Anybody posting here who thinks that Bill does not know whereof he speaks simply demonstrates his own ignorance. I also have over a half century of wilderness experience and have lived alone above timberline in the Canadian Rockies for months at a time, in pre-fabbed cabins flown in by helo and in tents of both types.

I much PREFER free-standing tents, but, own and use both types.I am a hardcore Integral Designs and Hilleberg fan, won't buy anything else now although Nemo intrigues me and I have spoken with them.

BTW, for anyone interested, the term "a skiff of snow" is quite commonly used here in Canada to describe a slight, usuallu windborne trace of snow, just enough to take readings on your snowboard at your alpine station. This is more prevalent in the Rockies than in the Selkirks or Coast Range due to climatic factors. No tent worthy of consideration will be compromised by this type of weather.
