You are welcome wham. Not to step on your thread, but I have done a ton of work on snow loads. FWIW steeper angles / strong poles / slick fabric and a place for snow to accumulate go a long ways, but it sounds like you have your own ways. Lots of ways to accomplish things

i just really like the way a tent looks when it is covered in snow... and when it can support a ton of snow then you know that you have a tent that is worth it's salt. my center poles will support a lot of weight and i have literally been under enough snow that the pole was deflected more than 8 inches from center.
if the pole fails, it is easy to fix but none of my high end canopies have ever come apart under snow.

It looks a lot like an old Mountain Smith tipi I had, color wise. Pretty sharp actually.

i can build it any color or camo... the design itself is pure. geometry in motion and sets up in ways i haven't even tried to figure out yet.

That's a really nice design. Well done!
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

What's this shelter weigh, and how would 2 dudes with gear fit in it? I really like the look of that. Tanner

i can build them out of 30 d. silnylon at 1.5 lbs.... all the way up to 500 d. cordura at 4.5 lbs.... it is a very good 2 man shelter with a stove even.
cuben would come in at less than a lb.
weights are for the canopy only in a bag.
