Give me enough time: I may end up with three bikes, Anne. I've had a similar thought as you: Hunqapillar for roads of any kind, and any trails I want; ECR for backcountry tours and some snow; Moonlander for deep winder riding almost anything I want. That's likely gonna be a while though, and I don't know yet how my vertigo responds to 3"+ tires. That takes a trip out to Durango (Denver is too noisy for me to try riding there).
