Tarp vs tent in snow

[Finbob]

Looking for a lightweight shelter that could hold up to potential snowfall while hunting Colorado this fall.

Max 2 people using shelter at once

I’ve been looking at the kifaru tarps, the seek outside cimarron, and a few BA tents.

Would love any and all input from y’all. Thanks

I have always been a tent fan when the wet blowing snow gets going. Usually more space in case you have to hunker down through the storm.

Paratarps will handle the snow, I've had mine mine in a few good snow storms. The kicker is that crawling in and out of a low tarp is no fun in snow. Neither is hanging out in one for long periods of time. I'd recommend a taller tipi style shelter, or a well designed tent. IE not a cheapo 3 season. Hilleberg, Tarptent, Zpacks, etc would be good.

I love my SO cimarron with stove for when the snow flies. I don't have a 4 season tent though, so for me it's either 3 season UL tents or a hot tent. Lots of options and ways to do it I guess.
