The entry expense is relatively high, but fat biking is year round fun. Once you buy the bike and helmet... basically, that's it. There's a pretty vibrant community of people to meet who fat bike. Good bikes are pretty expensive though, and likely more than you indicate you want to spend.

You could probably get some inexpensive fishing gear. I combine hiking and fishing in the whites to get my sanity restored. Granted, that's not exactly a year round activity.

Are there nice biking trails for fat bikes that are similar to trails you’d find for ATV stuff? Because that would be fun and I guess a little cheaper

green woodlands is a great option. Not sure about winter though.

yeah, but usually the biking trails are singletrack. It's really mountain biking, but there's often a contingent in the winter that sets up the biking trails so that fat bikes can use them.
Which reminds me... another cheap activity... snowshoeing. that's how a lot of the fat bike trails get packed down to ride on. So it can kind of expand.
There are MTB bike groups all over the state, and then usually fat biking groups are a subset of those.
