<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think most ultralight shelters will do alright
for most three season use, including occasional moderate snows, if you
set them up well and are willing to wake up and knock snow off of them from the
inside from time to time. I used both my Silshelter and Six Moons Design Lunar
Solo last summer and got snowed on a few times. Not as good as a four
season tent in the snow but I got by fine. I am a firm believer in setting up in
areas protected from the wind, and those two shelters stood up to
everything I encountered except for a stake or two pulling out one night in
screaming winds near East Glacier.</FONT></DIV>
