Pray....you don't get hammered with 3' of snow...  :chuckle:

Actually we hunt out of two of these tents and have had heavy wind and snow on them with no problem at all. It is not an expedition grade but great for snow camp and hunting trips...

if feet of snow isn't a concern I'm still a big fan of my eureka spitfire, cheap and light, though very cozy.

if you can spend the money, or find a good deal. This one is pretty nice when the temp drops.

Here's the big brother to the Alpenlite. If you have more than one person or want room to keep your gear dry, 12lb weight, same price (actually if you search you can get closer to $250) and 4 season for less than $300. It's my 12 lb cabin!

This tent is freestanding for normal use, but has guylines for high wind. The six sided design performs pretty well in wind.... I can heat it really well with just a propane light, even with all the ventilation it has. I love it, own two and will buy a third after my first one is totalled. Zipper failure after about 10 years of use...
