I mean, bikes are weird though right? They actually have multiple modes of steering. You're right, the standard mode is to lean the bike which causes the steering, however you generally counter turn the wheel to initiate the lean. Most bikes are much too stable to lean purely with weight alone. Secondly, at lower speeds and higher turning radius' bikes do in-fact steer with the front wheel, counter to their lean. Often encountered while navigating a parking-lot for example. I imagine an All-terrain bike is more likely to be needing to operate more often in this envelope however, so am also a bit confused on how it's anticipated to work.

Turning into a parking lot with a snow bike is quit feasible: you just need to go slow and plan ahead. And possibly back up a few times. Because making a 90-degree turn in snow really isn't any easier than on tarmac! Mostly, you'll use your snow bike to go fast (60-100 km/h, 40-60 mph), and you really want to plan your trajectory pretty well at those speeds. Using your handlebars, or your 'brakes' just isn't a realistic option! Sure, if you want to turn left a bit: lean heavily left, and steer slightly right. And vice versa. But making any sudden turns? Not going to happen, especially not with a passenger...
