Honestly, fat biking in several inches fresh snow sucks, especially when it's close to or above freezing. I really hope this isn't your impression of what fatbiking is. Of course it's slow and of course brakes are useless. You really need people (snowshoers, xc skiers, whatever) to pack down the fresh snow first, or you want the fresh snow to condense a bit and then re-freeze. Ripping down a wavy firmly-packed trail at -10*C, touching your back break to coax the rear tire out into a huge left-hand scandi-flick... THAT is what you need to experience.
