Anyone camp with this in the snow? How did it perform?

Have not camped in snow, but if used with the liner, I really don't see why it wouldn't work for you. It has very wide side door which is a must for getting in and out with your snow clothing. The tub bottom is high off the ground so that's a plus. I've camped in snow in much cheaper tents and they did ok, I am sure this nicer one will not disappoint.

The sleeping bag is great .this bag is great for reg camping . In a tent ,car,or home use .if you are planing snow camping it's ok as long as u don't get it wet like most bag they are not all water proof . Those are special sleeping bags for that. There is a spray you can buy to reflex the water off. It all depends what your u are going to do with the grizzly .any more questions fill free to ask mr.Robinson

The tent held up pretty well. It was unfortunately stormy when I used it, but we were nice and dry inside. It doesn't hold heat very well, due to the ventilation, so I wouldn't recommend it for colder weather. The front canopy over the door stayed in place fairly well. I had to re stake it after the rain soaked the ground, but only in a couple spots. The bottom of the tent held up nicely against any flooding our campsite got, and didn't tear from the cot we were using. I was really surprised at how well we stayed dry, we were expecting warm dry weather and got a sudden rainstorm that lasted all weekend. The tent held up pretty well.

The tent has plenty of screens and a roof vent that works well. I would not try to sleep in it with the vent not open all of the way or it will be stuffy. I found that with the roof vent open and the screens partially open it does fine in both summer and winter. The tent handles the rain without any leaks and is a breeze to setup even by yourself. I recommend putting a tarp underneath it to protect the floor from anything that might puncture it. The tent handles the wind really well and makes camping enjoyable by not having to fight with poles coming apart. Best tent for your money in my opinion!

My wife and I are both rather big (I am 260 lbs) and we both sleep on one of the bays together (Queen size air mattress a little big). We had two teens sleep in the other bay. This summer we got caught in a snow storm and sub freezing temperatures over two night with another family. This tent was off the ground and much warmer (being off the ground) and we put a tarp over it as well (snow and sleet on night 1). We actually had 8 in the tent that night with two adults and children on the floor. Stayed warm together. OK...hope that helps.

Just to remind you, this is a winter tent. I would wake up sweating my ass off at any temperature over 40 degrees F. Maybe it's just because I'm from Minnesota, but you wouldn't be using this unless it's at least cold enough to have snow underneath it. It does appear to be thick enough to withstand small branches or rocks, but I've always used a footprint underneath it unless there is adequate snow. I used a piece of painter's plastic (thick 6mil I think) for a footprint until I sewed one together from ripstop nylon.

I wouldn't recommend this tent in the snow or the wind. This Tent NEEDS to be staked down to stay up (not sure it would hold the weight of snow or gusts of wind. But is has a nice water proof base that comes up about a foot on the edges, so rain is ok.

Ive had this tent out half a dozen times in temps less than 20 deg., twice with snow, and it has performed flawlessly. Holds body heat well, and the structure is plenty strong enough to handle a snowfall.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

Haven't used it in wet weather yet, but would expect it to do well. We have used it in snow and is was great with the liner in.

It's a very sturdy tent. I don't know how much snow-load it could take. A zipper or Velcro will need to be added to the bottom of both doors before I would consider using it in rainy conditions again. -James-

We never used it in the snow. The large back wheel would probably be "pullable" as the other commenter suggested.

Works great in any snow. I used mine two times this week. Once in slushy wet snow and one in a blizzard. The slushy snow shot out like a hose. It did jam a few times but clears fast. The blizzard, it worked very well too. Shoots out 30 maybe even 40 feet. Very happy with mine.

I have had it now for quite some time up at a campground set up permanently. I do not keep my eye on it continuously but feel like it would be okay unless it can build up of snow, ice and more snow and ice. It has not happened yet.

It does not work well in wet snow, primarily because the chute keeps clogging. Beyond that, it works harder so I have actually had the battery run out on me just short of finishing my driveway due to the intensity/thickness of the snow. But you know, even struggling through the wet snow with this is SO MUCH BETTER than struggling to shovel the wet stuff. It's still faster, easier on my back, and less difficult.

I have used mine in all snow levels and conditions and it work great. I adjusted the height so it can clear snow all the way down to the concrete. When clearing 1"-2" of snow I basically use it like a plow.

I would not recommend this for inclement weather or extreme cold temperatures. As for as inside a tent in a mild climate it would be just fine. Hope this answers your question.
