Hey there folks,
Wondering what your thoughts might be on this tent and its design in the 4 season aspect. I'm not too experienced in the snow and wondering if it could handle a fair amount of snow fall, heavy winds and such.
Details are below
It is advertised as "4 season + snow performance"
Any thoughts fellas?

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

The fellers at Bogong tried hard to get me to upgrade to it.
When used with the addition of a pair of ski poles I imagine it would carry a big snow load before collapse

I used to own an old style second arrow and I can say they make very nice tents. The quality is exceptional.

Can confirm, the tent can take a substantial snow load. Took it out expecting a dusting- received a fair bit of fall, so much that we were trudging.
