Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Have you ever spent a night leaning against your tent walls and praying it holds until morning? You don't have to worry if you're bivied in the Marmot Thor Tent. This burly four-season shelter uses a six pole structural system to stand strong in the face of high-mountain storms from Alaska to the Himalayas. Dual doors and vestibules keep you and your climbing partner from stepping all over each other when you get in and out. Marmot used dual-diameter DAC poles to increase strength where needed and shave ounces where some could be trimmed. You don't want to carry any more weight up the mountain than you have to."

"I previous owned a lot of tents. My favorite 2 person was the Moss Stardome. The Thor is my replacement for the Stardome.

Thor is heavier. Make no mistake this tent is built for gale force wind and heavy weather.

Some features:
-Lots of internal room."

"I posted a review for this tent long ago but for some reason it did not make it here. I wanted to give you a true story about how strong this tent is. We had been on a fishing/hiking/camping trip in Alaska and caught in a snowstorm that left a foot of new snow on the ground by morning."

"Good tent, though bent poles and useless fastex clip design present an Achilles heel. I used this on a major trip to Alaska. During a snowstorm, most of the poles snapped, demonstrating that weakness in design is not worth the tradeout in the miniscule space gained by the "elbow" pole system."

"I agree with the previous reviewer (Tom); this is a really well designed and thought-out tent. I use this tent exclusively for winter, and it handles wind and snow very well, but most importantly, condensation is very minimal thanks to the great venting."

Reviewed by Tom, Feb 21, 2004

"I love the clever design of this tent. While most reviews talk about the obvious (floor print size, weight, pole design, etc), few take the time to really use the tent and pick up on the details.

So let me state the obvious. . . this is a fairly light (about 8lbs) 4 season tent."
