Big Agnes SL3 tent - 12/01/08 01:10 PM

I am debating going on a November backpacking hunt in Wyoming next year. It may be snowing, or it may be just fine weather. I've got a Cabela's Alaskan Guide Tent and it will stand up to ALOT. I was wondering how the BA SL3 tent would do if it did happen to snow. You just can't backpack the Alaskan Guide tent, it is very nice, but comfy for 6 people and weighs about 30 pounds...

Should I look into a tougher tent that is lighter in weight than the Cabelas tent, or will this tent (all staked out and sheltered as much as possible from wind) handle the snow?

Thank ya'll

we need to know which Big Agnes SL3 you are referring to. The Seedhouse or their mountain tent or what else?
