And here's another site with links for winter cycling including maintenance: http://greenactioncentre.ca/2012/cycling-through-winter/ In Winnipeg, a lot of the couriers go fixed or single-speed, but we're pretty flat in Winnipeg so the less is more philosophy works well here; obviously this doesn't apply to your situation. Those fat bikes seem like they'd be great for bikepacking, but they sure aren't inexpensive, and I realize you want to use your Hunqapillar. I suspect some snowshoes that you could pack would be useful, too if the snow's deep, because I suspect you'll have to hike a lot of sections.
