I have more issues with wind than snow. Usually I only get a little snow if out when chance of snow is less, but still there. I've used a Sierra Designs 3 season tent in my worst encounter, moderate wind with two feet of snow o/n. Only bent my poles some, which I have corrected. A good 4 season shelter is gonna cost. I'm looking for another 4 season tent now, plan on getting another dog this Spring, my BD Hilite will be too small unless I get a tiny mutt.
