You should be able to find a shop that will let you demo a fatty in MT I would think. I personally love my Farley 5 and my 7. Selling the 7 it's too big for me. I know the price on the 5 is $1799. I just bought 1 to replace my 7. The bike is really nice. It comes rigid so you may want to look into a suspension fork. It is not as necessary for snow only. The Gnarwahl tires that come on the Farley really have some teeth. You can stud them yourself or buy the studded. Also check out the Framed fattys as they are pretty nice for the money. A buddy bought one and really likes it. I like it with some mods.
Good luck in the search!
