If it's a four-season tent you're looking for, enter the Sphere Expedition. I have yet to find wind that couldn't roll off the shoulder of this tent thanks to the well placed poles and internal/external guys.

Its full coverage fly comes close to the ground with a skirt on the vestibule's bottom to help keep out rain splash and snow on uneven ground. The large front and rear doors can be zipped from the top down to allow for controlled venting. It's sold as a three-person tent and that it is, with the large vestibule able to hold all of their gear. The design is very similar to the Dome Expedition but is a little higher, with more vertical walls and a D shaped fly door making it less aero-dynamic.

Sierra Designs has discontinued this tent back around 1996 so you'd be hard pressed to find a new one, but I thought I'd give this mini review anyway.
