[at-l] Nomad in the Snow

[m_factor@hotmail.com (Mara Factor)]

The Nomad is not a winter tent.  It had a hard enough time handling the 
little bit of spring snow I had this past year in Georgia.  For winter, you 
need a tent that stays taught, and sheds snow.  Depending on where you're 
using it and the conditions you expect, it may also need two exits in case 
one gets snowed in, etc.

I wouldn't push the Nomad beyond the three season use it was intended for.  
Carry the extra weight of a good winter shelter.  It could save your life.
