Fat Biking Survey Fat Biking Survey Fat Biking Survey Preamble At OSC we take our members' input very seriously. Please take the time to fill out this survey and send it in to us. Please note that by sending in the survey online it may not be anonymous. Fat biking is an exciting new sport to Burns lake and is fast becoming popular across Canada. At OSC we have had inquiries about the use of our groomed cross country ski trails for fat biking. We are currently investigating insurance coverage for fat biking and any future use on our groomed trails will be contingent on us obtaining adequate and affordable coverage. Your ski club membership includes insurance coverage for various sports but unfortunately fat biking is not one of them. We are taking this opportunity to survey our members about their perceptions and opinions about fat biking at the club. Please check the appropriate box or fill in the blanks. Comments are welcome at the bottom.
