Fat front questions for ti fargo in AK winter

Trip planned for AK in Jan/Feb (ITI camp, not racing), then down to OR after. I'm taking my ti Fargo for the OR segment, but was going to hire a fat for AK. How hard would it be to ride a fat front fargo in ITI camp situation? Just thinking out aloud, an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for ages. Could save me a bit of coin by not having to hire wheels in AK, but not worth a cracker if it is rubbish on the trail, causes me headaches with trains/ferries etc. plus no ability for pogies on woodchippers.
Would simplify, as I will just build the fargo to suit - dyno hub, cutout darryl/marge, larry, enabler

Well, if you set up with a 29'er snowcat or Umma in the rear and a fat front...I'm pretty sure you would suffer miserably, unless there were no fresh snow before and during your camp...and if it remained -20f the whole time...also pretty sure Kathy and Bill would not be too keen on your equipment choice and not clear you for the race...contact Arctic Cycles, he's listed on their UltraSport page and has a great working relationship with all aspects of the Merchant's Alaskan winter endeavors...

Yeah, that's what I figured, Arctic cycles was already on the list and have checked them out.
