Leebo,
Bike will be used only in winter, powder riding, and paced or groomed trail all in Montana. I have 4 full suspension bikes that serve me well for all other riding. 80mm rims is what I've been looking at. My other bikes are run tubeless with no problems at all. I've been reading online that there are quite a few people who have problems running tubeless. Issue being they can't get the tire to seat properly. Is that an issue with fat bike tires? Budget is between $1500.00 & $2000.00 give or take. Found some great demo deals on the Borealis website that another poster on MTBR put me onto. Great deals for sure.
