Details
Take along the Big Agnes String Ridge Tent for your ski mountaineering trip in the Teton backcountry. Big Agnes made this two-person, four-season tent to stand up to winter storms and not weigh a ton in your backpack. The durable Cordura tent body features a mesh door and closeable mesh vents to protect you from the elements yet let air circulate. Shielded fly vents let you get air when you get snowed in. Reflective guylines and reflective webbing on the tent corners ensure you dont trip over your String Ridge Tent when you get a nighttime start. DAC Featherlite poles might be lightweight, but they hold up to wind. Oversized aluminum stakes help secure your home away from home, and stakeout loops work with your skis, ice axe, or ski poles. Store your pack or boil some water in your vestibule space.

Winter Tents Checklist
 |
Quality? Thankfully, most
four-season tents are high-quality. You can't go wrong getting a
tent by The North Face, Marmot, Mountain Hardwear or Black Diamond. |
|
Don't Get Too Big! Due
to the bulk of winter camping gear, many people get "too large" of
a tent. Unless you truly have use for a large tent (due to having
more people), it's better to match the tent's size to the number
of people. |
|
Smaller Tents Stay Warmer. A
smaller tent will stay warmer with the same people in it. Thus, a
tent designed for four people (but which has only two people in it),
will not be as warm as a two-person tent with two people in it. Yes,
it's common sense, but many people forget about it. |
|
Convertible Tents? There
are a few four-season winter tents that are known as "convertible
tents," working for both three season and four-season uses. These
tents are alright for late fall/early spring use where there exists
a high probability of winter weather. However, convertible tents
are NOT ideal for either intense winter camping OR normal three-season
use. |
|
If You Camp in Both Winter And Summer. Instead
of getting a convertible tent, it's best to get one dedicated tent
for three-season use and another for dedicated four-season use. It's
not necessarily anymore expensive, either. |
