that is a lot of action crammed into a short timeframe. gorgeous photos!

great report. I love the area entering at Lizz/Swamp and it would be so cool to see in the winter.

Beautiful. Looks like a lot of fun.

Love seeing ski-tracks cut into the snow.

Fun trip!

I enjoyed the Trip Report and Photos Dan. Thanks for posting. The new tent design looks great. How did it work? Did you design it? At first glance it looks like a Snowtrekker style tent.
Is that the old tent next to it with the green on the roof?
Sounds like it was a great trip.

The shape of the tent is unique design I came up with. It worked well I believe. There is your typical condensation issues with single wall tents, but manageable. Room For 3 squeeze 4. 8 foot at the peak and 6 foor at the door. 30" knee wall all around. 8'across at the back, 8 1/2 feet back from the peak 10 foot wide at the peak, and 5 foot wide at the door. Being all white it really was bright in the day and reflected well in the evening. It came in at 6 1/2 lbs in stuff sacks with poles and snow anchor bags and ropes. in the one picture you can see the snow anchor flaps around the base.
The tent with a green is my old octagon tent with a 10 foot peak. made it that tall so a couple of friends that are 6'6" tall can stand up in. Great trips with good folks.

Great job on the tent design and construction! Thanks for the details.

I had the pleasure of touring Dan's green octogon tent at the Winter Camping symposium at the end of October. I was very impressed.

Looks & sounded like a couple of nice adventures.

Thanks for taking the time to share your story(s) and photos.

Inspiring trip report to get out and winter camp. Night picture is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
