45NRTH certainly is coming up with some cool stuff. I just picked up some mitts and flat pedals for my new fat bike. Their boots are expensive but am looking at them since nobody carries Lake around Denver, it seems. I live west of Denver behind the first row of foothills and we get a lot more snow on these roads too. I am not sure about ice, though I assume some collects on the sides since some areas don't melt. This is the first winter I will be truly riding so will look into these tires. I'll convert the stock ones to tubeless in the meantime.
