I can make it through 6" of fresh powder on my Hunqapillar with my 2.25" smart sams. It's when it's deeper that it's challenging. It seems to me the fatbike window of ridable snow isn't too much larger than my Hunqapillars for all practical purposes. I've been in snowshoes in fresh powder up to my navel trying to go uphill. That didn't work so well. Grin.
