Right, the Skyview is no longer made. It consists of the tent body, which has LOTS of openings (with zippable panels to close them) hence the name "skyview" :). In dry weather in the Sierra, I much prefer to use it this way.

However in wet, cold, windy, or snowy weather, I use the fly. The fly does not have any "vents" per se. However, now that I think of it, I think the door flap zippers can be zipped downward (normally you zip them open from the bottom). By zipping them down at the top one would provide some ventilation at the expense of potential water/snow getting through and falling onto the occupant.
