Bill S.

A minor geography correction: Taos ski area is located in the Sangre De Christo mountain range.

Also, just to further emphasize your point that Kilimanjaro does indeed have benign weather, with low temps rarely below zero on the summit.

I hear about 15,000 people annually try the hike, and can stay in huts if they want. Bet the -40 below zero bag was plenty warm for the expedition, and I hope you worked out your water filter worries

Agreed that it's "counterproductive to try to scare a prospective winter camper by quoting the all-time records." I tried to make the same point by saying that "typically, you don't just happen on to these conditions... but (they) happen in places where you can more-or-less plan for them."

Tents I'm using currently for winter are mainly GoLite Hex-3 and MSR Twin Peaks. They work good.
