Used this tent on Mt Hood in Oregon in early May. Held up well, especially for the light weight. Does not have a door that will close so it got a little cold with the wind blowing off the ice. You have to depend on the fly to keep the wind out.

Quality is superb, but not a winter tent. I think it would hold a snow load easily. I will use it next time and put my sleeping bag in a bivy for extra warmth.

The tent could easily sleep 3. But it is a dream for 2, and at just over 6 lbs you can't beat it.
