I need to stop reading this thread and any of Ike's trip reports. Serious cabin fever here. Tax accountant wife + young kid not compatible with winter backcountry trips. Roll on late April, hoping for a blizzard. Either that or I'm going to have to use my airmiles to go south of the equator this summer.

Rog,

Hopefully we will get out for another trip once hockey season is over :-)

Stuart,

A trip south of Equator in June might fit the bill.

Ok, since Henry threw in his 2cents I will too-

The Cuben Duomid is a Pyramid and has proven winter mystical healing and calming powers – the tarptent does not not ;-)

Cheers Ron :-)

I have since procurred a sil Trailstar to use as we dont get a whole lot of snow here, the most I have seen overnight is about 8inches, if the forecast was for more I would take a dome.

What I REALLY want is a shelter that has a beer waiting inside of it for me every time I enter it.

(a sub 2lb shelter for backpacking. The corner pub serves that purpose in the city)

That's just awful, but kind of funny anyway.

Yes , some have commented about snow clinging to Cuben, I can see what they meant now.
